Florida Republicans are attacking Freedom of Speech and First Amendment Rights with laws making it easier to Sue Journalist, Social Media, Bloggers, Banning Books and dictating what can be discussed in classrooms.

 

 

DESANTIS FLORIDA: WHERE FREEDOM GOES TO DIE!

• Dystopian Laws Attacking Freedom of Speech to SILENCE & SUE Critics
• Culture Wars and “Woke” BULLSHIT
• Anti-choice Laws against Women’s Rights
• Laws limiting what can be discussed in classrooms, such as the “Don’t say Gay” law. These laws doesn’t fix any existing problems, they’re a “Solution in Search of a Problem” and unnecessary BIG Government regulations & restrictions which makes teachers jobs more difficult.
• Law mandating public colleges and universities survey students and faculty about their Political Beliefs (FL HB 233)
• Teachers must withhold classroom library books until they can be individually reviewed for certification or face being charged with a third-degree felony if violated. (Bill 1467)
• DeSantis Hostile Takeover of Liberal New College of Florida is following the playbook of Fascist Autocrat Dictator of Hungary Viktor Orban by taking control of Education
• Indoctrinate Educators with Radical Right Wing Ideology. (Per news reports) Encouraged by DeSantis, Christian nationalist values and an “originalist” interpretation of the U.S. Constitution is now being taught in Florida Schools.
• Florida HB 999 Republican plan to restrict the way history is taught at Florida’s colleges and universities is being condemned by academics & historians across the U.S. (Another example of Fascist, Authoritarian policies).
• DeSantis has publicly called for putting cameras and microphones into classrooms to monitor teachers. He wants more surveillance in every part of our lives, empowering legislators to police classrooms, doctor’s offices, the workplace.
• Voting Police to intimidate people so they’re afraid to vote in Florida
• Florida Employees Threatened With Demotions If They Criticize DeSantis
• Bill to eliminate the Democrat Party in the State of Florida, thereby creating One Party Rule similar to how Dictator Victor Orbán took over the once Democratic government in Hungary
• Florida ‘Bloggers Bill’ which would require anyone who writes about Florida Republicans and DeSantis to register with the state and put on an ‘enemies list’. This is another BLATANT violation of the 1st Amendment and attempt to SILENCE critics. This is the same Anti-Democratic, Fascist Authoritarian tactic used by the Nazi German Propaganda Ministry in 1933 called the “Editors Law” and in 2014 by War Criminal Dictator Vladimir Putin, forcing bloggers in Russia to register with the Russian Media office.
• Attacking Freedom of Speech – Bill HB 991 to significantly weaken libel laws. Critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Bill 991 also gives Florida residents the right to sue others (both in the state or elsewhere in the U.S.) who describe their actions online as transphobic or homophobic, for $35,000 and would not allow the truth to be used in defenses against such lawsuits.
• Retaliated against Disney for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech, stripping Disney of 50+ years self-governing authority after Disney stated opposition to the ‘Don’t say Gay’ law which limits discussing LGBTQ issues in schools.
• Right Wing figures installed on the board of former Disney district. This is the same tactics used in Anti-Democratic Fascists Dictatorships
• Retaliated against the Tampa Bay Rays for exercising their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech by blocking state money to their training facility after team tweeted against gun violence
• Florida Police raided the home of former Covid-19 Scientist Rebekah Jones after her data contradicted DeSantis’ Covid Data claims.
• Transgender athlete discrimination Laws
• Florida Senate Bill 254 would allow the state to take Trans children receiving gender-affirming care away from Parents
• Anti-Protesting Laws making protesting a felony & allowing protestors can be run over & killed with no consequences. This law was passed to silence and intimidate anyone who dare protest and raise objections to Republican’s oppression (similar to Russia and North Korea)
• DeSantis wants his own State Militia which would only answer to him and “not be encumbered to the federal government.”
• Felons Victimized by Republicans and DeSantis “Voter Fraud Crackdown”.  Per an article at commondreams.org, “Most who were arrested were approved by the Florida Department of Elections, which sent their voter registration cards ahead of the 2020 elections. All were charged with third-degree felony voter fraud, a crime punishable by as many as five years behind bars and up to a $5,000 fine. The ACLU of Florida stated, “The arrests are a grotesque abuse of power by Gov. DeSantis”.
• Using Migrants as Props. Per an article at theguardian.com, “DeSantis should be prosecuted for his treatment of immigrants. Those conspiring with him appear to have acted criminally under Texas law. Title 5, section 20 of the Texas penal code defines the crime of unlawful restraint. Under the statute, a person is restrained if their movement is restricted without their consent by, among other means, moving the person from one place to another. Restraint is without consent “if it is accompanied … by deception”. Under the statute, the violation is a class A misdemeanor, unless the person restrained is younger than 17, in which case it is a felony. According to reporting, there were children among those criminally transported to Martha’s Vineyard”.
• DeSantis fought for and was given the authority to redraw Congressional districts to rig elections in Republican’s favor. This resulted in House Seats being stolen from Democrats. Another example of how Republicans know they can’t win elections unless they CHEAT because their policies are UNPOPULAR.

