Or people’s reasonable concerns were ignored and they were called a bunch of racists.
Half of the support for dudes like Orban and Trump come from people getting sick of being called garbage by their supposed intellectual betters. It’s out of spite.

No doubt, there were lots of factors that led to his election. You were being descriptive—I get it.
But people who choose autocratic or authoritarian governments, or destructive policies don’t then get to blame others (e.g., their opposing party) for their choices. It’s not even that I disagree with doing that; I can’t understand it. I can understand having to choose between ■■■■■■ options, but it’s still my responsibility.

God they’re the worst honestly.
In actuality, whites are the only ones who get criticized for it.
Hegemony.

Yeah … but it’s the left’s fault that they are Fascist is a pretty weird argument to make.
Had the left listened to people’s concerns those Orban like people would have never had a chance at the ballot box.

It’s not “the left’s” job to keep “the people” from becoming fascists.
If “the people’s concerns” are best reponded to by fascism, the problem lies with “the people’s concerns,” not the “leftists” who have chosen to not validate them.
If “the people” want fascism, ■■■■ “the people.” Those people are the bad guys.

They didn’t ask for fascism initially.
They asked for controlled immigration.
Cause ya know Syrians.
Then guys like Orban rode that into office and started being real facistas. Cause that’s how that works. They always come in on legitimate concerns. Then bam next thing you know you got secret police.
What the ■■■■ does that mean?
You’re looking at it through the wrong frame. Hungary doesn’t remember not having “secret police.” No one was tricked.
The left is responsible for the fascists.
Sorry man… doesn’t track.
They didn’t want a ton of Syrians in their collective backyards.
I’m saying they could have not rolled out the welcome mat for a reaction.
