  • Calls herself Comanche then talks about replacements . Unbelievable levels of ignorance .
  • when that lady said she was mostly Comanche I literally spit my milk across the room in laughter.
  • @dewilew2137
    It’s really terrifying that that weird blonde woman is a social worker. 😕
  • @arontoth561
    Hungarian here. Orban is definitely not someone to follow. However, these american journalists are always missing the point. It's not bad because there are no lgbt rights, but it's bad because it gets harder every day to have a normal life. Skyrocketing inflation, poor quality of education and healthcare, high taxes, all the laws making it difficult for businesses to prosper all contribute to life being very unrewarding in Hungary. People with government-connections get literally all of the EU funds, same with municipalities. Every year 20,000-30,000 (mostly young and highly educated) people leave the country, because prospects for young adults are generally very poor. Not to mention everything has gotten way worse since the war started.
  • @alexndg5260
    The fact that people are comfortable going in front of a camera and saying with a straight face that they think certain people should have fewer rights than others is astonishing
  • @slconley
    Did that lady really say “we don’t know what diseases they’re bringing in” as if people are stray animals with rabies?!?!
  • @word42069
    This is why EDUCATION AND CRITICAL THINKING ARE CRUCIAL.
  • The irony of concervatives being so against liberalism because "it leads to socialism" yet believing a leader who is "not afraid to use the power of the state to achieve certain goals" is inspiring is mind blowing, and terrifying.
  • @hulkhogan4203
    5:42 "I'm not even a white person I'm mostly Comanche" 6:32 "WhY DoEs ThE LeFt AlWaYs BrINg Up RaCe???" you literally can't make up this level of ignorance.
  • @NSJonesy94
    Comanche lady really said “ Hungaria” 😂
  • @Ethan_Coble
    "Being a Christian and a nationalist isn't a crime". You're right, Brenda... But it sure as hell is one GIANT logical contradiction.
  • @akadopeboi
    As a Jamaican Canadian I also now identify as Comanche with a tid bit of German.
  • @JoshMorrow
    Also, many conservatives are fond of saying, “if you don’t love America, leave America.” I hope they take their own advice and just move to Hungary…
  • It’s funny how all those people loved Orban’s speech and Hungary yet the majority of them couldn’t point to it on a map! 😅

  • @ROZDAB
    They are scared of everything and love to play the victim. That’s why they want a strongman. Must suck being so afraid of everything.
  • HOW is she a social worker???!! Everything she is saying and standing for goes against the values of social work
