UJM, Orban is absolutely a strongman in a country steadily transitioning from Democracy to Autocracy. Orban just won in an election where playing field was completely slanted and the opposition was severely handicapped. It’s undeniable at this point that Hungary is no longer a full democracy and that Orban/ Fidesz are a hybrid regime in the gray area between democratic and full authoritarian. I could go through all the reasons but it would take me too long and it’s probably just a waste since i doubt you really care about the reality of the situation. If you actually care, you might want to read the (non-partisan) Hungary reports from Freedom House dot org.

It’s disturbing that you would would cheer on a very sad and unfortunate collapse of a once promising democratic country. At the same time you seem to be proving my (non-original) theory that the Republicans would be very willing to accept a strongman/dictator/autocrat if he was seen as fighting for their team interests and against the Democrat opposition.
