Its the demagogue problem in democracy.

People love idealism. It never works, but it sounds amazing.

Reddit, HN, and every democracy has the same problem... at least for a few years.

I think after this bout of Trumpism, the republicans will not be able to elect another populist demagogue for a generation. I think democrats need to do a round as well.



Who said there will be elections?

Trump repeatedly said there won't be elections.
