Interesting statement, which sums it up pretty well. American liberalism has always seemed too 'Conform, or else!' for my liking.

Yeah because nothing says “freedom” like conservatives bending over backwards to join Trump’s cult of personality, and then defend it for four years.

I am just glad that people won't be able to blame him for everything anymore, I got really tired of it after a while. It must be a sad day for the American news media, Biden is pretty much the most boring president ever, their ratings will plummet.  

Don't you worry. There's plenty of reason to blame him for at least a year.

Hopefully we will have more competent executive leadership than we did over the last four years. The last year has been extremely rough in America, much tougher than it had to he even with the pandemic.

I think you should listen a bit to what Antony Blinken said yesterday.

Yeah, maybe I am naïve. The conservatives in my country still hate on the left-wing PM who resigned in 2009. That was 12 years ago.

Well, that 2nd point will surely help Orbán here, and will be used against the opposition for the next election. "Look at what Biden did! The liberals will also bring Muslims to Hungary!"

That's called partisanship, though.

 

Which is pronounced in America more than anywhere else.

And telling your supporters to march on the Capitol Building, in order to try and upend the democratic process...is that just typical partisanship as well?
