Why Hungary Matters To American Conservatives | The American Conservative

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : I would oppose the Orban government on this (while admitting that I could be wrong; given the enormity of the crimes of the Holocaust and Communism, it is not crazy to ban speech denying either).
56% : The promotion by Western governments and NGOs of certain aspects of cultural liberalism -- notably on gender identity -- has had mixed results in post-communist and developing countries.
53% : Brexit signalled the beginning of the end of that dystopian construct: others will leave the EU, because of the coming migration crisis - tens of millions will seek to move from Africa and the Middle East, and there will be toxic attempts at "distributing" migrants across the bloc - or because of a populist uprising or economic implosion.
52% : We could be looking at Iran 1979 all over again.
44% : Fidesz capitalized on this with an effective rhetorical campaign against mass immigration into Europe, and a lesser-known set of popular pro-natal incentives such as lifetime exemption from income taxes for women who have a certain number of children.
32% : If we had this kind of debate in the US Congress, anyone who said that the policy should only target traditional families -- that is to say, not families with same-sex parents, or polyamorous families -- would be denounced as the worst kind of bigot.
