The GOP appears to be aligning itself with Orban and quietly embracing the nationalism.

6. Why would you 'insert Austria'? The Austro-Hungarian Empire was dissolved December 12, 1918

I mean, you can use "MAGA" (insert Austria) and won't even need new apparel/bling

Basically zero chance atm the Austrians would sign onto this Hungarian madness of Orbán. The Greens are in the ruling Government with ÖVP.

The Nehammer government (German: Bundesregierung Nehammer) was sworn in as 35th Government of Austria on 6 December 2021.

Jörg Haider (who would have perhaps been open to such shite) died in 2008, and his party when he was at his peak (FPÖ, Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs ie The Freedom Party of Austria) is currently in a state of relative weakness, especially after being ensnared in a huge political scandal, The Ibiza Affair (see below)..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Party_of_Austria

Jörg Haider became leader of the party in 1986, after which it began an ideological turn towards right-wing populism. This resulted in a strong surge in electoral support, but also led the SPÖ to break ties, and a splinter in the form of the Liberal Forum in 1993. In the 1999 election, the FPÖ won 26.9% of the vote, becoming the second most popular party, ahead of the ÖVP by around 500 votes. The two parties eventually reached a coalition agreement in which ÖVP retained the office of Chancellor. The FPÖ soon lost most of its popularity, falling to 10% in the 2002 election, but the government was renewed. Internal tensions led Haider and much of the party leadership to leave in 2005, forming the Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ), which replaced the FPÖ as governing partner.

Ibiza affair

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibiza_affair

The Ibiza affair (German: Ibiza-Affäre), also known as Ibiza-gate, was a political scandal in Austria involving Heinz-Christian Strache, the former vice chancellor of Austria and leader of the Freedom Party (FPÖ), and Johann Gudenus, a deputy leader of the Freedom Party.

The scandal was triggered on 17 May 2019 by the publication of a secretly recorded video, which was commissioned by Iranian-born lawyer Ramin Mirfakhrai, of a meeting in Ibiza, Spain in July 2017, which appears to show the then opposition politicians Strache and Gudenus discussing their party's underhanded practices and intentions. In the video, both politicians appeared receptive to proposals by a woman calling herself Alyona Makarova, who was posing as a niece of Russian businessman Igor Makarov, discussing providing the FPÖ with positive news coverage in return for government contracts. Strache and Gudenus also hinted at corrupt political practices involving other wealthy donors to the FPÖ in Europe and elsewhere.

The scandal caused the collapse of the Austrian governing coalition on 18 May 2019 and the announcement of an early election. In a no-confidence vote on 27 May, Sebastian Kurz was voted out of office as Austrian chancellor by Parliament, and on 28 May a caretaker government was appointed. Elections were set for 29 September. In 2020, a partial transcript of the video was published by the public prosecutor's office. In the new material, Strache had refused the decoy's offer and doing anything illegal.