 

Florida Republican Proposes Bill To Make It Easier For Ron DeSantis To Sue His Critics

A Republican Representative in the Florida statehouse has put forth legislation that would significantly weaken libel laws, and critics believe this is an attempt to give Ron DeSantis even more power to sue his critics for saying things he doesn’t like. Legal scholars have trashed the bill, pointing out that a state cannot legally have different thresholds than federal legislation, making this bill all the more confusing.

 

A proposed Florida Bill which targets Bloggers who write about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appears to be designed to SILENCE and PUNISH critics.

 

Florida bill would require bloggers who write about governor to register with the state

Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines.

According to the above article; “Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur (R-Lake Mary) wants bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody, and other members of the Florida executive cabinet or legislature to register with the state or face fines. Brodeur’s proposal, Senate Bill 1316: Information Dissemination, would require any blogger writing about government officials to register with the Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics. In the bill, Brodeur wrote that those who write “an article, a story, or a series of stories,” about “the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, a Cabinet officer, or any member of the Legislature,” and receives or will receive payment for doing so, must register with state offices within five days after the publication of an article that mentions an elected state official“.

 

Florida bill would require bloggers who write about governor, legislators to register with the state

A Republican state senator in Florida has introduced a bill that, if passed, would require bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis, his cabinet or state legislators to register with the state.

Per the above article; “The bill defines a blog as “a website or webpage that hosts any blogger and is frequently updated with opinion, commentary, or business content,” but it says the “term does not include the website of a newspaper or other similar publication.” It also doesn’t say weather it applies only to FL or out of state owners So how can “no income” be verified without homes of blog owners being searched for financial records? DeSantis’s office said Friday it was reviewing the bill. “As usual, the governor will consider the merits of a bill in final form if and when it passes the legislature,” said his press secretary, Bryan Griffin.

“Brodeur did not respond to a request for comment late Thursday. He told the website Florida Politics, which first reported on the bill: “Paid bloggers are lobbyists who write instead of talk. They both are professional electioneers. If lobbyists have to register and report, why shouldn’t paid bloggers?” Ron Kuby, a First Amendment lawyer in New York, said the law would not survive a court challenge if it is passed. “It’s hard to imagine a proposal that would be more violative of the First Amendment,” Kuby said. “We don’t register journalists. People who write cannot be forced to register”

PAID BLOGGERS? I’ve never been paid to post an article and I don’t know any bloggers who are paid. Brodeur assuming blogs which are critical of Republicans receives payment shows he’s either a moron or is attempting to intimidate and shut down critics.

 

October 04, 1933 – German Propaganda Ministry Editors Law

The German Propaganda Ministry (through its Reich Press Chamber) assumed control over the Reich Association of the German Press, the guild which regulated entry into the profession. Under the new Editors Law, the association kept registries of “racially pure” editors and journalists, and excluded Jews and those married to Jews from the profession. Propaganda Ministry officials expected editors and journalists, who had to register with the Reich Press Chamber to work in the field, to follow mandates and specific instructions handed down by the ministry. In paragraph 14 of the law, the regime required editors to omit from publication anything “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.” [source: encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/timeline-event/holocaust/1933-1938/editors-law]

 

Putin signs law forcing bloggers to register with Russian media office

The Verge is about technology and how it makes us feel. Founded in 2011, we offer our audience everything from breaking news to reviews to award-winning features and investigations, on our site, in video, and in podcasts.

As stated above… in 2014, Putin signed law forcing bloggers to register with Russian media office.

