In my view, neither response is persuasive. Hochman's counter-examples are unpersuasive, relying (for example) on the long-debunked IRS "scandal" to normalize targeting of one's political enemies. Dreher, as is typical, basically ignores the evidence that Orbán is authoritarian — PolitiTweet.org

In my view, neither response is compelling. Hochman's counter-examples — including Macron (?) and the long-debunked IRS "scandal" — don't show that the DeSantis/Orbán view of power is widely shared. Dreher, as is typical, mostly ignores the evidence that Orbán is authoritarian. — PolitiTweet.org
