Ph.D. Liberal. Pro-democracy and human rights. Freedom without accountability is freeDUMB and an excuse for abuse. Strong social support systems and a sense of community promote equity and are guardrails to fascism. Living in 🇨🇦 capitol.

Orban made grand appeals to “Christianity” and “Western Civilization,” but his “illiberal democracy” was just a scam, a way to make him and his buddies rich while subjecting Hungarians to stagnation and robbing them of their freedom. Sound familiar? (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Orbán rode to power on resentment over the economic stagnation that developed under center-left governments. But he leaves office with Hungarians facing falling wages and higher inflation than similar countries are experiencing. Orbán’s sectarianism and intolerance have sparked neither a religious revival nor a fertility bump; Hungary’s population is shrinking and has become more irreligious, even as Orbán has demonized LGBTQ people, “Muslim invaders,” and Jews. Orbánism, in short, did not make Hungarians more rich, Christian, or free—unless you happened to be one of Orbán’s buddies, in which case you may have gotten rich. As most Hungarians felt their economic circumstances worsen, Orbán provided them with relatively powerless targets to hate.

A decisive shift in global power. Experts confirm Iran's IRGC completely dictates the flow of international shipping from Larak Island. They enforce strict no-move zones, leaving the Trump administration powerless to protect Western tankers. Total strategic defeat. So much winning 🤬🍊🐔💩

Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free. That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program. Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

Trump has always been an election denier. He has always vilified voting. He has always started with lies, escalated to the courts, and ultimately embraced violent rhetoric.