More proof Florida Republicans following in the footsteps of German and Russian FASCISTS and are DESTROYING Democracy in the United States.

Any attempt to harass or silence this site would be a violation of the site owner’s CIVIL RIGHTS and 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS and will be reported to the United States Department of Justice, exposed on Social Media, Billboards and reported to worldwide news media outlets. If Bill 1316 is signed into law and blog owners are harassed, a Multi-Billion Dollar CLASS ACTION Lawsuit will be filed against the State of Florida on behalf of ALL blog owners affected by Bill 1316.

One of the 1st lawyers I’ll contact if I’m harassed is Ron Kuby, a First Amendment lawyer in New York who said “the law would not survive a court challenge if it is passed. “It’s hard to imagine a proposal that would be more violative of the First Amendment,” Kuby said. “We don’t register journalists. People who write cannot be forced to register”

 

Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State

Critics worry that the state will use the laws to silence critics in the country, which already has severely restricted free speech freedoms.

Per the article above: “Russian Lawmakers Pass Bill to Outlaw Insulting the State” is similar to how DeSantis and Florida Republicans want to silence critics by making it easier to SUE them. This is STILL the United States of America and NOT Russia (as it appears some RINO FASCIST Republicans wishes it would be).

Per an article published by the Washington Post, “Anonymous criticism helped make America great” at washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/09/08/anonymous-criticism-helped-make-america-great/

“Anonymous publication has been an essential feature of American democracy since its beginning. It has long allowed vulnerable voices to participate in public politics and speak truth to power. Indeed, anonymous debate was at the center of the revolutionary politics that led to American independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which enshrined the press freedoms that continue to protect anonymous speech today”.

“In the late 18th century, pseudonyms and anonymous sources filled the pages of newspapers. In fact, some of the most prominent Founding Fathers regularly used the shield of pseudonyms in political essays during the era of the American Revolution: Thomas Paine, John Dickinson, Alexander Hamilton, Arthur Lee, John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Influential texts such as “Common Sense,” the Federalist essays and the “Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania” essays were all published without an author’s byline”.

 

 

Radical Right-Wing Anti-Democratic Fascist BULLY Republicans prove they HATE Freedom of Speech & the First Amendment when people or organizations speak out against THEM – Apr 27, 2022

 

Republican Attacks on Freedom of Speech: Florida Bill HB 991

Republicans are continuing their attacks on Civil Rights and Freedom of Speech with Florida Bill HB 991 which significantly weakens libel laws. It weaponizes defamation law to the point that it be a death knell for American traditions of free speech and could be used to crush critics of government policy.

Description from YouTube: “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is seen by many as apparently creating the right-wing “safe space” that Marjorie Taylor Greene seemed to ask for–a space where the children of certain white Christians will never have to learn anything that makes their right-wing parents uncomfortable. Joy Reid and her panel discuss the Florida bills and new laws passed by Republicans that experts say infringe on the First Amendment”.

 

Bobby Block: HB 991 – bad for Florida, bad for America

This legislation is hardly a novel move.

Per the article above: “Imagine a world in which newspapers have been bankrupted and shuttered. Imagine that Reddit, the Drudge Report and Red Pill are no more and that social media platforms forbid political discussion of any stripe. Imagine that while some television and radio news shows still exist, they only feature endless stories about cats and dogs, and fawning coverage of those in power. Imagine a world in which robust political discussion has been cowed into silence, all government business takes place behind closed doors, and nobody can talk about what might have transpired in this darkness unless they want to end up broke, unemployed and homeless”.

This is not the backdrop of some new Netflix drama about a dystopian future in a galaxy, far, far away. No. This is a possible reality right here in Florida if lawmakers succeed in passing a bill that would lower the threshold for the rich and powerful to sue anybody who says something they don’t like.

HB 991 is officially called the Defamation, False Light, and Unauthorized Publication of Name or Likenesses Bill. But First Amendment activists like me who have read it call it the “Death to Public Discourse Bill.”

Key supporters of HB 991 want you to believe the legislation is about taming the excesses of the “liberal corporate” media by giving the “little guy” a chance to avenge “bad” coverage. But the truth of this bill is all about making it easier for government officials and their rich and powerful allies to use the courts to punish those who criticize them.

