Conservatives want to make the US more like Hungary. A terrifying thought

[BidenPresident]

Long a safe space where conservatives could say what they really thought, this year the Conservative Political Action Conference (Cpac) is hosting an event in Budapest, its first ever on the European continent.

Attendees will be treated to panels about “western civilization under attack” and be addressed by American conservative luminaries including the former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows and media figures like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. That Hungary has become an authoritarian state whose leader, Viktor Orbán, has deconstructed Hungarian democracy and become a close ally of Vladimir Putin doesn’t seem to faze anyone involved. In fact, it’s the whole point.

Trump shares CPAC Hungary platform with notorious racist and antisemite

Hungarian talkshow host who has called Jews ‘stinking excrement’ and Roma ‘animals’ addresses rightwing conference

A notorious Hungarian racist who has called Jews “stinking excrement”, referred to Roma as “animals” and used racial epithets to describe Black people, was a featured speaker at a major gathering of US Republicans in Budapest.

Zsolt Bayer took the stage at the second day of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Hungary, a convention that also featured speeches from Donald Trump, Fox News host Tucker Carlson, and Trump’s former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows.

The last featured speaker of the conference was Jack Posobiec, a far-right US blogger who has used antisemitic symbols and promoted the fabricated “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory smearing prominent Democrats as pedophiles.

Why do you type things like 'Conservatives do this' or 'Conservatives want that'?
When you know perfectly well - if you are sane - that most Republicans and most Democrats are decent people who just want a decent life?
And not ALL Republicans are ANYTHING like you (and others) are saying.
And many Reps do it too on here.

It is a blatantly, inflammatory title.
All you (and others) are doing is deliberately trying to stir up shit.
Thus...trolling.

Why do you type things like 'Conservatives do this' or 'Conservatives want that'

It is a text from the Guardian, why there is a link to the article.

No one missed you, you stupid troll.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Orbánism, with its rejection of democracy and its willingness to use coercion to enforce a narrow cultural and religious agenda, defines the danger posed by modern American conservatism. The danger is greatest when the two elements come together. Unable to win the approval of the people on whom they wish to force their values, conservatives will be tempted to proceed further and further down an undemocratic path. That path has already taken them all the way to Budapest. The fear now is that they will ultimately bring Budapest back to America.

Orbán has been elected 4 times. He defends Hungarian culture and won't let migrants settle there.
His people love him
