The Hungarian election was won by a large coalition opposed to Orban, not by the woke left. Is something similar possible in 2026? What about 2028?
The Democrats are not obligated in any way to offer a progressive alternative to Trump in the midterms. The election will be about bringing the president back under control; there are no divisions of opinion about that. In 2028, on the other hand, you will see a clash during the primaries between candidates who want to maintain the united front and return America to what it was in 2024 and other candidates who want to abolish the filibuster, reform the Supreme Court, and use the powers asserted by Trump to create a dramatically more progressive country. Who wins that battle? It is way too early to tell.
