“...ruled by a right-wing populist” ??

I thought the People rule and the president executes the law and defends the Constitution. I think President Trump believes that too.

This man needs to bone up on his 7th grade Civics and also move past his Marxist mindset but that may be impossible.

Google AI definition:

“Democracy is a form of government where the people hold the power and make decisions, either directly or through elected representatives. The word democracy comes from the Greek words demos, meaning “people”, and kratos, meaning “power”. “

Under our constitutional republic, the people have elected Donald Trump, and support Trump’s reforms. The creepy author of this article is completely wrong!

YUP; that Trump is a tyrant alright. He is going to pack the Supreme Court. Do away with the filibuster. Sic the intelligence community on his political opponents and give amnesty to millions of 3rd world illegals who are dependent on government to make sure they never vote against his interests.

Gábor Scheiring is a Hungarian economist and politician, member of the National Assembly (MP) from Politics Can Be Different (LMP) National List between 2010 and 2014.

Not a Viktor Orbán supporter I assume.

What this dweeb is saying perfectly describes what the left is doing in this country to consolidate power in the hands of a single party through censorship, lawfare, and ensuring that ineligible voters are registered and never challenged when they show up to vote.

“I lived through Orbán’s power grab as a member of Hungary’s parliament.”

Yes, you did live. Does that not get your attention? How many people has Orbán had killed or tortured or unlawfully imprisoned? How many has Trump?

Many believed that after his first term as president, Donald Trump would end up in the dustbin of history.

MANY were wrong! The times they are a-changin'. And you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone, Gabor.

The whole article is a screed to his complete lack of self awareness. All of the things he warns about have been on rocket power under Obama and Biden.

Here are some of those steps.

— Strengthen Executive Power.

— Discipline the judiciary.

— Change Election Processes.

— Control the media. Orbán consolidated media control through centralized propaganda, market pressure and loyal billionaires. [My comment: how many billionaires and how much of the media sings with the DNC's monophony? Get one note out of tune and you are dragged back in line.]

— Secure Control over Party.

Now Trump is back, and the United States is about to be ruled for the second time by a right-wing populist.

Not just an autocrat, but...Hitler! Trump's first administration was the total embodiment of a Nazi regime.

Death camps, incineration of Jews, bellicose saber rattling, and the confiscation of private property. /s

There's no law on the books saying citizens who think they're GOD, have the right to force the rest of us to worship them. We don't have to buy into their delusions. Same with Trans, same with 'open border' idiots, same with 'sniffers' etc.

Liberals don't 'get' this concept. How they 'feel' doesn't make something true.

Isn’t democracy just populism by another name? The political Left should be thrilled at Trump’s election.

Gabor, you are an idiot. Other than your mom, no one cares about your opinion.
