Hungary loses right to EU aid worth more than €1 billion - Lemmy.World

Hope this will tilt the Hungarian vote even more against autocrat lover Victor Orban.
Spoiler alert: it won’t. If you drive through Hungary (which we sometimes do) you notice anti-EU ads literally everywhere and he also controls the traditional media outlets so the news bias should be off the charts. My guess is that they’ll frame it like Ursula being a bully and withholding what is rightfully theirs because they don’t like the way Orban protects his citizens. Unfortunately…
I’m always surprised that this kind of rhetoric works. If the EU were such a big bully, nothing would stop Hungary from just leaving. Like, at some point you’d have to ask yourself why a supposedly competent and well-meaning leader keeps you in a relarionship with an entity that allegedly only wants the worst for you.
Welp, I’m surprised trump managed to become the president of the USA. Twice. Unfortunately it seems this is how the world works unfortunately.

Why not. From its inception this place was populated by religious fruits, tax dodgers, the desperate and uneducated. Hell, half of the country fought a grizzly war against the other half that the losing half still isn’t over. The losing half started it so that men much like Trump could own other men. The slave owners weren’t the ones doing the fighting, of course, rich men don’t fight wars. They stirred up the poor, unlearned yokels, told them that they were being oppressed and sent them to die and kill, which they did. There’s still folks who claim “the South will rise again”.

Trump is as American as baseball.
