All the Putin bootlickers gathering together to plan the best way to betray their countries.
Seriously, how bald-faced that Republicans bend over backwards for Orban while giving little grace to literally every other leader of a European nation
Can we just deport conservatives to Russia instead? That would solve almost every major problem the U.S. faces.
Conservatives love war, they love Putin and they support the Ukraine invasion. They will be in heaven! (Ukranians will make sure of that.)

Thinking warmer climes might be their destination.
I feel like actively signalling support of a political party is grounds to send the Hungarian embassy and their staff back home if they’re willing to actively sabotage the efforts of the US and her allies because Orban is mad Zelensky made him look bad.

Heritage’s president, Kevin Roberts, repeatedly praised the Hungarian leader on X: “One thing is clear from visiting Hungary and from being involved in current policy and cultural debates in America: the world needs a movement that fights for Truth, for tradition, for families, and for the average person.”
In recent years Orbán has championed a transatlantic far-right alliance with a hardline stance against immigration and “gender ideology”, staunch Christian nationalism and scorn for those who warn of a slide into authoritarianism.
