Lesson for USians:
Despite capture of the media, gerrymandering, corruption, skullduggery, and 16 years in power, Hungary threw out their antidemocratic dictator.
Their secret?
They turned out to vote.
Some 89 million Americans -- about 36% of the US voting-eligible population -- didn't vote in the 2024 general election.
We got what more than a third of our electorate didn't vote for.
