In March 2024, Donald Trump Hover Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Urban in Mar Lago. After years of receipt to praise and Pilgrimage from The American rightThe tyranny began They appear in conservative events In the United States instead of visiting the White House to see the president at the time Joe BidenUrban spoke at the Heritage Foundation – the conservative research tank behind the 2025 project – before heading to Florida. “He is a controversial figure,” Trump He said a crowd In Mar Lago when Urban arrives, “because he says,” This is the way you will be, and this is the end. Isn’t it? He is the president.
Trump loves it.
Eurban Hungarian system It is often distinguished As modern tyranny or a “hybrid system of electoral tyranny”, and it is the one in which power accumulates by the ruling party over time through the creative semi -judicial means. Focus on converting institutions by changing election laws, and allowing him to create legislative supernatural wages with victory just a large number of voting. He mobilized the courts with loyalists, found the friendly few to buy independent media and assume universities – or forced them to close. He knocks on cultural war issues from immigration, nationalism and family values.
Observers have seen these methods as a way to perpetuate Eternal soft, It was smoothly without the violence used by authoritarian governments traditionally to suppress the opposition and unify the authority. The right-wing intellectuals seemed to see that this is a kind of respected fascism-without all the acknowledgment of the twentieth century that is associated with the term.
But people around Trump have certainly examined Urban’s methods, and they seem to have persuaded Trump to import the Hungarian model of the United States
I doubt that Donald Trump studied Urban’s strategy. Nothing is studying. Since his dictatorial mood is naturally, most of his agenda is naturally independent. But people around Trump have certainly examined Urban’s methods, and they seem to have persuaded Trump to import the Hungarian model of the United States
Over the past five months, the Trump administration has moved quickly, using “shock and dread” to amaze the opposition and the most as much as possible of its agenda, as quickly as possible. As a political scientist Peter Krico NPR said“I think Trump went further in two months from Urban in 15 years. In the United States, he reminds me of a constitutional coup, where everything happens very quickly.”
The American right knows that Trump did not get this type of time, and it is quite possible that as soon as he left, the Maga Alliance will collapse. It is, after all, like the personality of personality as much as it is a political movement.
For his part, Trump appears to have no interest in “soft tyranny” or just marginalizing his opposition. We have heard certificate Of the people during his first term, they had to talk to him from the shooting of the demonstrators and the deployment of the army in the streets of American cities. This time it is around it, Stephen MillerThe architect of the deportation plan Draconian found the administration a way to allow Trump to be Trump – to use the huge police authority in, and sometimes he spent him to force him to oppose his knees.
Trump has effectively converting the ICE and Customs Enforcement Agency into a secret police force People are kidnapped outside the streets It takes them to unknown places, including at least one foreign black site prison. These kidnappings were targeted in areas run by the opponents of the political president and depends on public confrontation tactics designed to produce a violent reaction in order to justify Treasu American cities. If this is not enough to clarify his point of view, Trump, this week, is publishing a military parade in the streets of Washington.
This week, the American lawyer (the personal lawyer and his former assistant) in New Jersey I was directed to the members of Congress sitting Because of the “law enforcement” when she was trying to conduct oversight at the Immigration Detention Center. Yesterday, he was one of the top Senator in California, Alex Badilla, to treatI pushed a face on the ground and handcuffed to try to ask the Minister of Internal Security Christie sleep to a question during a press conference that follows Declaration of chilling That the federal government It will not remove National Guard and Marine Corps from Los Angeles.
“We will not go far,” said sleep. “We remain here to liberate the city from the socialists and the exhausting leadership that this ruler has set and that this mayor was on the country and they did not try to include them in the city.”
Nayyim interpretation of the logic challenge repression. Although Badilla announces who he is, and despite the fact that Nayywan had witnessed before the Senate Committee, she claimed that no one knows who he and believed that she was threatened. Republican members of the Congress, as well as right -wing media figures and members of the administration, moved to Nayyem’s parrot.
Home President Mike Johnson actually Call to blame Padilla While the Republican Senate leader John Thun He said he was “collecting information.” Senator Susan Collins found him “annoying” Lisa Morafsky said from Alaska “Shock at every level.” Badilla MSNBC told that two other Republican colleagues had written for him, but they did not speak publicly. A few other Republican colleagues They owe it Being inappropriate.
“If this is the way this administration responds to a Senate member with a question, you can only imagine what they do for agricultural workers, to chefs, to the final workers.”
It is clear that what is happening in Los Angeles – and now, in the rest of the country – is not related to the protests. It is simply not related to migration and mass deportation. This will be terrible enough. Now, the opposition members – the elected democratic politicians are brought in due to the heel, were arrested and rough. The administration was very effective in dumping the region, and we became anesthetic to its threats and violence, to the extent that we apparently moved from this fact: the President of the United States publicly Arrest Governor Gavin New Zoom.
This is not Victor Urban modern tyranny, all clean and shiny. It is worse: a good fascism than the twentieth century, as it was dirty.
