Guess what happens if the new government fails to improve people’s lives and then goes to election season lying to the people that things are as good as they can expect, while the fascists correctly tell them shit sucks, and lie that its the fault of <insert oppressed minorities/foreigners>.
lie that its the fault of <insert oppressed minorities/foreigners>
I think it’s important to note that that that’s one of the things that lead to Orbán’s downfall. They did this constantly, for more than a decade, ignoring or subverting real issues. People eventually had enough of it, including his supporters.
Note that the election theater in Hungary replaced a Putin rightoid with a Euro rightoid. Their results were nothing more than a extension of a geopolitical power shift. The elections themselves were not that relevant. No mere election is. And no geopolitical power in the world order really REALLY care about teh authoritarianism or populism.
The current scene in the US election theater is about the blue faction of the uniparty hoping to pull a mini miracle and reach 50 seats in the senate, so they can see Vance tie breaking. And even that is very unlikely. Not that the whole thing matters in any way, no matter the results.
It’s been less than six months, ffs. Did you seriously expect 16 years of damage to be undone overnight?
