This is certainly something to watch out for.

Not only if Trump got forbid gets back in the White House, but if any Republican does,

that there's just going to be this little network of servants.

We've seen how it worked out in our court system.

It's a porant.

We've seen how Trump and the Republicans have designed this system where they can rewrite

the laws, appoint their own judges, even their own juries to some extent, to the use

tactics of intimidation and threats of violence to control the jury as well.

Then there's no punishment for any of it.

It's gone on now for so long that I think people are used to it.

And honestly, that's the thing that reminds me most of Hungary is that the shock of all of

these tactics has truly faded and people have come to expect them.

And I was in Hungary in 2017, about a year after the election, but after Orban had been

somewhat firmly established and was already purging academia, journalism, and the political

system, and packing it with his lackeys.

And I remember talking to Hungarian intellectuals there, some of whom were crying because they

had worked so hard to try to make Hungary a better place, and especially to shed some of

the worst elements of its communist past of that state surveillance apparatus that denied

people basic freedoms, only to have this happen, you know, under the guise of hyper-nationalism

under Orban.

And then the longer it goes on, the harder it is to turn back.

And that is why I keep insisting to people like, do not make excuses for anyone.
