    The very fact the Dems won in an election is a demonstration that they weren’t battling fascists yet.

    Liberal’s inability to recognise fascism until after the fact is part of the reason why liberals are so ineffective in the face of it.

        This you?

        You don’t believe Hungary was battling fascism by virtue of them being defeated in an election.

        Could you expand a little on why you believe Hungary, having an election, shows Liberals efficacy against fascism? While also believing that Dems, winning an election, shows they weren’t battling fascism yet.

        The won after 16 years of corrupt rule. Hardly a shining example.

        That remains to be seen. First, a conservative defeated Orban, not someone liberal let alone progressive. But until Orban is in a jail cell, it remains to be seen whether the new guys actually intend to battle fascism. Or will they declare “it’s time to move on” and let the fascists off the hook, thus ensuring they have another chance at it?
