We The People should gather in numbers like this!
Let this be a warning to us.
The Hungarian people are currently living the hell that we are headed towards under 🟠,❌and Vance. We have time to prevent fascism.
Yes, this is a key and important component of multi-pronged resistance. Even if the media are not paying much attention, organizing and the alternative media are working, and people will notice.
Oh. I thought we were making plans for tRump... I think he should be spread eagled on the WH lawn with a burning candle wick in his navel. It should take about 3 days to burn all that lard & afterwards we can put his head on a pike outside the DOJ! Start the signups; wanna be 1st?! 😁❣️
Yes, people rise up, we, all as human beings, trying to just make a living for our families, deserve better, these big men, are destroying decent people's lives
Orban needs to invoke Article 5. He won't do that, he'll welcome russian tanks instead. But he's out of lack because there is Ukraine between russia and Hungary.
Dems won't let that happen. Trump will make them and their elite donors too much money and give those elites too much power. So dems and msm will do everything they can to kp the masses docile. Many libs will go along with it and Cons won't do anything as long as others suffer more than them
Imma guess u meant "can't" lol. No worries if that's the case 💯.
An ur right. No politician has to tell ppl to or not to. It doesn't really matter. Dems stand to greatly benefit off trump succeeding, more than failing. And that's my point. Stop trusting those who chose genocide over stopping this
Yes I meant "can't". I'm pretty fed up with the 'both parties are the same' nonsense TBH....I don't think people get how much it influences those not inclined to vote to....not vote. Now we're going to have to dig ourselves out from who knows how many years of damage.
This is too broad! We need to unite in the DC capital like in 2017. I was there! Too many stayed in comfy beds, and in their comfy states. I was on a bus all night and could not sleep. I walked 10 miles that day to protest and then had to take another bus home all night 38 hours no sleep!
I'm so glad you were there. I was on Boston Common that day with 175,000 other women, girls, men and boys. No way I could physically go to DC. We can make a huge difference nationwide too. Spring is here. We are waking up. We can do this!
We are almost russian colony. The whole network from our ministry of foreign affairs is full with russian spies. They gave golden visa to russian, Chinese spies even to arab terrorist (Gaith Faraon was also on FBI-s wanted list)
It will at least scare the shit out of the Project 2025 people, and probably, in the short run, cause more repression here. Nonetheless, we need to gather in huge, huge numbers to protest the current US regime.
Just am thinking until the Repubs in Congress see thousands of us standing in the streets of D.C. shouting for our freedom from the Trump/Musk regime, they
are too smug and too Christian Nationalist to be concerned.
Or martial law in advance of us getting ideas bc Krasnov is as paranoid as putín. I'd say at least then we'd know where we are, but foreshadowing, ✓. Would someone please cue & swell the triumphant underdogs music to introduce the denouement segment of this script. Or Denmark invade, so it lasts. 😂
The moment is not right in USA - yet. The cultists need to feel the pain of Trump for a while. Most still don't get it. Wait until he is a figure of universal ridicule. That will ensure as much as possible there is no blood spilt.
I agree too many are not feeling the pain yet. It is surely coming. Not enough jails for all who don’t agree with this sham of a government for the people, not for Trump and his followets
They’ve done this many times . Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be working . A reminder . Dictators are very hard to remove and people die and pain is inflicted on those that work to overcome them .
important to note that people already are and it is having effects already. the administration is saying that theyll arrest protesters to scare us yet the opposition continues to grow larger. we need to remember the moment we tell ourselves we've lost is the moment we actually lose
If only there was a deep state Antifa group within the government planning at this very moment the arrests of high members of the Republican party, including Congressman and Judges, who have committed crimes against the Constitution.
Oh so cowardly burry your head in the sand and just accept this fascist oppression?? Nah I prefer to fight standing up for what is right no matter how long it may take for change.
I’m glad I don’t follow you . I never said the protests are worthless just that they don’t appear to be working . I was being factual. They are in fact not working to date but I in fact support them and anyone who protests . That wasn’t my point . Protesting and overthrowing is hard . Period.
Thomas Edison reportedly failed 2,774 times while trying to invent a commercially viable light bulb. His persistence ultimately led to the successful development of a bulb that could burn for over 1,200 hours.
"And when asked about it, he said 'I didn't fail; I found out 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb,' but he only needed one way to make it work."

Not our first rodeo. Took us centuries to get rid of the Ottomans. The protests this year have a much different tone than the ones in 2023. Anyone who has been watching since then knows they are evolving and becoming more serious. We know how to get rid of him, just psyching up for it
In Portugal we had a bloodless revolution, after 48 years under a dictatorial rule, more than ten thousand soldiers dead in a pointless war and countless political extra judicial killings.
