How should Nozick react if a majority of the people agrees to some Rawls distribution ? Is Nozick going to impose no distribution at all, against the free will of the majority of the people ?

The only difference between Trump and Hitler in this context is that 50 per cent of Americans support Trump, whereas hardly any Americans (and well below 50 per cent of Germans) supported Hitler. This is a huge practical problem for any democratic theory, but it doesn't change the fact that there is no benefit from engaging with Trump or Trumpists.
