Who is Viktor Orban’s Paul Manafort?
Yup, as Jeet writes, the sudden surge of commentary on and troll-farm like activity around Hungary doesn’t just stem from the American right’s natural affinity for a bigoted, corrupt autocrat. It’s also about $$$ — and just in time for elections there. jeetheer.substack.com/p/funding-a-cr…
Why are we witnessing an absurd discourse around the idea that Hungary is a better place than the U.S. in the middle of right-wing-junket-to-Hungary season? Who will crack this impenetrable mystery?
And the real upshot is that Orban gets to talk about how many Americans say they wish the U.S. was more like his Hungary.
