    Whatever his interaction is with American politics, I dont think you can blame everything Orban does on Americans. And would it surprise you to know that every fellow American I know hates and mistrusts their government? To be fair, all of the people I spend energy associating with are strongly progressive.

      Sure. He’s got a huge network of domestic supporters who are along for the ride.

      Will you distrust the government when it flips back to Dem control?

      Obama currently has a 90% approval among liberals. It doesn’t seem like they’ve learned anything.

        The dems who spend their entire existence kicking progressives in the face? those dems? I fucking hate them. I hate the republicans 2% more, but I still despise centrist dems and dont trust them as far as I could throw them. You just have to look at Joe Bidens history in congress to see what a weasel shit he always has been, and he is the patron saint of centrists.

        As for Obama, I wanted so much more out of him. His folksy shtick worked for me for a long time, but now he seems like a retired salesman.
