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.
The only good thing Hitler did was kill himself. I hope Trump will be capable of doing one good thing too. It’s not a question if it will fall, but when. So far in history, fascist regimes didn’t survive for long.
Eh. Hitler blew his brains out because he was on the cusp of being captured and undoubtedly executed.
Gonna take that for Trump to do the same, and even then, I doubt he would. Too full of himself.
I’m fine with a Gaddafi or Mussolini ending.
No, no, no. He shouldn’t get the easy way out.
I hope he lives for a long time, and that he spends that long time in prison for the things he did.
He already lived for a long time, and every minute he lives he does horrible stuff.
Would that still be the case if sentenced and imprisoned?
Don’t know about y’all, but I don’t want to wait another decade before we handle America’s fascist problem.
Orban was in power for 16 years.
