True, and I don't mean to imply that Hungary will magically be transformed into a thriving democracy as soon as Orbàn is out. It's gonna take years to rebuild the judiciary alone, and we'll see how committed Maygar is to restoring inconvenient aspects of democracy like press freedom and fair elections. Still, Hungary took the first step towards reestablishing democracy by voting, and I'm getting tired of hearing how voting doesn't work from people who's only political activities are sharing the, "You're Finished," meme and telling people to read theory.

I agree with you even if I have been a doom and gloom person as of late.

I agree that voting is important even if rigged... writing to your representatives is important even if they wipe their asses with your letters... we all must continue to enact the "normal" strategies while also considering extraordinary ones!

Agreed. Until there is an open Civil War, voting will be important, as well as protests and general strikes.
