I was listening to a podcast the other day about the populist movement in Hungary under Orban. It looks like a democracy, but it's only a "movie set" for one. The panelists were worried that the US is going to have the same script and plot lines, if it doesn't already.

Geez...you can’t even read the headline without a pay wall. Democracy dies behind pay walls. Tax all political contributions and expenses at the highest rates imposed by government on any activity.
