Orbán's Hungary drove a top university campus into exile. JD Vance said it should be a model for the U.S.
“The closest conservatives have ever gotten to successfully dealing with the left-wing domination of universities is Viktor Orbán’s approach in Hungary,” Vance said in 2024.

Trump: "See that nice drape? When that comes down right now you see a very very deep hole, but in about a year and half you're gonna see a very very beautiful building. In fact, it looks so nice I think I'll leave it and save money on the doors. I believe it will be the most beautiful ballroom."

When the Supreme Court blesses the Trump administration’s disregard for the law while maintaining the appearance that the law still applies, it enables a "dual state." As @pemalevy.bsky.social writes, the "dual state" framework is how dictators exercise power while life appears mostly ordinary.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
