Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán has taken control of the national media, discriminated against minorities and expanded cronyism. And he’s won a big, big fan in Fox’s Tucker Carlson. It’s almost as if the U.S. right wing is looking for ways to dismantle democracy:

The fanboying over dictators from folks on the right is really quite something. They scream about freedom while worshipping dictators.

Thank you for this. Jesus christ on a cracker. Every wannabe dictator in the world just follows trumpian guidelines.
Almost? Tucker Carlson’s admiration for Orban is of a piece with with his infatuation with Putin. It’s shared not only by other Faux News hosts, but by millions of GOP voters who’d have loved to see the 1/6 insurrection succeed and are now focused on finishing the job next time.

Hungary's loss of democracy and assault on the rule of law under Orbán are celebrated by the American far-right, and Tucker Carlson will use his time in Hungary & his media platform to sell autocracy to Fox viewers. ⚠️ Yes, it can happen here. Autocracy never benefits the people

“Is this the future conservatives really want for America?” Yes! We do! It is a great and lovely country. He says ethnonationalism like it’s a bad thing when he supports Palestinian nationalism regularly.

Very disturbing! I'm surprised Tucker Carlson didn't take Trump with him.

It’s all about #WhiteSupremacy. I keep saying it over and over, yes, but it needs to be said. #MorningJoe

#momsforliberty listen to this and Tucker. You’ve been duped and continue to be. It’s all right out of the Hitler playbook. Step by step.
“It’s almost as if the U.S. right wing is looking for ways to dismantle democracy” Narrator: They are.
I hope @comcast & @Xfinity are proud of their STAR! we will not forget their silence #unfoxmycablebox
