Protest-non-voters won’t believe this one simple trick.

“Whatever’s normal.”
If I were to Americanize it: This is essentially if Ted Cruz, or better yet Chris Christie, beat Donald Trump in the general election. Undeniably a good thing as it’d mean no more Trump and it’s kinda humilating for him.
But it means… yeah. One of them at the helm.
It’s beyond me that any modern democracy would even allow someone be PM/President for 16 years in the first place, and then allow them to run again. For all that’s fucked with America rn, that one they’ve done right (for now).
Germany has had several chancellors in office for 16 years.
Oh boy does that headline have nothing to do with the article. The article does a good job of explaining all the hard work Magyar did, but it is a bit silly to suggest that it is a temple for what could be done in Russia. For example, it does not lay out how a candidate can avoid all the tripping hazard windowsills that litter the Russian halls of power.

I wonder if there will be much improvement for the LGBTQ community there.
But at least the Ukrainian payments stalemate is broken.
Does he mean fascism?
like dominos
Is Liberalism good?

Thanks for the recommendation; I’ve opened the audiobook in my YT window, so I’ll eventually give it a listen (~4-5 hours is quite a chunk of time, and I don’t want to run it as background noise - give it an actually fair shake, you know).
liberalism must be defeated, international proletariat must rise up against this sick ideology.
Wild headline and no I’m not reading the Atlantic.
Who won the election and what are his politics?
If the Atlantic is praising him, you already know what is his politics.
So, a polite fascist
A
conservative“centrist”.
