In the Dubya era, conservatives fantasized about striding the world like a colossus, installing democracy and the American Way at will. Now they seem to be fantasizing about living in “just a normal country,” rolling back the clock socially. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing I would say about Hungary—if it does emerge has a “fantasy land” for conservatives—much has changed in the last 20 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@GuillaumeSutton Yes, the U.S. won’t simply surrender hegemony. Also, there’s always going to be hegemonic powers. If it’s not Washington, it will be someone else. Maybe someone far worse. A “multi polar world” is childish fancy. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@GuillaumeSutton The DR gets confused by realistic analysis because for them politics is a fantasy or video game. It’s about signaling how “based” you are. The one with the highest “power level” wins. It’s borderline meaningless. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

None of this is going to happen. And the “we just wanna be like Hungary” fantasy isn’t very productive. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

America being like Sweden or Hungary would mean, not merely higher taxes or less “woke” advocacy, but an abandonment of military commitments as well as the foundation of the America’s universal middle-class lifestyle: a global currency and massive financial sector. — PolitiTweet.org

Orban himself remains a curious figure: a Protestant in a former Catholic stronghold and mostly non-religious country; a protégée of the Soros Free Society who expelled his tutors; a man promoting a nation-state, whose days of glory came when it was the seat of empire. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Orban has engaged in a brilliant PR campaign, but he has also been quite explicit in saying that “Orbanism” is not for export, that he does not question the power of the EU, but simply wants to be left alone as a nice little country. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

America can simply not become these countries, Sweden or Hungary, as both exist only in its shadow. It would be like the New York Yankees deciding to ditch the Majors for the quaint certainty of a single-A team in the Hudson Valley. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Hungary took a different path. The greatest irony of the 20th century is that the Soviet Union—the godless, Marxist “evil empire”—protected the East from the ravages of liberalism, feminism, and Americanism, thus making the Soviet Bloc a place of longing for Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Sweden was allowed to enter the End of History—of collapsing birth rates and Last Man-ness, but, yes, wealth and social cohesion—by living in the shadow of Washington, and thus having all the big questions answered for it (war and peace, friend/enemy, etc.). — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Both Sweden and Hungary reached their current situations and lifestyles by being pawns in the big imperial game of the 20th century: the U.S. vs. U.S.S.R. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Let’s be honest, Americans view Hungary as a tourist destination: not as nice as Prague but a “must see.” Nice cities and churches, without the, you know, “urban” issues… — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Hungary, in turn, appears “fascist” only to the most shrill neoconservative journalists. It’s a quite, conservative country, where racial tension is absent, the gay agenda is stalled and decades behind the West, and the public buildings are grand. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

For decades, Bernie-style leftists made recourse to “we just want to be like Sweden” when accused of being “socialists.” They don’t want, they say, the iron misery of the Soviet Union, not to mention North Korea. They only want welfare, high taxes, and social cohesion. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

“Hungary” is beginning to function for American conservatives like “Sweden” does for leftists: it’s their “we just wanna be like” country. Both are fantasies of decline and shirking responsibilities; both are based on willful misunderstanding of the nature of the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

Bill DeBlasio’s “Keys to NYC”—which requires proof of Covid vaccination to enter restaurants, bars, and gyms—might have some interesting, unintended (?) consequences. https://t.co/0el5uJrd77 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Endlessly masking children at school, in order to protect superstitious nut jobs, just seems cruel and unusual. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

As the CDC itself says, this is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” To be honest, after all this, if an adult chooses not to be vaccinated, because of being a Fox News fan or just general lunatic, he has to face the consequences of his actions. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Reportedly, we have almost fully vaccinated the elderly and most vulnerable, so the issue of transmission via children seems less relevant. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I understand transmission, but it’s too much to expect 6-10 year-olds to wear masks properly, keep them clean, etc. More important, the psychological/developmental damage of masking at school is serious—and seems to not be taken seriously by the CDC making these recommendations. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I’m fully vaccinated, and I’m generally fine wearing a mask when I go shopping or whatever. The issue is children. The silver lining of Covid-19 is that for children, it really is “just the flu.” — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I’m much less offended by a “vaccine passport,” like what’s happening in NYC, than this bizarre obsession with masking children. Vaccines have clearly worked. The data on masks overall is a bit dubious, due to a number of factors. — PolitiTweet.org

@MagaTimmy If you’re still alive on Thursday, I could schedule you in. All superchat revenue will go towards the funeral. — PolitiTweet.org

@MagaTimmy If it’s any comfort, you will needlessly die a free man. — PolitiTweet.org

@MagaTimmy Since both of you refused the deadly vaccine, how is that you got infected with the ‘rona? — PolitiTweet.org
