I have several friends who were born and raised in Hungary, who no longer live there, because of Orban. They're not lefty intellectuals or political activists. They're just intelligent people with families who as one said "don't want to live in a country where the morons are in control." Orban's rule is responsible for a major Hungarian brain drain. My friends are so opposed to what has happened that they have applied for citizenship in the EU countries where they now live; they have no plans on going back.

This is what happens when the right wing takes power: since they are ipso factor braindead morons, that's who ends in running things.

Further proof that Truman was right 74 years ago: "the only 'good Republicans' are pushing up daisies."

The. Republicans. Are. America's. Enemy.

The GOP/Tucker Carlson "replacement theory" is just doublespeak for the strategy of white, heterosexual, self-righteous men stealing the fruits created through the efforts of non-white men & women. First they murdered and looted the Native Americans who honored a peaceful and cooperative life, then they kidnapped and enslaved Black people from other lands and considered them to be mere property, then they murdered them at will if they dared to create a good life for themselves, then they made sure that women who dared to leave the home that was meant to cater to their white male whims would only earn a fraction of what those white males earned. Empowered by those successes, they shamelessly pretend that anyone not like them is trying to steal their rightful places. Makes me sick to my stomach. Literally sick to my stomach.
