Hungary has definitely fallen into fascism. Poland seems to have crawled at least partway out from under it, at least for a little breather. Now I'm worried about Slovakia. Thing is though, throughout Europe (and much of the rest of the world) there's always an explicitly anti-immigration (and all around social conservative/authoritarian) party with locked-in double digit support levels, and efforts by non-fascist parties to build non-fascist coalitions are squeaker victories at best, in France, Britain, Sweden, Canada, seemingly everywhere. I am not optimistic about the future. Trumpism will not die with Trump. Pushing it back to the margins of the marketplace of ideas will be a long and probably dangerous slog.
