Hungary just proved that even billionaire-backed authoritarian machines can be beaten—and every mini-Orbán from Mar-a-Lago to Moscow should be sweating
I've closed a few comments on the rise and fall of the authoritarian leaders recently with a similar warning for this oligarch funded class of narcissist pols. One in particular....
The warning is quite stark and should be heeded:
Pitch forks to the White House.
The people of the world expect leaders who are NOT hell bent on creating kleptocracy based governments. Expect and deserve. It's not too much to ask, is it?
Orban was past his due date, rotten to the core of his existence. There's another in Moscow. Vote them out or just take them out to the trash can and be done with them.
Good read, Cliff! It is a hopeful sign, and always enjoyable to see a magat hero fall. From what I have read about Magyar, he was a past crony of Orban, and fellow party member. I hope he does use his majority to re-set the constitutional changes Orban made, but I will take a wait and see attitude. The changes made under Orban will also enhance, and entrench Magyars power, and as the saying goes… you know the rest! Fingers crossed!
Oh you do have a way with words. But they are true and heartening and point in a decidedly correct direction. Now it’s America’s turn to throw the bums out, as my father used to say...
Let's hope that the ousting of one dictator will lead to the ousting of another. Gotta have hope!
Have hope and work like the dickens to make it happen. We all have a part to play in turning this ship around….
Yes, we all do. And we have to keep at …
Even a small falling domino can lead to very big changes - and this domino is a massive portion of a country's population demanding positive change!
Well. On the bright side the GQP will have to start looking around for a place to host CPAC now.
Now the American people must Trump and all Republicans the same way by coming out to VOTE.

We have to be strong in response if we want the same outcome. Thirty-six million protestors? Every night? That would be closing in on equivalence.

The gauntlet has been thrown to the American public.
Time to stomp out the fire and call the dogs!

This definitely gives me hope! So so thrilled to see the people win!
Jump in and help make it happen here—the time is ripe for the American people to get out of their houses and join together for change.
