   “Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Wednesday likened the European Union to the former Soviet Union and called on Hungarians to ‘resist’ Brussels as they did Moscow in 1956.”

   Remind me again why Hungary is still a member of the EU?

     Look, unless the EU has mechanisms by which it can, at the very least, freeze membership of countries that come to embrace fascism, I don’t see how it doesn’t devolve into a fascist institution itself given enough time. You need to nip this shit in the bud. You can’t allow it to fester. You can’t invite it in. Freeze Hungary’s membership now. Let the people know, fascism isn’t welcome. If Hungary elects a non-fascist next time around, then, great, welcome back. Now don’t do it again or else…

     @aral is it because the EU allows Hungary to remain a member?

     @krimisukrainian That would appear to be the case, yes.
