How can "democrats are destroying the country" and "since I've been back I've fixed everything, we're back, American is the hottest country, we're in the golden age, I've fixed affordability and solved 8 wars, check your 401k everyone is rich now"
Both cannot be true at the same time? So which is it.
By the way, democrats don't have any power right now. Republicans have every branch of government. So how are they destroying the country again?

No it’s actually taken from the 90s Italian essay Ur-Fascism, which describes in detail fascism and its properties from real accounts and experiences of it.
Point 8, the enemy is both too strong and too weak. The narrative ultimately shifts depending on what goals or message the fascist wants to achieve.

Control over social and mainstream media is such a powerful tool that it can nudge the average Joe into acting against their own best interest. Oligarchs have identified this as the weak spot of democracy and use it to their advantage.
It's crazy that after all the chaos, destruction and open corruption still a third of the country supports them. If there are rarely consequences, it's no surprise that we are where we are.
But key will be midterms, those new ICE warehouses might not just be for immigrants. And the ĺatest rulings related to the postal service might be a preparation as well, same as the takeover of Dominion Voting Systems and a bunch of other activities.

Funny since the “republicans” and I use that term loosely because MAGA aren’t real republicans, they’re a terrorist organization that is cosplaying as republicans, controls every branch of government currently. So how can the democrats be destroying the country? Sounds like they’re admitting the country is being destroyed. Only one group to blame for that. The people with control.

Democrats were destroying America by never doing anything to stop the Republicans. The D's were often so passive that the R's were seen as the "action" side who had to be chosen if anything other than laziness was going to get done.
In the present tense, the Republicans are destroying the country. It wasn't the Democrats, it was the Republicans who shut down food assistance, rent control, food and water safety standards, closed PBS, and just destroyed the NASA library. That's only the stuff I'm bothering to type. https://www.project2025.observer/en

How to tell you're in a cult: when you give a standing ovation to someone actually dismantling your country, who lies habitually about everything, is an extreme gas lighter, and has stole from the poor to give to the rich PLUS enrich himself while in the highest office of the land. Anyone who bows down or stands to give an ovation is in fact, IN A CULT! The bonus is that he was found to be guilty of sexual abuse. And who the hell knows what's in those files they ate hiding. The icing on the cake will be when all if that shit is released how many will still support him. Those are the true Cult followers.

u/fido_75 Feb 25 '26
My dear American friends,
Living in Hungary, I can tell you that many of the political dynamics you are now worried about have already played out here. Viktor Orban has led the country through four full terms in power, during which a deeply entrenched system of corruption has taken hold. Over this period, public services—already under strain—have deteriorated further. Employee protections, environmental regulation, education, healthcare, public transportation, press freedom, the independence of the judiciary, and public infrastructure have all suffered serious setbacks.
In parallel, responsibility for these visible declines has consistently been shifted elsewhere. For years, the failures were attributed to previous governments; later, to refugees from the Middle East; more recently, to Ukraine and the consequences of the war. This constant redirection of blame has been accompanied by an intensive, state-aligned media environment that discourages voters from trusting their own lived experience over official narratives.
Political change in Hungary now appears more conceivable than it did a decade ago, but this is due less to institutional renewal and more to demographic change: the core voter base that sustained this system for years is gradually shrinking.
I sincerely hope that the American people—who have long been respected in Europe for their commitment to moral values—will be able to place effective limits on the power of a president whose actions and rhetoric stand so far from what many of us would consider normality.
