  1. I think it's important to have a view of what the ultimate goal is. To replace a Liberal tyranny with a Right wing tyranny just changes the colour of your oppressor's uniform. Personally, I think there aspects of Liberalism that are OK, if not pushed to extremes, and aspects to a well ordered, competently run state that make everyday life bearable. Finding the sweet spot is the key. Hungary may be the best example we have so far.

  2.  @evolassunglasses4673  I think, for me, the big hope is that the 'new' Republican party seems to be opposed to this Global Liberalism ideology. As the Mitchell and Webb sketch goes "Are we the baddies?", yes we are, and I think the extreme deep state reaction to Trump was due to them realising that he was anti Globalist, anti permanent wars, and anti identity politics. The big joke is that Liberalism, as practiced in the west, is way more hegemonic on a global scale than the Russian and Chinese systems. But more and more of us are seeing that. I believe a post Globslist world, if we can achieve it, is capable of existing and respecting different values and can pull us back from the kind of nuclear brinkmanship we see Liberals so blasé about. Hungary seems to be able to deal equally with different systems because it isn't expansionist in outlook. Quite the opposite of the US and the EU. The US under Trump or DeSantis will lead us out of this mess. That's the hope.
