I have yet to see a piece in a prominent MAGA outlet that seeks to understand what motivated No Kings protesters. It’s all just “they were paid” or “they have TDS.” Meanwhile, the Tea Party inspired an avalanche of think pieces and books from centrists and leftists trying to figure it out.

Many on the right see Viktor Orbán’s Hungary as a model. In fact, it is a cautionary tale of unrestrained executive power and crony capitalism.
Mind-boggling story by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social on the surreal fever-dream that is the Hungarian election campaign. A dystopian laboratory of far-right brainwashing.

Hungary’s Viktor Orbán is waging cognitive warfare on a new scale.
"All this time Putin had, and still has, a mole in all European and NATO official meetings. If the integrity of these meetings is to be maintained, it would be appropriate to ban Hungary from all of them. Every generation has a Kim Philby”
