GOP is using rhetoric proven to succeed at grabbing power

The first 10 tweets of a 30-tweet thread:


Speaking of Orban, this from HuffingtonPost in late July 2022:

Zsuzsa Hegedüs, "a longtime advisor to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban[,] resigned on Tuesday, calling one of his recent speeches “a pure Nazi text worthy of Goebbels” in reference to Joseph Goebbels, Germany’s minister of propaganda under Adolf Hitler.

Speaking in Romania on Saturday [July 23, 2022], Orban called on Europeans to “not become peoples of mixed-race.”

Orban also denounced a proposal by the European Commission for countries to voluntarily cut their natural gas consumption by 15% in case Russia limits gas supplies to Europe. European energy ministers have since agreed to the proposal.

“I do not see how it will be enforced – although, as I understand it, the past shows us German know-how on that,” Orban said, in an apparent reference to the gas chambers used by the Nazis to kill Jewish people and others.

Hegedüs, who is Jewish, announced her resignation soon after.
