Well, give him credit for candor regarding his vision for America. Former President Trump has shared with us what another Trump presidency (and a Trumpian America) might look like. The model for Trump's America is apt to be Hungary in the style of Hungary's Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán.
Trump is an embarrassment whenever he speaks about international or domestic situations or people without any accurate understanding of the facts. While some of his messaging is appropriate the majority is ill formed and will not 'make America great again'. What we need are leaders who will work with those with differing views to reach an agreement to 'solve' any of the major problems we face.
In addition to Locke's structural liberalism, well outlined here, there are other connotations that can be brought out. For decades now, Republicans have been discrediting the word "liberal." That's a disservice. "Liberal" evokes or derives from two Latin words. "Liber," which means "free" and "liberalis" which means "generous." Please warn me if there's anything wrong with being free, generous, or protected by institutions that check the abuse of power and protect the rule of law. It is conservative to be that kind of liberal.
It would be helpful to have some examples of how Orban’s autocratic approach impacts the lives of Hungary’s citizens. It might further incentivize your readers to take this upcoming election even more seriously.
