I had the chance to join @yourcallradio, the San Francisco based public affairs radio show on 91.7 FM @kalw in the Bay Area, for a conversation about what the U.S. can learn from Hungary’s slide into electoral autocracy. It was a real pleasure to do this together with one of Hungary’s finest journalists, @andraspe. We talked about why both small and large D #democrats keep losing ground in the fight against #illiberalism, how socioeconomic dislocation opens the door for #autocratization, how the built-in elitism of American institutions makes democracy weaker, and how autocrats hijack institutions and the media while promising stability they never deliver. We also touched on the simple but uncomfortable truth that illiberal actors across the world cooperate very effectively. If progressives want to protect #democracy, they need to match that level of coordination. Hungary offers lessons that are painful but useful. There's always a chance to fight back. Grateful to @roseaguilar and @jlomiyaki for hosting this important series and for bringing comparative insights into the American debate. You can listen to the 50-minute episode on the link in the first comment. @GUQatar
