We have, of course, always been experts on Hungary…but just in case we’re missing something, we brought on two actual experts. Senior Vox reporter Zack Beauchamp and political scientist Dr. Jennifer McCoy help us understand the rise and—hurray, it finally happened!—fall of Viktor Orban. How did Peter Magyar beat Hungary’s longtime authoritarian leader? What lessons does this victory hold for our fight here in the U.S.? And, of course, how much does all of this prove our priors and agenda and nobody else’s? If you were excited about the news out of Hungary, you’re gonna like this episode.
