How about CPAC holding their next conference in Hungary where the AUTOCRAT has just about decimated all freedoms.

Hungary has decided to remain neutral in the present conflict and it is easy to see why with both Brussels and Putin saying "you better do what we say".
To Progressives, anybody against open borders is an Autocrat.

correct! here are some of the usual suspects like The Atlantic and VOX rage whining.
It happened there: how democracy died in Hungary
A new kind of authoritarianism is taking root in Europe — and there are warning signs for America.

The Hungary-Serbia border runs through a wilderness, tall grass flatlands ringed by imposing clusters of trees and thickets. When I visited a stretch of the Serbian side on a sunny day in June, the landscape would have been lovely — had it not been for the gigantic barbed-wire fence running straight through the middle of it.
The border fence had been built three years earlier on the Hungarian side, by the order of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who had sold it to the public as Hungary’s first line of defense against an “invasion” of asylum seekers during a massive surge in migration to Europe from conflict-ridden countries in 2015. Two years later, he
sent a bill for the fence’s construction cost to Brussels, suggesting the European Union should repay Hungary for ”protecting all the citizens of Europe from the flood of illegal migrants.”
Hungary wants to protect its borders! fascism! bahhaaaaa not.

The Autocrat’s Legacy
Defeating Viktor Orbán will be hard, but undoing Hungary’s democratic decline will be harder.
Several people I spoke with for this story, including friends and allies of Karácsony in Budapest, told me that he is, in many ways, the exact opposite of Orbán: While the Hungarian prime minister fits comfortably within the global far right, Karácsony hails from the green left. While Orbán is largely associated with the Hungarian countryside, where his core base resides, Karácsony is seen as part of the country’s cosmopolitan intelligentsia.
Orbán is an illiberal strongman whose politics is defined by a rotating cast of enemies (among them
Muslim migrants,
LGBTQ people, the
Hungarian-born financier George Soros, and
Brussels); Karácsony is an environmentally friendly progressive who preaches consensus-building and compromise. Orbán is old and familiar; Karácsony, 12 years the prime minister’s junior, is a fresh face. “He is short and fat, and I am tall and slim,” Karácsony recently
told The Economist—a gag for which he
later apologized. (Orbán probably wouldn’t have.)
well there it is! illiberal automatically means fascist! no wonder the left is having such a conniption fit over this guy.
bahahhahahaaaaaa
