The author has some nice ideas, but I think he misses the main point: Orbán had decades to build his echo chamber. He had his own Qanon by 1994, he started to build his own media empire in 2000. He was a young man back then, Trump is already over 70. He simply will not have time to implement these changes.
He wont control the media cause cultural war is neccessary for oligarchs in US
Zuckers recent speech suggests that Trump will also control US based social media.

The EU has stood by for decades and watched Orban set up an effective dictatorship. It’s one of the Union’s biggest failures and one it seems uniquely unwilling to address…

Sort of glossing over this point. The Media is already there. They treated him like a serious candidate, fawned over the guy constantly. Free airtime and constant attention.
The second time around, they “sanewashed” the guy. Pretending that mad ramblings had “considerations” or that trump “mulled” some policy. When watching the actual clips referred, the guy’s brain leaked out his ears.
The guy even squeezed $15.000.000 out of ABC by suing them. For saying something *true* and confirmed in court. Namely, he’s a rapist.
Neither the fascist core in the US nor Trump need bother with a heavy hand. The media is busy creaming their rear as it is.
or how the BJP controls the press in India.
Leading by example!
Did everyone forget that Trump was like…already in power, and with greater majorities of congress, for four years? And if anything, he reinvigorated opposition media establishments like CNN/MSNBC & NYT/WaPo.
What’s interesting to me is that Trump was just…incompetent more than anything. Maybe he wants to be a dictator, but he’s made it clear he can barely govern, much less turn the US into Hungary.
Yall need to look at Serbia, not Hungary
