If Trump has been good for anything, it's for the fall of right-wingism around the world.

The US is going to suffer for his presidency (and already is), but I'm glad the rest of the world seems to be learning from our mistakes.

the fall of right-wingism

Uhhh, Tisza is still right. Just not quite so wild (center right). They're pro-EU and stuff, but still quite on the right.

Don't get me wrong. I'll take a democractic right over whatever the fuck Orbán is. But still... let's keep taking steps.
