The Magyar government is telling us, on the one hand, Hungary is running an 8% budget deficit and massive cuts are coming and, on the other hand, they are undertaking the biggest rail project in Hungarian history. Unserious clown government with authoritarian tendencies. 🇭🇺 #Hungary #BudgetDeficit #Authoritarianism #HU
This is the intro to the new FT piece on the collapse of Hungary’s constitutional order under the authoritarian Magyar regime. The authoritarian-liberal paper operating out of authoritarian-liberal London celebrates actions usually associated with military occupation. 🇭🇺 https://t.co/Da0lps8ev3 #Hungary #Authoritarianism #ConstitutionalCrisis #HU #GB
Hungary has descended into an authoritarian clownocracy. It really is sad and very undignified. I doubt the Hungarians will put up with this embarrassing circus for long. 🇭🇺 #Hungary #Authoritarianism #Clownocracy #HU

The protest in Budapest against the Magyar government’s almost cartoonish authoritarianism was pretty enormous. The guy has only been in office a few weeks. 🇭🇺 https://t.co/g9UpB4uzMr #BudapestProtest #Authoritarianism #Hungary #HU
The protests against the authoritarian government in Budapest are growing. The constitutional order is under attack. When Hungarians turn on TV the main channels are blocked. People are starting to compare the current situation to communism. The protests will expand fast. 🇭🇺 #BudapestProtests #Hungary #Authoritarianism #HU
The restriction of VPNs, which are one of the ways you can access the world wide web even if your government tries to stop you, is the hallmark of authoritarian regimes like China, Russia and Iran. U.K. is now on course to join them. #VPN #Censorship #Authoritarianism #CN #RU #IR #GB
Democrats are facing the same kind of pressure that Republicans confronted with MAGA’s hostile takeover: first to ignore their allies’ authoritarian goals, then to rationalize and eventually justify them. GOP has long since passed the point of no return https://t.co/1YhkiqFzGh #Democrats #Authoritarianism #GOP #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
The most brutal form of liberal authoritarianism has arrived in Hungary.

Aspiring autocrats and authoritarians often seek to marginalize not just the law but also courts. Perhaps US Supreme Court has maneuvered in hopes of avoiding it.

A worldwide trend. The ability to execute cruelty against out-groups (like immigrants, minorities, or political rivals) brings euphoria and a shared sense of shared identity among the followers of the would-be strongman, as detailed by @AdamSerwer #Authoritarianism #Populism #SocietalDivision #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

Minneapolis proved that resistance movements should not be evaluated by the number of people they bring to the streets.
