While I don’t want to stifle your expressions of anger and outrage, I don’t want you to spiral down into hopelessness.
These are the strong men Trump admires and wants to emulate:
Orban-Hungary pop. 9.6m
Erdogan-Turkey pop. 86m
Putin-Russia pop. 146m
If you divide the populations in half to account for the very young and very old, you’ll get:
Hungary 4.5
Turkey 43m
Russia 73m
The combined adult population of Hungary, Turkey, and Russia is approximately 120.5 million. In comparison, half of the United States' population of 343 million is about 171 million. This means the United States has around 50 million more adults than these three countries combined.
Smaller populations are easier to manage. Especially when they do not have America’s 248-year history of freedom and democracy.
Trump has failed at everything he’s ever done. Do you really think he can control 171 million people? Even if the 76m people who voted for him accept him as a dictator, that leaves over 100 million people that fiercely believe in democracy.
I hope that helps you. If you need more encouragement you can tune into the Rachel Madow show on MSNBC and listen to Keith Olbermann’s podcast Countdown. They saved my sanity 2016-20.
And to answer your question, ‘Who should the democrats run in 2028?’