I guess the lesson is, don't let them take the power or be ready to pay the price.
I wouldn’t say All. There are still some monarchies that control power . To me they are the same as Dictators though arguably some of these aren’t tyrants to their people .
Yes but generally these have some level of competency and realpolitik understanding and aren’t raging delusional narcissists. Or they were groomed from birth etc. Hitler and Mussolini fell in part because of the war but largely and more significantly from their own hubris.
Yes, but societies don’t just “see a u turn.” People MAKE a u turn. We’ve got to make it happen here, people. History is no consolation if no one’s doing the work.
Indeed, always has been. 🙏 No one was ever coming to save America, except Americans themselves - if they can muster it. So far, protests have been weak, weak, weak.
Fantastic lecture, worth the hour, so worth it. Play it on a speaker while you stretch. Your body will absorb the wisdom. Meritocracy needs to be reimagined in America, we can do better!
It all comes down to wealth inequality, which has also ballooned about of control in the last 25 years. Even in a democracy money is power, the common people have less and the elite few have more. The rich always try and use their power to impose minority rule which must be undemocratic.
We need to unite the common people of the US.. to demand taxing the rich not the working class.. we support them financially to be rich..
Without us they have nothing!! We have to make this the unifying factor.. we can’t let them divide us as left or right points of view.. we are people first!!
Extremely underrated post! It's mostly this. ⬆️ The uber wealthy have so much control and they're influencing government policy that's harming average working folks. Add to anti-trust laws being gutted or just ignored internationally and the power dynamic is crushing people. It's the oligarchy. 👏👏
Inequality. A few individuals have unconscionably & immorally acquired the wealth of nations.This is very dangerous for everyone else. Autocrats mimic a feeling of stability in unstable times for regular people. It's the opposite, but some people seem to fall for it.
It’s pretty obvious to me. As a species, we have a pretty good “danger sense” - and right now, the entire world is in peril due to our own actions. When we feel threatened, we skew towards behaving more conservatively - it’s a biological function.
Historically we have much more experience with kingdoms and autocracy than democracy. People had been finding autocrat rule much more stable, albeit ruthless. I agree it’s a natural flow of our species. We have a lot more work towards achieving greater social responsibility and ownership of actions.
The problem is, the solution to the troubles we’ve created require a far more progressive response than what we are inclined to make when we feel cornered and threatened. All we are doing is stepping closer towards conflict. Our survival instinct isn’t nuanced enough for this.
Yes, more than just seeking autocracies, people seem to "flip" when they feel the status quo isn't working for them. I'm always asking, what are people so afraid of? Especially the rich because they are the ones driving this.
This doesn't make much sense. The world was prosperous and relatively peaceful before 2016. Trump and other forces arose because of bigotry. They felt threatened by non-white immigrants, LBGTQ, and a Black President, in the case of the USA. Yes, it's a human trait. But it's not a response to danger.
I don’t mean to belittle you at all, but it would be absolutely misrepresentative of human history to believe that we were on a steady, upward trajectory until just 9 years ago, or to place the blame on Trump. The climate crisis is not nine years old. Human slavery is not nine years old.
We have become lazy and selfish. Someone else will sort out the problem for us and if that someone else will also deal to the people we don’t like we’ll put up with losing a few freedoms.
We are neither more lazy nor more selfish than we’ve ever been. How we HAVE changed is that we now have access to incredible quantities of information, so much so that we’ve lost our ability to differentiate fact from lie. This is a big reason Putin has maintained his grip on the Russian people.
Read your article.. I had that type of childhood that spun me towards authoritarianism.. but I learned to overcome it after a couple "bad relationships" in early adulthood. I think (hope) everyone is capable of such growth, when that "authority" shows how distructive and undeserving they are.
My guess is that too many have fallen behind economically. The middle class is shrinking. The gap between the rich and the not-so-rich is only increasing. Finally you tend to vote for populists - who in fact have an autocratic agenda.
What he doesn't address is that this goes BOTH ways. You can flip it and ask why is it when we get to the extreme right, do we revolt? He doesn't address a solution to be found in any middle ground.
We get stucked to our phones. according to how we are raised, our personalities and our friends and paragons, we read and react, find the sites we like and drink information from there. And gather. Not with the ones around us, we dont let them in. We shrinkens our minds. Many people love easy talk.
Disinformation and and autocrats working together to help each other cheat and lie. They repeat each other's lies and propaganda. They lie about their successes and they get away with it.
Yes, well this CLOWN should know how this has all happened. It's his returdlickers, fake conservative party that slow walked the USA to this Nazi excrement extravaganza!
