61. Hungarian Democracy is functioning better than the American version.
Sun Apr 12, 2026, 06:32 PM
Sunday

We need 60% in the Senate, and that excludes Fetterman. Our system is distorted by money in politics. Our executive has usurped Congressional power. Billionaires get all the tax breaks, and the largest corporations control 90% of corporate profits in the country, and help write the legislation and regulations.

We don't elect kings, but we got one.