And despite the belief by some conservatives that HB 991 would only affect The New York Times, the Miami Herald and CNN if it were to become law, the reality is no information outlet would be spared the depredations of punitive lawsuits under its provisions. Fox, Newsmax, and conservative talk radio stations will all feel the sting of this new law as public figures across the political spectrum look to exact their vengeance against inconvenient news coverage and commentary. The fallout would just as likely crush Fox’s Tucker Carlson as it would the NYT’s Paul Krugman.

More than that, this legislation would also subject bloggers, community groups, average users of social media — in short everybody who wants their voices heard — to the untold financial and emotional burdens of lawsuits.

 

 

Florida lawmakers to consider defamation bill

A law expert explains the bill could allow the “little guy” to go after media companies reporting false information, but the average person could be sued, as well.

Per the above article: The AP reports DeSantis is seeking to undercut a 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decision that shielded news outlets from libel judgments unless proven that they were published with “actual malice” — knowing that something was false or acting with “reckless disregard” to whether it was true. Florida legislation to carry out DeSantis’ plan would make it unnecessary to prove “actual malice” when the allegedly defamatory statements don’t relate to the reason why someone is a public figure.

 

 

Those accused of discrimination would have new protections under Florida bill

A bill proposed by a Republican lawmaker would change the meaning of “defamation per se.”

Per the article above; Bill would limit who is considered a public figure for the purposes of defamation suits and could make it more difficult for media outlets to use anonymous sources.

The bill could also have a chilling effect on news outlets reporting about people accused of discriminating against others on the basis of race, sexuality or gender identity, legal experts say.

“This is a very plaintiff-friendly bill,” said Clay Calvert, a professor emeritus of law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. And he said the bill does not just apply to mainstream news — it applies to other forms of publishing as well, including social media.

Andrade noted that publishing true statements is an “absolute defense” against a defamation claim. And he said the bill does not just apply to mainstream news — it applies to other forms of publishing as well, including social media. HB 991 would limit who can be considered a public figure under the law for purposes of defamation. It would also exempt public figures from the actual malice standard “when the allegation does not relate to the reason for his or her public status.”

Calvert noted that revising American libel laws has long been a priority of many conservatives. When he was running for president in 2016, Donald Trump pledged to “open up our libel laws.”

 

Florida Republicans Criminalize Protesting

With the passage of an anti-protest law, Joy says, “DeSantis is actually governing like the former Alabama Governor … George Wallace made no secret of what he would do to protesters if they were lying in the street in front of his car.”

 

 

Gov. Ron DeSantis & Florida Republican passes a law that could create harshest punishments for protesters in the nation.

 

Florida passes law to Criminalize Protesting

 

CBS NEWS: Florida Republicans want take away peoples right to peacefully protest with Anti-Democratic Authoritarian “Rioting Bill” to quash Freedom of Speech.

Saying it is designed to quash the voices of Black and brown people, Florida Democratic lawmakers on Monday excoriated a proposal pushed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and legislative leaders aimed at cracking down on protests.

 

WJXT NEWS 4: Florida activists push back against proposed increased punishment for protesters

A day after Gov. Ron DeSantis rolled out a legislative package aimed at cracking down on protesters by creating a host of new crimes, a group of Florida civil-rights activists on Tuesday came out strong against the proposed laws.

Florida Senate passes controversial ‘anti-riot’ bill pushed in wake of Black Lives Matter protests

The Florida Senate passed a controversial anti-riot bill that was pushed by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests last summer.

Per the above article; “The Florida Senate on Thursday passed, largely along party lines, a controversial anti-riot bill that was pushed by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests last summer.

The bill would increase criminal penalties for assaulting law enforcement officials while engaging in a “riot” and defacing monuments and other public property during riots. It would also penalize local governments that interfere with law enforcement efforts to contain riots and set up a citizen’s appeal process when cities and counties try to reduce police budgets in response to riots.

The final vote in the Senate was 23-17, with one Republican voting with Democrats in opposition. The bill passed the GOP-controlled House in late March. Democratic legislators argue that it would create a chilling effect on First Amendment rights and restrict political dissent”.

“This legislation strikes the appropriate balance of safeguarding every Floridian’s constitutional right to peacefully assemble, while ensuring that those who hide behind peaceful protest to cause violence in our communities will be punished,” DeSantis said in a statement”.