Well, I am not sure if a war loss would have forced Putin out of power. That's a KGB mafia state with a very tight grip. He would probably only be replaced with someone even more extreme/brutal.
Maybe but Russia's economy is currently on the brink and Russia is in trouble if things continue as they have been for the last 3 years. Trump is giving them a lifeline right now.
But when a dictator is removed, it doesn't end well for them. Orban, Putin, Trump and their crony fascist friends are all trying to stop ending up strung up, pissed on and spat at like Mussolini or sodomized with a bayonet like Gaddafi.
Those who play stupid games always win stupid prizes.
They DID and Polish activists did their best to warn the world by sharing how the fascists tried to take over.
The US is on the brink. The last piece is the judiciary. They have captured SCOTUS, but until recently, have been abiding by the rulings of relevant courts. That's likely going to change.⬇️
U can protest all u want. Doesn't matter if u then obediently pay your taxes.
Or if u use money those in power can print.
Then they don't even care if u pay taxes or not.
Only if people use money that no one can print, and has to be collected via taxes, can people hold those in power accountable
Because the major news outlets are now owned by MAGA billionaires or bullied by Trump. Like in Bernie’s 2016 campaign social media will have to fill the void.
And Bernie was winning in the polls over Trump in the heartland and in the Bible belt in some places so he was deservedly entitled to media coverage. He had an edge because they liked decent honest guys in those parts. If the primaries hadn’t been hacked, Bernie would have been President.
Harris was winning over Trump when she took over from Biden too. As it turns out the people running GOP campaigns are very smart. They run attack ads on the front runner and never breath a negative word about their most successful challenger. Why Ann Coulter was so nice to Clinton in 2008.
I followed the election in ‘15-16 and everyone supporting Bernie was annoyed how the major news outlets were ignoring him. Smaller news agencies were talking about this too. Towards the last couple months when his rallies had become massive, then he finally received mainstream coverage.
They were furious about Bernie getting virtually no media coverage. But when you actually measure the media coverage he got quite a bit of it. When you talk to Trump supporters they are furious that illegal immigrants commit violent crime at such a high rate, but when you measure they commit less.
This is exactly what's missing in the US. Not "hundreds" of " protesters" standing with signs at the curb hoping for passing cars to hunk. Where are the huge masses of angry and scared Americans taking to the streets demanding their democracy and law and order back? Where?!
There were a lot of protesters at the veterans rally yesterday. There is one a Fox “news” today and one at The Heritage Foundation tomorrow. I was there (very long drive) and drove back home today. People even came from the Wesr Coast.
Orban helped Heritage Foundation write Project 2025 at their request. They needed a blueprint to follow. Heritage needs tirn down along with Felon tRump, Vance and Elon.
A lot more of us have to become sick and tired of this regime if we are to protest in the streets in numbers large enough to make a difference. I hope that will happen soon because it needs to otherwise it'll be decades before we get our democracy back.
It took them awhile. Orban, who advises trump and the anti-American CPAC, has been deconstructing their democracy for some time. I hope Americans don’t let it get that far in the US.
And still, he has been in power for 15 years. Hungarians are not as strong as you might think. We had demonstrations bigger than this, and nothing changed. He can do anything and he does... :/ That's why we tend to flee the country.
I stopped believing in ideology behind media and power too long ago.
It's mere opportunism or self-preservation.
Ideologies are for the masses and the stupids, ideals are for the good at heart and naive.
Trump loves Orban. Orban went to maralago several times when trump was just a candidate. I think trump is using his playbook 'how to turn a democracy into fascism in sixty days or less'
As soon as I saw that Orbán flew to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago I knew that he was picking his brain for tips on how he turned Hungary into an authoritarian state. It's probably one of the only times Trump took notes.
That would be Hitler that destroyed democracy under 60 days but that detail is irrelevant. The playbook is project 2025. DJT couldn't have pulled this off without Vought and the other contributors who are now serving in Washington. Carefully planned for 20+ years.
Sadly things have been bad in Hungary for a while, we haven't turned fascist this month 😔 Fidesz has been the ruling party for 12 years and they have steadily eroded democracy in that time. Now they feel the noose tightening as the ppl are waking up and opposition is getting stronger.
We democrats from Slovakia hold our fingers crossed for our Hungarian freedom loving friends. My guess is worst is yet to come. These regimes are not upended easily.
Stephen Harper the former Conservative Prime Minister of Canada has met with them there. That is why I am firmly against Polievre, and his Reform in sheep‘s clothing, party
WTF does that mean? Just accept this is the way things will be and hide under the bed? How about instead we make this realistic which is probably the only way we’re getting out of this.
