    One thing not mentioned is the economic status of Hungary. If focusing on “dinner table issues” is the key then people need to be hurting. If they’re hurting then why would they triple or quadruple down on the status quo? If they’re not hurting then we’re back to ideology and convincing people there’s more to life than the necessities or that an even better future awaits. For the US I think the next 2 to 4 years are likely to dictate the next 2 to 4 decades.
