MAGA looks to the hybrid-authoritarian regime of Viktor Orban of Hungary as the blueprint for right-wing minoritarian rule in America. They'll achieve their goal unless the majority fights back.
Well the putrid tangerine had Orban visit Mar a lardo many times during 2024. They shouldn't have allowed him to have a dictator in the USA. If he wanted to see him go to Hungary. Yet we have the GOP regime deny that they're fascists. They're gross and evil.
Your interviews are the best! I really enjoyed this- very helpful in understanding this insanity, especially in the context of how these situations have unfolded in other countries. Thank you also for being so damn funny- we need to laugh too!
"Andrew did the Lord's work, because he's a masochist..." LOL, Waj, you can certainly make me laugh, even with the most awful news. Your sense of humor, along with your message, helps me to get through these tough times.
Andrew said, "Call it what you want", and I guess in the end we could argue over the terms dictatorship, autocracy, authoritarian, etc. The bottom line is that this Administration is chipping away, and sometimes just downright breaking off pieces of our democracy. We're not just moving towards authoritarianism, we are running towards it. From where I sit, seeing the loss of these freedoms, the bilking of the poor and middle class, the withdrawing of support from other countries, and the insulting and isolation from our allies, THIS IS NOT WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!
I'm afraid that even if all the Republicans in the country are voted out of office in the next 2-4 years, the damage they have left behind will be almost impossible to repair. None of the well-qualifed people here would ever want to work for the Federal government again, when their entire world/employment/research/etc., can be dismissed overnight. How will that ever be restored?
People should start watching some of the old movies about the rise of Hitler; all Christians whoever they are should watch the documentary about Bonhoeffer. Thanks for this wonderful work.
Great show Waj...I like your work very much...just to let you know...I did not contribute to the racist woman screaming at the black child and though I can't explain the fools willing to pay for such a show of hate, I also saw how thousands of people rejected her. That's how I survive each day...finding those people who are willing to call it out...people like you. Thanks.
So grateful to Waj for all the amazing work he is doing
great, interesting, important conversation - thank you both!

Love how Waj (again) blows past his guest's humble, low-key self-promotion at the end, & lifts him up much higher.
Strangely feel better after episode. Is it a flicker of hope in the Force?

Thoughts of Poland going to the Right! I guess Poland is not afraid of Putin and willing to join in the fray he creates. We have troops there at risk.

Or, for some, I'm keeping my privileged white position
For women, it actually is like HandMaid's tale -- talk to women in TX.
That book you mention sound like all the propaganda films and written materials from the Nazi era...
