Ultimately, both on the surface and within the substance, Orban's "Christian Democracy" is not Christian. It is cut from the same cloth that prepared Germany for WWII and the Holocaust. There is little to difference between Hitler's Nazism and Stalin's Communism or Soviets, nor with Putin's plan to restore Soviet Russia.

And all of these protests that "they aren't really Christians" does not even define the problem; it wrings its hands over the harm done to the name of Christianity itself. Wait. What is this about? Oh. Trans folk, LGBTQ+ folk? They'll have to wait. The Christians need to get their terms straightened out first. People are already dying from this wave of legislation, but it is good to know that here, we will be certain of who the good Christians are, and who the bad.