A couple of nights like last night and Republicans won’t just impeach and remove him they’ll hang him also. Any Republican who won their seat by 15 points or less in November are now having angina attacks. If people stop getting social security checks they’ll be five million marching in Washington.
Dream on, that won’t happen! Don’t be naive. The GOP is not a party anymore but a propaganda machine, and many democrats seem to comply.
The only thing that will help is the power of the people, but you need to hurry because they intend to crack down on (mass) protests.
Yeah it will. We have to make them more afraid of us than their base. And that comes from immense increasing pressure. Trump’s poll numbers are already dropping and there are already growing protests. An inflection point will be if they go after social security.
I hope you can reach the people that are affected first and the most by the awful and callous measures by the despicable Musk and make them aware of what is happening exactly. Many of those people are struggling to simply reach the end of the month. They have no energy left for proper info...
There is probably a greater chance of forcing some Rs to call for impeachment then there is of that bloviating pig turd just resigning.
But MILLIONS in the streets would be the minimum needed to have any impact, and Americans are just too complacent to get off their couches until it is too late.
I keep having to explain this, it's not complacency. It's ppl already barely being able to survive with 2 or 3 jobs. It's that millions of people would just be fired if they didn't show up to work for a day. Can't afford an unpaid day off. We literally can't because it's that or losing everything.
We all gonna lose EVERYTHING if he isn't removed from office.
And yes, you raise a valid consideration, but it's also complacency. Tens of Millions didn't even bother to vote when there was early voting, mail in ballots, and only a small percentage work a shift with no chance to get to the polls.
That’s the plan. The American people need to get out there in the millions and change things now. Isn’t the USA the land of the free and the home of the brave after all? Let’s fucking gooooooo!!!!!!
A general strike. When the real power in this country, the oligarchs, start losing millions of dollars a day, they can get very persuasive very quickly. An ultimatum to congressional Republicans, coupled with the promise of a full pardon to Trump at both federal & state levels could make it happen.
Don't know if you know, but apparently very few of us have been calling / emailing our reps & senators demanding impeachment. This is a great time to do it.
Call for EVERYONE to impeach him. Threaten their political careers, boycott all of their partners, and do it while UNITED. Only buy local, too. I cannot stress this enough - you need to organize all together and help each other regardless of any label that was forced on you to divide you.
As long as you're demanding miracles from the void: I hope you're also [now or soon going to be] involved in your community!
A country isn't strong without strong villages.
If we couldn't even get enough Republicans to vote in favor of conviction for a literal Act of treason with the insurrection, we're never going to get a conviction in the Senate on anything for a president who was impeached. The Republicans who had a spine have been forced out of their careers.
people are too scared to do so, but the groundwork is being laid. what we need is a spark, a starting gun to get people out and protesting in even greater numbers than right now.
I say we march demanding Democrats grow some balls and call for Chuck Schumers’ resignation and the others who signed off on the CR. Also the democrats that voted to censor Al Green. We need to scare our party to stop rolling over and waiving the moral high ground flag in my opinion.
Good! Opposition against Orbán is growing larger - he’s been in power for years. He’s taken over all the institutions that Trump is now trying to. The Heritage Foundation head even said they were using Orbán’s playbook.
But - We need to force Congress to impeach Trump; he’ll never resign on his own.
Trump will never resign if he isn't forced out. They more or less had to kick him out of the oval office last time around. Like Moldyteeth said, only realistic way to shorten the disaster is to get enough GOP legislators to snap out of their warped reality. To get that, people will show it first.
This is beautiful... that smoke is nasty, though...old European buildings probably have dozens of lead paint coats on their walls. black smoke is never safe...
We have a minimum of 3 people that MUST be removed: Trump, Elon, & Vance. I read people there are helping eachother with places to stay, etc for those traveling a long way to the protest. We need resources like that if we have any hope of getting so many together in our own capitol. Travel costs.
As the resistance builds the veil of deception will fall and Republican voting citizens will join us and only the very few culted MAGA will remain. We will win! But we have to unite and stay strong.
Bring on good trouble only. Decent. Protest. Boycott. Call congresspersons.
U can protest all u want. But as long as u pay taxes, those in power don't care at all. They laugh at u as morons, walking around shouting.
And as long as u use money those in power can print. They don't truly even care if u pay taxes. They can just print if they need money for their men with guns
Robespierre on King Louie XVI being found guilty "Yes, the death penalty is an unjustifiable crime, except in cases protecting the safety of society. With regret, I pronounce this fatal truth. The King must die so that France may live." After the king's death the crowd chanted "Viva la Republique!"
