Diplomacy. Hungary 🇭🇺. Viktor Orban. @CPAC. EU. NATO. @mschlapp

Viktor Orban was the headliner at @mschlapp and @mercedesschlapp Budapest disgrace. The Schlapp’s are the grinning Joel Osteen and Mrs.of the snarling American Fascist Movement with CPAC

2/ functioning as an idiotic version of the Bund. Orban rallied one group of Americans against another and called for the dismantling of America’s most important institutions and concepts of fairness and liberty to wage war on gay people and others.

3/ Perhaps consideration might be given by @POTUS @StateDept to recall the American Ambassador for consultations about the interference in our affairs by the Pinochet on the Danube.

4/ Historically, Hungary has an appalling relationship with Fascism, Right wing extremism and anti semitism. There was no shortage of Hungarian volunteers for the SS. Hungarians were eager participants alongside Nazi Germans in the execution of some of humanities greatest crimes.

5/ Orban is a wink and nod guy. He is a blood and soil nationalist who seeks to whitewash Hungary’s Fascist crimes from history. He simultaneously dehumanizes, stigmatizes and scapegoats minority populations and persecuted peoples as threats to western civilization who seek to

6/ destroy Hungarian culture. He attacks the Free Press and asserted government control over much of it. He has chilled Academic freedom, Freedom of speech, thought, expression and conscience. He is a leading GLOBAL ideologist of REPLACEMENT Ideology.

7/ REPLACEMENT IDEOLOGY Just killed ten Americans who will never replace the Nazi who killed them. The NAZIS can’t see the humanity behind brown and black skin so they don’t understand those human beings were irreplaceable to their families, friends,
Colleagues, communities and

8/ nation. Political extremism is all around us. @mschlapp is a political extremist and profoundly corrupt both intellectually and financially. His $750k Trump pardon grift is but a singular marker of the routine corruption and outrageousness that flourishes around autocratic

9/ causes. @CPAC is the golden coach for the next iteration of Wayne LaPierre, to whom @mschlapp apprenticed for a long long time. It is the home to AmeriKa’s Fascist New Right and cynical, gilded, Yes Men and Women like Matt Schlapp and @mercedesschlapp.

10/ The Budapest gathering is a major event and political story. It should be treated as such. The American Media should cover this as a major story because of the connective tissue that binds an extremist movement that is deadly, emboldened and growing. It is poised to win.

11/ Disclaimer: ( If you read this and hear anger that is the voice in YOUR head, not my writing. This concept presents some difficulty for many people who think the voice in their head is shouting at them and it is me who is doing the shouting, which I am not. At all) ✌️
