Stunning loss of rightwing populist in Hungary carries symbolic significance for opponents of Donald Trump
For US Democrats seeking rays of light in the dark landscape of Donald Trump’s authoritarian onslaught, illumination has arrived from the unlikely source of Budapest.
Viktor Orbán’s stunning defeat in Hungary’s general election – ending 16 years of unbroken rule for his governing Fidesz party – carries symbolic and psychological significance for American politics out of all proportion to the central European country’s modest size and distance from the US.
Yeah but people still lost 16 years of their lives under his bullshit.
The thing about policies are that they have longer effects than the tenure of those that implemented them.
Executing Donyy Shitpants tonight wouldn’t undo all of the damage his administration has done.
For example, the damage Doge did to federal agencies might take decades to recover from and that’s only if there’s a nonpartisan effort to fix it.
I mean I’m 99.999% sure you’re right, but let’s give it a try anyway?
I’m not saying we can’t do it anyway. I’m saying we’d have to get rid of a ton more people and make a concerted effort.
This isn’t getting fixed without a revolution, really.
It’s going to take years, if not decades, to even identify the extent of the damage done by doge
I’m not sure people are ready to accept that America will most likely be in a state of decline for years, if not decades. Some of what we’re experiencing won’t be fixed during our lifetimes.
That’s how important voting is and why it should be taken extremely seriously.
Actually it would give pause to the next wannabe dictator. Violence is sometimes the correct course of action
man you must believe some pretty crazy shit. give us another morsel from your beautiful diversity
So, if youre from murica ,act now ,go voting midterm
And primaries before that.
And look for other things you can do to help. Voting is very important (they wouldn’t do voter suppression/worse otherwise) but is just one tool in your toolbox of political action.