There are many protests already happening, just gotta show up! Every Saturday from 12-2 at any local Tesla facility and/or state capitol buildings, people will be there.
These people are heros. Nobody wants to live in a world of peasants and Kings. People all over the world are waking up to the depravity of the Musks of the world.
Not heroes, just fed up. By the way, the remaining kings and queens today are on the civilised side because they know better from their own family history.
Incredible!! Let this be our inspiration in fighting against the current evils taking place in America. Can you imagine every street in America filled like this. They would have no choice but to leave.
And trump is trying to do the same thing thru fear tactics and threats along with Pam idiot Bondi. Fascism only wins though fear. America we must fight like this.
Tomorrow is the social media blackout. Delete your facebook, instagram, threads and X accounts. Why keep supporting those who don't give a f**k about us. Hit them where it hurts, their pockets.They rely on ad revenue, and acct volume Let's get Meta's stock low like Tesla

Get her! She likes to threaten people with fear too. Like she said, anybody goes near a Tesla dealership or do damage to a Tesla vehicle should be very mindful and careful. Hello you idiot lady, we have the right to protest peacefully and we'll still continue to protest peacefully. FOH!
Who knows... It could've been to help fascists globally and the growing transnational crime syndicate. Their director, Michael Abramowitz was also fired, this is his take:
Its was Hungary's national day - but demonstrations against Orban have been increasing in Budapest since last year (failing economy, rising inflation, child abuse cover-up story) - and next year there are the parliamentary elections.
And not a word about this or the Serbian protests on nbcnews dot com or cnn dot com (CNN covers the Serbian but not Hungarian protests on its World page)
Corporate News that’s why! Lame Stream Media is bought and paid for by corporations and billionaires who don’t want we the people to know what is actually truthful and what they are doing!
Exactly because in Georgia people refused to resort to violence when needed. Same in Belarus.
Dicktators do not go away when asked nicely. You need to wrench their seat from their hands.
Because far too many people in the US have an "It can't happen here" mentality that stems from the myth of American Exceptionalism. Those of us who saw what has been building for decades were called alarmists. More people are coming to their senses and acknowledging what's happening.
Alright, we have government apps to make paperwork easier. For some reason, there was a russian tracking code in the authentication process you have to use to get in. His friendship with the russians, his partiality towards them. The russian gas propagation instead of alternative sources. Small
stuff that points to russian meddling. And that points to him having putin's dainty fingers up his arse. Orban is a russian puppet, who bought the elections.
There's a joke party (MKKP) that tracks government shady business. Lot of paper shuffling going on. There are stories, you just need to listen
Also, the party Orban belongs to goes to the impoverished parts of the country, gives out food (1 sack of potatoes) to the poeople there and thells them where to put the 'x' on the ballot. They do the same in the assisted living facilities. It's evil.
Oh, it seems you're right:
"The first part of the video shows Knez Mihailova Street in Belgrade, Serbia — which is where massive protests against Serbia’s president are occurring — and then cuts at the end to a street-level shot of a much smaller political rally in Budapest."
Yeah, I see reports of the Serbian protest. That's happening, which is great.
The flags at the end of this video are Hungarian. But I still can't find any media report that it's legit. Could be an old video, maybe?
Budapest was outnumbered in recent elections. They didn't vote for him. He's long singled them out and their colleges.
I allowed myself to visit the city a few years ago even though I objected to Orban after I saw the city opposed him. It was the only place in Hungary I went to.
They protest quite regularly from what I have seen. A lot easier when your capitol is also the biggest city that holds nearly 1/5 of the entire population
Trump is following Orban's plan for ending liberal democracy. All the media was attacked by Orban's government with BS lawsuits etc. until their company values plummeted at which point his friends bought all of the media - tv, print, radio - and it's now all pro-Orban media
In one recent election Orban's rival was given just 5 minutes of time on television at like 8am on a Tuesday in order to fulfill his legal right to being given airtime as a candidate...While Orban is promoted endlessly by all this same media 24/7 and given as much air time as he wants.
Please don't help make excuses for Americans not to protest. Hungary is also not 330M people with huge urban centers across the country. Americans make enough excuses not to do the hard and dangerous work of fighting back to stay apathetic and disconnected.
Americans are protesting. The capitol is near that green triangle on the right. The largest population centers outside of the Boston-Philadelphia-New York City area live thousands of miles away in California, Texas, and Florida.
They're protesting in numbers *not even close* to what is needed to actually affect change. This denial is part of the issue.
And, they don't have to be the 2 green areas you pointed to. More than ½ the nation has at least 1 city with at least a ¼ of a million people. Even 20k is a big protest.
