How Hungary Fought Fascism (w/ Jennifer McCoy & Zack Beauchamp)

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 correspondent Zack Beauchamp and political scientist Dr. Jennifer McCoy have spent a lot of time studying Viktor Orban's reactionary regime, and they joined us to help explain his rise and (hurray!) fall. How did Peter Magyar beat Hungary’s longtime authoritarian leader? What lessons does this victory hold for our fight here in the U.S.? How much does all of this prove our priors and nobody else’s? And, of course, should Eminem run for president in 2028? If you were excited about the news out of Hungary and want to understand the dynamics better, you’re gonna like this episode!
