A bunch of our local bigots have been moving to Hungary because the local bigotry appeals to them.

With a bit of luck we can wait till they’re all settled there then burn the bridge behind them.

We get our very own Assholestan in the middle of Europe! Hooray!

It would lead to an even worse shift towards autoritharianism. He would likely bring back death penalty for victimless crimes of all things.

What would be a better help is to destroy the helpers of the Orbán regime in other countries, such as CitizenGo. Any country that lets that theocratic fascist org roam free and not shove its members into prison for atttempts at subverting democracy and human rights should be deeply ashamed of themselves.

Although I agree sentimentally, I would believe that if they leave there is an even smaller chance for them to dig themselves out of this semi-dictatorship.
