Tucker Carlson, the latest American fascist to lick the arse of Hungary’s autocrat Orban.
Orban’s American admirers [also] include the political philosopher Patrick Deneen, J.D. Vance, the author of “Hillbilly Elegy” who is now running for the Republican Senate nomination in Ohio, and Rod Dreher, a popular conservative blogger and author.
The article discusses the repulsive history of American conservatives who’ve shown their true goals by expressing admiration for fascist regimes.
All of this American coverage is stressing what it says about Carlson that he is hanging out with Orban, but it should also be a cautionary tale for us in Europe that anyone who is as bad as Orban would hang out with Carlson. I think we still underestimate the threat the American right wing pose to our way of life. They are clearly willing to support the worst of us, those that try to destroy the EU and a socially liberal society.
Absolutely. The American right actively funds and supports fascist activists, right-wing political aspirants, and Libertarian think tanks in other OECD countries.
Even in countries where things like single-payer universal health insurance and free or subsidized post-secondary education and secularism are core societal values, no-one should get complacent. There’s a a lot of money and determination backing the export of America’s worst ideologies.
Looks like Soros is still trying to help people in Hungary even after being run off by Orban.
eta The real irony of Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson being in Budapest, is that he wouldn’t be able to exist as a TV/Media government bashing personality in Orban’s Hungary at all.
Of course they were…
Oh, look, these morons are back, excited to super-spread delta. Seems like only a short time ago they were spreading the original strain.
Elected school board votes 4-2 to require masks for people who can’t prove they’ve been vaccinated. Audience cries “dictatorship” and demands a re-vote. Crowd gets so raucous the Board has to adjourn. After Board adjourns, the crowd cries dictatorship and “elects” a new “board” on the spot. County attorney has to explain democracy.
You can tuna fish but you can’t tune… hey, just thought of something, off to the workshop!
Nothing to see here, move along.
Fair enough - but you missed out on the chance to declare Steve Bannon dead and cremate him when he last visited. No one would have questioned it.
We declared his project dead instead.
More on one of the more opportunistic and dangerous sado-populists vying for a seat in Congress.
Eh?
Speaking to the presenter, Trump asked: “Could you imagine if I were president right now and we had this massive attack from the coronavirus?
I don’t have to ‘imagine it;’ you prolapsed asshole - that was our reality only last year.
Hopefully that’s another sign of his further physical deterioration…
If you ask me, he’s still whining about the election. “If I were president right now…”
I know he’s a deeply uninformed and uncurious person, but not being able to bring the word “delta” to mind right now sure sounds demented:
You know they like to call it the, they have new names…
His cranial gland was trying to forge something between China and Delta. It failed.
And yet a thousand years…
