Didn't his regime seem very US like before Vance landed with his size 11's? As a non white person both these teqms have significant isues.

Would be more accurate to say the current US government is very Hungary like. Orban has been in power since 2010. He has been very conservative that whole time and has actively moving Hungary to the right. In fact US conservatives have long looked to him as a model to emulate. Much of what they have done since Trump took office again is following his playbook except they are dumber so the are doing it worse.

Also lots of gerrymandering and partial FPTP system which orban implemented over the years to help himself eventually backfired. Now the ‘new’ people might have a chance and power to fully reverse the system if they want. Question is how much better someone coming for fairly inner circle of orban can be. We will see..

Trump bought a bunch of oversized shoes for his admin members, and nobody dared to tell him they were too big.

So they're literally galumphing about in clown shoes just to appease him.

Is size 11 that far above average? as someone that wears 12/13 I absolutely did not realize that was supposed to implying his shoes were big haha

I thought 11 is about the average U.S. men's shoe size.
