@dedicto I'm sorry to say this, but I believe we should pump the brakes on this mode of thinking for a little while.
Fascists do not necessarily rely on electoral politics for power. While this is a clear repudiation of Orban and fascism generally in Hungary and Europe, it doesn't mean that they will not try to exert power by other means.
This is a point of evidence in favor of voting our way out of fascism...but it is not yet "the answer".

@scooter @dedicto It’s the answer if the people who are voted into power have the gonads for it. There are any number of things which can be done in the US to curb overt fascists while they are out of power. It just needs to be made clear to Democrats that their jobs depend on actually doing those things.
