    Oh, I’m sorry, I must have missed where Orban blew up innocent people on international water and then straight up kidnapped a president? Or where he openly and publicly threatened to invade and overtake another EU country’s territory? Or when he organized a secret police that is killing the citizens in broad daylight?

    Not defending piece of shit Orban, but comparing Trump to him is ridiculous and a cope on your part.

      I wasn’t trying to equate the degree of their misdeeds. I was trying to illustrate that political change takes time and a lot of willpower and was pointing to recent examples of other long-term efforts.

      If you do want to play that game, which is kind of pointless, let me ask about when Europeans are going stop just letting migrants drown in the Mediterranean?

      But I don’t blame all Europeans. I don’t blame all the French, Italians, Maltese, and Greeks. That’s counterproductive and not how we fix these problems. I know there’s a lot of people in those countries trying hard to help save the lives of migrants. Shouting “cope” at people isn’t going to accomplish anything.

        What are you even on about. What is anyone supposed to do about people choosing to cross a sea in a pontoon…? It’s not like we’re drone-striking them on those boats - that’s you guys.