No, I am surprised to see the protests against PM Orban because Corporate Media here does not cover the protests outside of USA. That’s why I never heard of PM Orban. Unbelievable.
If you don’t know who Orbán the dictator is, that’s on you. Today, AP covered his crackdown on free speech. No excuses—stay informed. I recommend Ground News to track global events. Orbán’s tactics are a blueprint for the Fat Fascist, and I posted about it today. Pay attention, please.
There is no credible evidence that Israel supported Bashar al-Assad. In fact, Israel viewed Assad as an ally of Iran and Hezbollah—its main regional adversaries. Israel's actions focused on countering Iranian influence in Syria, not backing Assad. The claim of Israeli support for Assad is a lie.
The Syrian Civil War (since 2011) saw rebels backed by the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, while Assad was supported by Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah. The war involved multiple factions, including ISIS and Kurdish forces. Russia’s 2015 intervention helped Assad regain control.
it only took the most odious version of humanity turning the most willfully uninformed, illiterate & lied to electorate on the planet into magat-zombies lusting after all that is deranged & horrifying to spur the entire planet into action against this, the most stupid form of control ever unleashed.
Nah, Americans are complacent and roll over and submit to anything these days. Used to be that union busting got your kneecaps busted, now it's Bezos' favorite hobby and nobody's even saying a word back.
I was just about to type this. Yet we still seem to think that laying down or compromising with these people would be better for political optics. We've bipartisan'ed our way into this mess over the years, trying to make nice with people who want us dead.
We are too spread out. Most can't afford to travel to the central places where protests are happening. So local protests appear small simply because of the size of the country.
That's 5 million just in DC. If that was achievable there it would surely reach 3.5% nationally. I had to look up your reference, that being Chenoweth study for nonviolent social movement success is 3.5% (for others curious).
I'm not sure it would stay nonviolent. Trump has a habit of asking for protestors to be shot. I found out Rome had a protest of Iraq war of 3 million and India 15 million at a funeral. It's possible.
In Budapest they are protesting Orban now demanding resignation. To demand that of Trump will need 5 million, a number that simply overwhelms armed resistance, police or army.
Ya, ok, reading comprehension fail on my part. (5M *in* DC). And you're right - there's no guarantee that everyone would play by the "non-violent" rules.
What's 3% logic? Look everything the right says had echoes on the left. It's a mirror created by their own false projections. Trump complains about a weaponizing justice system and lawfare. Those sound pretty bad! But then he comes to power and he fires all the people who worked on his cases..
he lists the names of people who should be prosecuted. He bans law firms from practicing in federal buildings bc they represented people he didn't like. He pardons convicted felons who attacked police for him but threatens to arrest people who protest Tesla. It's a world turned upside down. ..
Amazing. What an inspiration. Dictatorships don't last and this one won't either. We have typically had a higher standard of living than many countries and it does not take much for us to get uncomfortable, and we get angry...(You won't like us when we get angry). It's coming.
Elon will not be living in America forever, no way he’s gonna spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder. Someone somewhere will take him in and shelter his ass.
Too bad y'all can't get angry when kids are murdered at school. Americans are lazy and stupid. Just a few minutes of comparing the policies of Kamala Harris and Trump with show who was the better candidate.
Of course I get angry about that. I don't like our gun policies and I homeschool my grandson because of it. I'm in a deep red state so, it's prime for that behavior. I also don't want him brainwashed and indoctrinated with religion And republicanism.
The Orban government has changed over the years from a christian-democrat party (aligned with Angela Merkel) to an extremist right-wing party (aligned with Donald Trump).
But of course what makes people move is the failing economy and rising inflation
We literally have a Trump clone in power for almost 2 decades, the only thing people should learn from Hungary is to NEVER be like Hungary. Even after our PM resigns there's practically nothing left from the country as they destroyed all public services & privatized everything...
A significant portion of the population is uneducated and living in poverty, therefore easily misled with propaganda. A lot of poor people don't even know any other parties... The eastern side of the country is straight up like a third world one. Only the western side is somewhat livable.
Orban is part of the problem not just the problem itself. Many people have opened their eyes, but many are still blind. There are many of us who are trying to do something, but it is not easy. If you are interested in the topic, do not consider the primary media as a reliable source.
That is sad to hear. I worked in your country for a time while it was still in Soviet control - beautiful land and good people. I was so hopeful for the future, until Orban. I will hope still for a bright future after he is gone. 🙏🙏
Orban is the fruiting body of the mold that grows in our soul. He's a manifestation of all the unresolved sickness that plagues the nation. He's there, because we have a lot of hate and he spins it into a political message. I along with many, hate him, but more has to be done. We need to heal.
