Orban tells CPAC conservatives in Europe, U.S. must align "troops" for 2024 votes

Source: Reuters

BUDAPEST, May 19 (Reuters) - Conservatives in Europe and the United States must fight together to "reconquer" institutions in Washington and Brussels from liberals who threaten Western civilisation ahead of votes in 2024, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Thursday.

Nationalist Orban said the next U.S. presidential election, when Donald Trump suggests he may seek a second term in the White House, and the vote for the European Parliament would make that a vital year. read more . . .

AND IT FUCKING WORKS on millions. Damn people are stupid, and angry, and the flames of violence are being fanned. Must be like Germany circa 1937?

EVERY advance in the past millenium to better human lives has been through LIBERAL ideas!!

Unless, of course, your ideas of a better life include smallpox, serfdom, and stupidity.

They're not even trying to hide their collusion with Putin any more.

Plus this way they can completely control what media gets out.

I'm... a little bit scared of what they're planning.

And they'll have Fox News and Sinclair to cheerlead their every move. Orban is just a preview of what they want.

And wow, he's full on "this is war" batshit crazy:

"Progressive liberals, neo-Marxists dazed by the woke dream, people financed by George Soros and promoters of open societies ... want to annihilate the Western way of life that you and us love so much," Orban told the conference.

"We must coordinate the movement of our troops as we face a big test, 2024 will be a decisive year," he said.

...Soros ( = Jew), "woke", "reconquer the West", "Christian civilization", etc. He's still kicking out the old jams that are deader than disco. I'm surprised he didn't use any of the 4Chan Pepe memes, e.g. "remember what (((they))) took from you" and "reject (((degeneracy))), embrace tradition".

What's new is that Orban is now unapologetically hostile to "open societies". That is a direct attack on Soros, who founded the Open Society Foundation. It is also an attack on the "Western way of life" for which he claims reverence. Apparently Orban would have us return to the bad old days of the Iron Curtain, as long as he could be the one in charge.

Orban needs to mind his own fucking business. Liberals aren't the threat to Western Civ...regressive reactionaries like him and the Freedumb fuckers at CPAC are. Fascist asshats.

They rule their countries with an 'I have the power and sucks to be you' attitude. Assplugs like him hate countries like Finland and Denmark because they are livable. Why do you think they battle it out (figuratively) for happiest country every year. Hungary will never get close as long as they keep electing shitpiles like him. Maybe he should change the name of his country to East Alabama or Hungassippi or Florigary.

and I am paraphrasing, ...."that I should go into my bedroom and have an accident with my gun".

I laughed.

I urge you all to learn how to safely handle, load and discharge a round in a straight line.

When they come, I am not going. I will take care of, at minimum, two nazis. Hopefully more.

I would rather die than give these two-bit, buy-bull beatin', theocratic fascist pukes ANY authority over me. It's been a good life. Served in the Navy for 6 years. I have witnessed a black man being elected...TWICE. I got to see most of our country (minus MS and AL intentionally), got to visit Mexico, Canada, Dominican Republic and Scotland. Going to Italy later this year. I witnessed marijuana beginning the process of legalization. I witnessed the rights of our gay brothers and sisters being recognized.

These ignorant MF'ers mean what they say. It is a global movement. January 6th was a practice run.

Just prepare for the worst my fellow Democrats. BUT, continue to pursue happiness and find joy where it dwells for you. That is all.
