Where do people get the idea that Satan and his demons rule over a Kingdom of Hell like God and his angels rule over a Kingdom of Heaven?

Could be they take Jesus' word for it:

Mat 12:26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

Uh, Jesus didn't say that Satan rules over the Kingdom of Hell like God and his angels rule over a Kingdom of Heaven.

There is absolute implication that what Christ said is that very thing. A 'kingdom' by definition was and is a well established concept that all peoples of the day understood. A single monarch with a hierarchy of ruling authorities. Satan's kingdom is established and authority on the Earth was granted to him. During Christ's temptation, Satan (Matthew 4:9) offered all of the kingdom's of the Earth and Jesus did not correct him, implying that the Earth belonged to Satan. He is also called the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4) giving him specific authority.
