I can see how that seems laughable, but Hungary is turning into a dictatorship exteremly fast.

The scariest thing is that Hungary joined the EU in 2004 but has since a few years turned into a very scary place.

There's a number of countries across the world that are headed in that direction at an alarming rate, and the worst part is, it's happening via democratic processes - a lot of people WANT a dictatorship.

It feels like we are a petri-dish for political experimentation to test what could be scaled up.
