  1. Hopefully it’s the beginning of the end of the rise of conservative power we’ve been seeing as of late. Unless people like the timeline we’re living in, of course.

    Trump support, ladies and gentlemen. Can’t live with it, can’t live without it.

    Oh no! You are telling me that the support of a famous pedophile/genocidal/senile individual plummeted the chance of Orban of getting elected by voters? Who could have thought! Operation sabotage of Serbian pipelines was a dunce then. Orban did not try hard enough, he should have done a comedian act like Bolsonaro, now that was an actor. An open association with Trump is like a kiss of death, the only difference is that right-wing voters are the last one to notice it. And Orban is supposed to be a high model for Evangelists/Republicans/Libertarian Democrats in USA. Dont support mediocrity.

  5. US Conservatives won’t admit trump was in putin’s pocket like orban until trump leaves office. Then they all will.

    These people are not conservatives. They are fraudsters that have co-opted an idea or principle for their own purposes. Problem is there are so many people that, once they associate the idea with a person, it is hard for them to separate the two. Almost like a domestic situation where the wife is being beaten up from time to time. She still wants to believe the husband loves and cares for them. And is willing to forgive instead of leaving the toxic relationship. Sad. That is why I see trump as the Jim Jones of the Republican Party. trump is the biggest RINO of them all. Then take our elected officials and appointed members of this administration they know the wrong that is happening and still go along with it anyway. This gives me hope that our society can wake up also and rid ourselves of this trump virus.

    Sound familiar?:

    Upon returning to office in 2010, Orbán and his Fidesz party implemented a legal framework to consolidate authority that he and his allies developed while he was out of power.

    Orbán embraced what he dubbed “illiberal democracy,” building a barrier on Hungary’s southern border to block migrants from Africa and Asia who were moving northward through Europe. He and his party stifled LGBTQ+ rights, cracked down on freedom of the press and undermined judicial independence.

    Orbán cemented his power when his Fidesz party won enough seats in Parliament during the 2010 global recession to rewrite the country’s constitution. They restructured the judiciary to funnel appointments to the bench through party loyalists, redrew legislative districts to make it much harder for Fidesz members to lose elections and helped push Hungary’s media companies to be sold to tycoons allied with Orban.

    Next stop on the couch-ff-er’s, ehrm, I mean Jack Dick Vance’s European tour: Slovenia – Putin’s last stronghold within the EU

    Jack Dick will give every bootlicker the “kiss of death” (quotes are for the censors here)

    Dude has the Mierdas’ touch. Everything he touches/endorses goes to/turns to shit.

    Ngl this is actually great news.

    Trump will have the same effect on New Zealand’s right wing government purely over the fact that he entered the Iran war lol

    Yes, it shows that at least some people are becoming disenchanted with these far right, faux populist leaders who demagogue the hell out of every issue, make bold promises, and appeal to the culture war grievances, conspiracy theories, victimhood, and nativist attitudes of a frustrated base…

    But when they are elected, they abuse their authority to consolidate power, suppress the vote, tear down democratic institutions, attack the courts, bully universities, control the media, and among other things engage in unprecedented corruption.

    Yes, I hope it’s an indication that people are recognizing that these types of leaders never have their voter’s best interests at heart, that they are self serving hypocrites and will do anything to maintain their grip on power, even if it means cozying up with foreign autocrats and replacing democracy with authoritarianism.

    That’s why the right admires Orban. He’s helped normalize the kind of rule by absolutism that Trump is executing here in the United States.

    Weird. How o how will the US ever figure out how to continue without the support of the weakest, poorest, most corrupt country in Europe?!

    I hope they do democracy so fucking hard. 

  13. skeptolojist on

    I’m sitting here in the UK watching right wing idiots like farage look increasingly stupid for going full trump ass lickers

    The politicians who were loudly calling for us to join in the this mess at the start are suspiciously quiet right now lol

  14. Vance and MAGA are beginning to learn their endorsement is fatal and their project is lying in ruins. We could really be seeing the turning of the tide on geopolitics. 

  15. A Trump endorsement is a political kiss of death. Everything he touches dies. I have a feeling the US midterms will not be good for Trump and MAGA party. The sooner folks start to unload him, the better.
