      Problem: They gerrymandered, control the media and made a law that requires a 66% majority to replace ministers of Orban, even if the opposition wins.

      The problem is an aging countryside population that consumes terrestrial broadcast only. All terrestrial broadcast is controlled by the current government. Young people overwhelmingly support lgbtq rights and the party votes keep shifting year over year towards the opposition the past few years as old people die due to neglected healthcare.

      Here’s the illegal “gay parade” in Budapest from this last summer:

    As much as I hate Orban, I believe we need a bigger opposition against Flinten Uschi, and he is the only one doing this right now.

      Spoiler alert: it won’t. If you drive through Hungary (which we sometimes do) you notice anti-EU ads literally everywhere and he also controls the traditional media outlets so the news bias should be off the charts. My guess is that they’ll frame it like Ursula being a bully and withholding what is rightfully theirs because they don’t like the way Orban protects his citizens. Unfortunately…

        I’m always surprised that this kind of rhetoric works. If the EU were such a big bully, nothing would stop Hungary from just leaving. Like, at some point you’d have to ask yourself why a supposedly competent and well-meaning leader keeps you in a relarionship with an entity that allegedly only wants the worst for you.

          It has been a “the enemy is strong” while at the same time “the enemy is weak” for hundreds of years. Most people are simply not critical thinkers.

            Why not. From its inception this place was populated by religious fruits, tax dodgers, the desperate and uneducated. Hell, half of the country fought a grizzly war against the other half that the losing half still isn’t over. The losing half started it so that men much like Trump could own other men. The slave owners weren’t the ones doing the fighting, of course, rich men don’t fight wars. They stirred up the poor, unlearned yokels, told them that they were being oppressed and sent them to die and kill, which they did. There’s still folks who claim “the South will rise again”.

            Trump is as American as baseball.

          People don’t have the energy or will to pour time into politics so they’re easily swayed by whomever speaks with most authority, even if they’re just blowing smoke up their arse. It’s how all these nazi parties are rising to the top in most countries; they paint a very easy to understand picture of complex problems and promise easy solutions that they can’t deliver.

          “How do we solve crime? Most criminals are immigrants so we just boot them out. Not all criminals are immigrants of course, so we’ll need to also increase the police force. Give them more surveillance tools.”

          Bam! Authoritarianism.

          Hungary is landlocked. Serbia is on its way into the EU.

          The EU could be a bully that is so big that they cannot be left.

            That seems like a huge stretch even to someone who gobbles up all the anti-EU propaganda to me. But you never know, I guess.

    I Hope all those retard “eastern Europe”-countries would just leave the EU, and go back to the stoneage. If they hate it so much, just fucking leave. Instead, we have these Russian assets voteblocking inside the parlament.

      Ah yes because the people of those countries are the ones responsible for the things their power grabbing dictators do? What an idiotic thing to say. The majority of the population of “those countries”, especially the younger people are strongly in favor of the EU.

        I didn’t read their statement as addressing the people of the countries but the countries themselves, meaning their acting governments.
