Most everyone that follows politics knows how much Trump admires the mini dictator of Hungary, Orban….he has even envisioned what would be nice for the US under his dynamic leadership…..let’s call it Hungaryfication by trump…..
This is an article I recently bookmarked for further review….
Regularly, Donald Trump is presented as a fascistic leader. Yet, he has no Italian-style Blackshirts roaming the streets and no Hitler-style SA or SS beating up opponents. Nor are there people rounded up and put in concentration camps or being tortured in a Pinochet-style football station.
There will be no Auschwitz in the USA. And, there weren’t even political assassinations under Trump’s first presidency (2017-2021) even though Trump’s far right presidency ended with a coup d‘état like storming of Capitol Hill which resulted in five deaths.
Perhaps, today’s fascism no longer comes in goose-steps. In fact, it may not come at all. Beyond all that, Donald Trump also lacks virtually all key ingredients of fascism.
Still, what Donald Trump might create is an even more sinister version of an anti-democratic far right populist regime.
Instead of outright fascism, Donald Trump is more likely to follow the rule book of Hungarian semi-dictator Viktor Orbán and his far right Fidesz party. Orbán’s right-wing populism created an autocratic and illiberal regime in which democracy became merely a facade.
Outward, it appears as if Hungary is still a democracy. Hungary has formal elections. Meanwhile, inwardly it shows all elements of a far right dictatorship in which democracy’s separation of powers – as outlined by Montesquieu – no longer exists and elections are downgraded to a manipulated process to certify Orbán’s authoritarian rule.
In short, Hungary’s parliament has been reduced to an appendage of Orbán’s right-wing populist party. Meanwhile, the previously independent judiciary and the legal system are under control of Orbán’s far right state.
Yet, there is more. Hungary’s crypto-democratic framework is concocted in such a way that it gives an awe-inspiring advantage to Orbán’s right-wing Fidesz party. In other words, democracy takes place but Orbán’s system ensures that his party wins
The Hungaryfication of the USA
Change is coming…..and change will not be for the betterment of the nation….in my opinion.
All we can do is when we smell shit then say something.
I will do my part…..will you?
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
I watched the statement live. What Trump said was that “he wished he could be a dictator for one day” implying to get around red tape of congress and get reform rolling immediately. He did not say “I AM GOING TO BE A DICTATOR”. But naturally the dems and fake news have been railing oncming Trump Nazi Reich. Seems you have fallen for their tripe too. In the first place it is impossible for any president to become a dictator in USA. Actually both parties have been calling a president a dictator like Hitler (bith parties sinned ) sicne FDR. You can even google for pics of all recent president wearing a Hitler uniform.
You are not disturb by anyone that wants to be a dictator even for day? chuq
I’m sure he said it in tongue in cheek but yes, if someone was granted a dictatorship for a day that would be dangerous, you are right, and I don’t support the idea. But what about all the “Trump wants to be a dictator with media and Dem leaders with the accompanying Nazi and Hitler suggestions ? They did same thing saying he said for people to drink bleach. I watched it live. As a man was demonstrating bleach as a germ/virus killer and Trump replied in words to effect ” wouldn’t it be great if it was as simple for people to get cured of the China virus drinking a little bleach” (not actual quote). That’s a far cry from a drinking bleach proposal. Remember Sharpton’s “Romney like’s to fire peope” and Harry Reed’s “Romney doesn’t pay taxes”?
My point is if a “Dem” had said that it would still be a thing on FOX….it is a game that idiots play. chuq
And seems t6hat you will overlook anything that is reported and look for some bias….I wrote about what I read….I may agree with it but it was a report. Because someone else has done it does not make it right. chuq
I do wish both sides would stop the games. They seem to be immune to the fact that everyday Americans are drowing in economic difficulties. I cringe when I hear leaders of both sides say “the American people this…” and “the American people that…” as they have no idea of any of the rice and beans life people endure.
Carl these guys are paid to play….so sad and truly pathetic. chuq
Orban is upsetting the EU with his far-right policies and his support of Putin. I could imagine a time when Hungary gets kicked out of the EU, though politics in Germany are turning to the far-right again.
Best wishes, Pete.
Orban needs to be replaced by someone who wants what is best for Hungary. chuq
I never forget that the Hungarians fought on the wrong side in both world wars, chuq. It’s in their dna to be far-right.
I had forgotten about that…..I see your point……chuq
I want to comment on something you wrote—–“Regularly, Donald Trump is presented as a fascistic leader. Yet, he has no Italian-style Blackshirts roaming the streets and no Hitler-style SA or SS beating up opponents. Nor are there people rounded up and put in concentration camps or being tortured in a Pinochet-style football station.

The comment I wish to make is “There are none of these things at this time but they have a full four years now to do whatever they want to do because of the SCROTUM immunity ruling and each of the things you have mentioned are entirely possible with the proper manipulations and propaganda method.
I do not doubt the possibility….or the desire. chuq
Thanx John much appreciated….chuq
Now we are smelling it– in days to come we may be forced to eat it.
Like politics…hold your nose. chuq
