Perhaps Americans are tone deaf but at least Hungary is demonstrating the Europeans recognize the threat of the disastrous authoritarian government. Took them sixteen years but they rid themselves of a dictator. Best birthday gift America can give itself to celebrate 250 years is being rid of Trump and his toadies. Of course we'll still be stuck with the oligarchs but knowing that danger will help us tackle it. See a light at the end of the tunnel? I do, so join the growing numbers of us. History will prove us right, you can count on it.

There really is something grounding about seeing that authoritarian projects are not inevitable or permanent. A lot of people need that reminder right now, and appreciate you naming the hope alongside the hard reality.

Thank you. I hold fast to the thought that we must not allow despair to defeat us. That is what the enemy depends upon, that we lose by default. Protecting humanity is the highest ideal we can foster and history recognizes the virtue of our efforts.
