Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and France’s Marine Le Pen headlined a rally in Madrid on Saturday by Europe’s biggest far-right bloc, buoyed by Donald Trump’s return to power and calling for “a 180-degree pivot”.

Patriots for Europe has realigned extreme-right forces in the European Union. It became the European Parliament’s third-largest force after Orban helped launch it last year to pull the bloc towards the far right.

“Yesterday we were the heretics. Today we are the mainstream… We are the future,” proclaimed Orban, sharing the stage with other leading extreme-right nationalists including Dutch anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini and former Czech premier Andrej Babis.

    You can’t just say the US are nazis. If they were Nazis they would shut down all gender study, homosexual study and remove all attempts to reduce social divisions. If they were Nazis they would be building concentration camps. If they were Nazis they would have weird forms of Christianity that justify enslavement, the concentration of wealth, and the spread of hate. Finally if they were Nazis they would be doing something super fucked up like resettling White South Africans who were “victims of racist policies”

    Wait…we are doing or have done all of these? Looks like I was wrong about which flavor of fascist we elected.
