>>Look at the protests in Hungary, look at Serbia—that’s how you stand up to a fascist
That's how you get EU and USAID funding to standup to a president outside of the WEF overton window, certainly.
But we can have the correct answer for the audience via my Serbian colleague: local construction corruption got sufficiently bad that people got killed, and then it escalated into general complaints about not listening to the public and complicit media. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novi_Sad_railway_station_canop...
Is this some US-based fiction among maga fanatics to pat on their wobbly backs?
Those people protest for they want freedom and self-determination in their lives, something even maga supporter with lowest IQ in the crowd should comprehend - the need for personal freedom is natural to all humans, yes even those without US passports. Something all dictators in all forms are very keen to take away as we are seeing everywhere including US.