DeSantis statement; “This legislation strikes the appropriate balance of safeguarding every Floridian’s constitutional right to peacefully assemble” is total BS. The criminal penalties in the bill PROVES his statement is BS.

 

Trump Loving Florida Governor Makes It LEGAL To Kill Protestors

Under a proposed piece of legislation from Ron DeSantis, the Trump-loving governor of Florida, it would be legal for citizens to run over protestors without any fear of prosecution, as long as the protestor was in the street. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment of the United States, and DeSantis is merely trying to give voters the impression that things are out of control in the state. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains why DeSantis is doing this.

 

Republican Ron DeSantis ‘God made a fighter’ who was ‘Anointed By God’ Propaganda Political Ad really shows what DeSantis thinks of himself and what a danger to Democracy he is. DeSantis who claims he’s made Florida “one of the Freest States in American”, has taken away rights and made it one of the most oppressed.

Republicans are Fascists who want to DESTROY Democracy in the United States

 

 

“Dictators Playbook”

 

 

Republicans fit all of the Characteristics of Fascism described below

Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism – Article by Dr. Lawrence Britt

1. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

2. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

3. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

4. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

5. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

6. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

7. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.

8. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

9. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

10. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

12. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

13. Manipulate & Control elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate & control elections.

14. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

 

REPUBLICANS ARE LIKE ISLAMIC TERRORISTS

 

Radical Right Wing, Trump Supporting Republicans can be easily spotted in Pick-up Trucks with flags (similar to Islamic Terrorist in pick-up trucks with flags).

 

Republican ARE America’s TALIBAN

Lawless Radical Right-Wing MAGA Trump supporters smash into another car during a crazed attack attempting to run Biden campaign bus off the road. Note the FLAGS on Truck similar to those of ISIS Islamic Terrorists.

 

Here’s a few of the behaviors and ideologies Republicans, The Taliban and Islamic ISIS Terrorist have in common;

1. Bullies
2. Religious extremists
3. Extremists who resort to Violence to get their way (January 6, 2021 riots to overturn legitimate election which their leader, Trump lost)
4. Right-wing Anti-democratic Fascist (most Republicans condone eliminating a free press and democracy)
5. Suppress Women’s Rights (anti-abortion laws)
6. Extreme Patriotism with tons of flags

 

 

 

POLL: Only 36% Of Republicans Support Freedom Of The Press

43% of Republicans think President Trump “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior,” while only 36% disagreed with the statement, according to an Ipsos poll

 

Trump Supporters Are Excited By The Idea Of Him Being A Dictator

Donald Trump did exactly what most of us expected, and he actually convinced his base that he SHOULD be a dictator if he gets back into office, and that it is somehow a good thing to trample on the Constitution. Ever since Trump first made his dictator comments, his supporters have been quick to defend and ultimately offer their praise of the comments, and that part isn’t dying down, either. A new poll also shows that a strong number of Iowa voters say that his rhetoric makes it MORE likely that they will support him.

 

German Nazis were Right-Wing “Conservative” Fascist

The full name of Hitler’s party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. In English, that translates to National Socialist German Workers’ Party. But it was not a socialist party; it was a right-wing, ultranationalist party dedicated to racial purity, territorial expansion and anti-Semitism and total political control.

The Nazi party was largely supported by small-business men and conservative industrialists (just like today’s American Republican party).

 

Trump Endorses Right-Wing Autocrat In Hungary

Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul and former FBI special agent Clint Watts discuss with Nicolle Wallace the former president’s endorsement of Viktor Orban ahead of the Parliamentary elections in Hungary.

 

CPAC Gives Far-Right Hungarian Leader A Standing Ovation

Hungary’s authoritarian prime minister was met with a warm welcome from conservatives in Dallas, TX weeks after giving a speech in which he said he opposed “mixed race” societies. MSNBC political analyst Peter Beinart tells MSNBC’s Zerlina Maxwell that the fact Victor Orbán was given such a prominent speaking role at CPAC says that the Republican party is “less conservative than it is just white Christian nationalist.”

 

Thom Hartmann explains how Victor Orbán and his Radical Right-Wing Party took over the once Democratic government in Hungary and turned it into a anti-democratic authoritarian fascist one-party-rule dictatorship where elections & the courts are rigged, all of the media is state controlled and praise for Victor Orbán Propaganda is seen everywhere.
