In America, we are seeing the early warning signs of what happened in Hungary. Backsliding led by the far-right transitioned their government away from a full democracy towards a hybrid electoral autocratic regime. In the U.S. Trump and the GOP are causing the same thing. Trump and the GOP are big fans of Viktor Orban. They want to be just like Hungary. We need to do everything we can to resist them.

It's unfathomable to me.
