My father-in-law (1906-86) lived in Berlin until he made it to America in early 1939. According to Hans in the 1920s people laughed at Hitler as an uncouth small time politician who would go nowhere. In the early '30s they laughed at him as a Chancellor whose big dreams would come to nothing. Then they stopped laughing. Is America in its Weimar Republic stage? Only if we let it be.

Orban used the pandemic to grab more power. He made sure there were curfews and a two person limit for gatherings. The Hungarian blogger I read said that was how he quashed any demonstrations. He also forced the medical workers to sign contracts and stay on the job. His covid numbers were and are BAD. He is a psychopath, so it's no wonder Trump would enjoy his visit. Birds of a feather... The EU is disgusting for not stepping-up to "charge" him under their system.

The Republicans' actions concerning the vote are on PBS, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN every night. Then there are the hundreds of on-line sources that keep hammering them as well. It's proof they are worried just like Thom and us. If the cockroaches reach the point where they can mess with the Constitution, at least they will have to do it in the daylight.