Ungarn war damals das westliche aller Länder des Ostblocks. Ich war letztes Jahr sehr überrascht, als mir ein Kollege nach einer Reise erzählt hat, dass er Rumänien ganz toll fand und Ungarn schrecklich. Wie sehr sich die Dinge verdreht haben. Welchen Schaden Orban in seinem Land angerichtet hat!
What about United States ? Are tens of millions of their citizens uneducated. When hatred cover people's eyes, their intelligence only serve to spin the truth..
Yep... Trump never hid how much he admired Orban and his grip on Hungaria. The thing is that most MAGA never heard about Orban. They just brushed this strange friendship off like they did with every disturbing fact displayed in plain sight.
They didn't vote for that knowing what was to come. No one has a crystal ball. But MAGA voters couldn't spot a lier extraordinaire and voted for this, too. They just didn't believe Project 2025 was what Trump was really promising until now. And they called Dems "lemmings!"
Really? I literally have hear none of this. Do you have a starting reference where I can read about this? Which newspaper or other outlet that discusses this.
Belgrade is in very big uproar as well.
I suggest, downloading some European tv channels . They provide you with a lot of current info , right from the source.
A country in shambles, as always with dictators. That has to build back up, like many after the Second World War . It is possible. With the help of other countries. I wish you all a better future!
Keep fighting Hungarian friends! We saw during the Arab Spring that one country leading the way and standing up for what is right (Tunisia in 2011) can have a massive ripple effect in the fight for justice!
Perhaps this is the beginning of the democratic spring! ✊
Elected leaders have sought to demolish bureaucratic administrative states in favor of rule by loyalists. India’s Narendra Modi, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, and Trump himself are examples of elected patrimonial leaders.

Smart people! too bad Americans whom aided-abetted a dTrump47 & his minion Admn. not only ignorant,also willfully ignorant of US & World History. EuAsians do not forget easily their History,they forced to learn there is no savior but in themselves & together they
2. can topple any gov.,group,man who attempts to revoke,suppress,repress their ‘inalienable Truths’ bc its those inalienable Truths that a Nation &its citizens’ prosper. No man or gov. can take away what is created & given by The
3. Creator. Americans,albeit young cf to EuAsian Nations,are forced to remember & learn frm the consequences of their stupid decision. God help man live & learn through his stupidity.
Seeing this is so powerful! Yet we get reminded by scenes like this, is that the ONLY reason tRump started the "sides war" was to cause so much hate & divide against one another so that we couldn't come together like this against them! Because being united against him would terrify him to his core!
We ARE✨️🗽🇺🇲 see if we were to PUT ALL the PEOPLE that are protesting across this WONDERFUL COUNTRY we would appear like that. America 🇺🇸 is spread out into 50 separate states. We need to keep it local and bring communities back together
Please stop. Yes they need to be removed but by ELECTIONS we are not at the Orban stages yet. First win full Congressional Control in 2026. Then impeachment is on the table With Proof! You sound like Trump “lock them up” We are not them.
Tampaboy is correct. The authoritarian takeover is happening. There is a legal path to removal and it has already started. Congress will follow the people if they want to stay in Congress It's done by every person in this country that wants to live in a democracy finding their power.
Waiting for 3 1/2 more years for our next general election might be too late. I wish we could wait until our next election—-but Trump is going full-bore against American democracy right now.
Only 1yr 10m buddy. Stay strong 💪🏻 & ready 4action. 2026 massive congressional win, hopefully. Congress has substantial power, when they use it. Overwhelming win in 2026 will crush MAGA. It happens IF we let Trusk continue to Break things. We have to run on REAL Harm done, not fearful predictions.
This is true, Legal paths first! (BORING!) If The People jump the gun, Donald WILL call for Martial Law. Weak, pathetic “Men” like Donald always itch for any reason to swing the Saber. What’s going on in Hungary is a LAST RESORT!
Yes boring and frustrating but necessary for now. It’s not even 2 months! Let the manipulated voters that believed the alternative facts & ignored our warnings suffer with us. Then and only then will the fever break and action will be needed
There is a large protest planned for April 5th!! Join in and become a part of it! (meanwhile there are local gatherings and protests weekly all over the country!!)
Spread it around the US wherever you can. You know we Americans are pretty clueless about the rest of the world. We need to learn how this is done. We're starting, but encourage it to build.
Americans are waiting for the courts. I believe when the DOJ start disobeying Federal judges orders to appear, obey subpoenas & to enforce the courts warrants; or the Supreme Court seem to be protecting Trump's & Elon's unlawful actions, there will be more protests. Americans are in disbelief now.
