Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.
She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

It's not just a coup.
It's a coup being executed by white supremacists and Christofascists.
And Darren Beattie isn't merely some new minor functionary—he's been given what's considered one of the ten most powerful jobs at Foggy Bottom.
He wants us to abandon Ukraine to Russia and Taiwan to China.
