Hi. In today's episode, we look at how Hungary turned swiftly from a representative democracy into Viktor Orbán's autocratic regime, and how it is absolutely not at all in any way similar to what is currently happening in the United States. Except for, like, all the specific details. Note: At one point, we refer to pre-WWI Hungary as an "Austrian-run place," but Hungary was part of the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary at this time.
