The funny thing is how you pretend that it wouldn't be the same fucking thing in any other country. I don't recall seeing this line of garbage about Hungarians "allowing" Orban to control the country for 16 years.

The article is about the US.

But since you mention him, Orbán was plenty bad, afaik he acted largely within the law. Like the gerrymandering in the US that disenfranchises minority voters. And as I said, Trump acts outside the law in addition to all the fucked up stuff they're doing by the book.

hes saying that people were not suggesting hungarians allowing orban to do things. Honestly Im pretty sure I did see things blamine hungarians for the state hungry with voting and such though. So not sure I agree on him. Still I get that many people are nasty despite the many americans tha actually are fighting in the ways they can.

There was plenty critique for Orbán here, I really cannot stand the whataboutism this comment shows.

We have our problems in Europe as well that we need to takle quickly and decisively. If Trump gets away with shit there is someone else in the world taking note, it's a preview of what may come for us soon.

My original comment is in part frustration but also a genuine question. People being driven into existential crises just sucking it up and taking on a 4th job? I would have beheaded Ronald McDonald long before.

If it makes you feel better I am unemployed and protesting. I will keep protesting even if I get a job (technically I substitute teach). Im more take a bullet than leave a bullet though. So we either get through it like south korea and hungary or I eventually fall one way or another. But yeah I don't get people able to live day to day business as usual.

How I feel is irrelevant, but thank you for protesting. Getting out there regularly is important and may encourage others to join you.

I believe we will all get through this, the question is how much unjust suffering and death needs to happen first.

Ukraine did a thing iirc that lead to them being a massive resistance to Russia.
