is playing a different game than the Trumpers, albeit with the same desired outcome. An authoritarian government, privatization of public services, and more money sucked up by the wealthy.

Trump is following the Project 2025 playbook and Hawley is using the Orban plan.

Look at Hungary. In order to keep unease about changes in the judicial system and loss of rights and the ability to fully participate in civil society Orban's government has brought in generous social services and other direct and indirect payments to people. It's sort of like China's contract with their people. Let us create an authoritarian surveillance state and we promise you modernization and a better living standard.

But back to Josh, just because he's doing what seems to be the right thing in this instance, he's still a little fascist.