This is already becoming apparent here. There have already been subpoenas to Musk to come before Congress for questioning and each time the republicans table it. There are also a few rulings that Trump has ignored so far. We are on the brink.
Personally I believe disbelief will remain the rule until people are adversely personally affected. A great many are just not paying attention … and/or are mired in disinformation.
America is a sleeping giant. The day she awakens from her slumber, these troglodytic asswipes would wish they hadn’t opened the Pandora’s box. Our protests will make the one in Budapest look like child’s play. America has a history of defeating King George of England. The Orange buffoon is toast.
Majority of Americans voted for trump knowingly and with conviction.
I don't see how they'll come back from this for now. A few demonstrations by the minority won't solve that. Still it could be a start...
? More than half of those who bothered to vote, voted for Trump. The remainder obviously didn't think there's much difference between Democrats and Republicans of today. So I would think your above statement is subjective.
If people vote freely to abolish democracy, there isn't much to be saved...
Trump support is not the majority regardless of other support or lack thereof. Another issue is that Trump didn’t legally win. His Nazi computer hacker managed to hand him the swing states.If votes are tossed away,the results aren’t accurate,therefore rendering your assessment incorrect.
77.3 million voted for Trump, 75 million voted for Harris and 89 million did not vote. The majority of Americans did not vote for Trump, the majority of Americans did not vote at all.But the majority of people are going be negatively impacted by what Trump is doing, or know someone who is impacted
Let's hope so. The majority of Russians is negatively impacted, but they still love Putin (sort of)...
So how did those 164 million not see what's coming? Everything has been in plain sight since 2016, or 1980 if you want...
You can tell I'm a bit of a pessimist about the human condition... Sorry 😬

It is the same as the truism shared by people that have actually had to deal with fascism:
It will never be easier to fight fascism than it is right now.
A sure way to fail is to stop trying.

They want you to give up.
I guess the lesson is, don't let them take the power or be ready to pay the price.
We didn't even have the pleasure to see the panic in his face.
Serb students marched from Beograd to Niş to protest corruption.
Young people are fucking angry. Unions are angry. Everyone has one person to direct that anger at: Their Russian puppet leader.
It is up to us.
I would rephrase all nations fall therefore all dictators fall.
Joseph Stalin, killed millions. Died in his bed at the age of 73.
People die, yes, but that is not a dictator falling. History shows dictators only fall if somebody knocks them down.
It is up to us.
— Frederick Douglass
The Kim-Il-Sung dynasty has been power for nearly 80 years and doesn't look like it will fall any time soon.

But the answer is easy
Inequality
Time to dispossess the plutocrats
Without us they have nothing!! We have to make this the unifying factor.. we can’t let them divide us as left or right points of view.. we are people first!!
Our reduced empathy will cause us all problems.
and a lack of education.

The US is on the brink. The last piece is the judiciary. They have captured SCOTUS, but until recently, have been abiding by the rulings of relevant courts. That's likely going to change.⬇️

Trust me, I'm living in this hell, I see how nothing seems to change.
It's mere opportunism or self-preservation.

Trump is dismantling The Constitution.
We need at least 1 million marching on Washington D.C.
The only thing that will help is the power of the people, but you need to hurry because they intend to crack down on (mass) protests.
But MILLIONS in the streets would be the minimum needed to have any impact, and Americans are just too complacent to get off their couches until it is too late.
And yes, you raise a valid consideration, but it's also complacency. Tens of Millions didn't even bother to vote when there was early voting, mail in ballots, and only a small percentage work a shift with no chance to get to the polls.

"The first part of the video shows Knez Mihailova Street in Belgrade, Serbia — which is where massive protests against Serbia’s president are occurring — and then cuts at the end to a street-level shot of a much smaller political rally in Budapest."
The flags at the end of this video are Hungarian. But I still can't find any media report that it's legit. Could be an old video, maybe?
Maybe the evil of Trump and Putin are getting Hungarians to take a closer look at his buddy Orban, so encouraging them to fight back harder.
(Let's hope Americans can take some lessons from this and start fighting harder too.)
I’m surprised to see Hungarians protesting. I hope this will encourage everyone here in USA to do same thing.
I allowed myself to visit the city a few years ago even though I objected to Orban after I saw the city opposed him. It was the only place in Hungary I went to.
There is no doubt Putin likes Orban. Who knows to what an extent they are linked. Putin has "favorites" in Serbia, Moldova, Belarus, Georgia, etc.
If only the votes of Budapest picked the PM of Hungary, it would not be Orban.
And, they don't have to be the 2 green areas you pointed to. More than ½ the nation has at least 1 city with at least a ¼ of a million people. Even 20k is a big protest.
Now I know. Thanks.
