The still existing problems and dangers of Trump(ism) and populism for democracy in the USA

The still existing problems and dangers of Trump(ism) and populism for democracy in the USA

By Vladan Lausevic | Vlad's politics | 14 Aug 2023


As Republican presidential contenders prepare for their first presidential election debates, Donald Trump's potential presence will be the focal point, whether physically on the stage or through live social media commentary.

According to poll aggregators such as FiveThirtyEight.com, Trump holds a significant lead over his closest Republican competitor, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, with a polling difference of nearly 40 percentage points.

Despite facing 78 felony counts across three indictments (with a potential fourth from Georgia looming), Trump's standing with GOP voters remains undeterred. While keeping Trump at the center of media attention, these charges have simultaneously overshadowed other candidates, limiting their chances to amplify their campaigns.

This is especially considering that many GOP voters, who often turn to media channels that present a favorable view of Trump, might be exposed to candid criticism from fellow Republicans, including those like Pence who have formerly allied with or endorsed him.

What do you think about the upcoming elections in the USA?
