CPAC admires Orban because
1. He bent the rules, changing his constitution and altering voting laws in order to remain in power, indefinitely
2. He destroyed the independent media; nothing remains but a few websites
3. He doesn't keep his homophobia, his anti-semitism or his racism a secret
4. He moves, walks and talks like a Ruritanian dictator from a movie
They would like to do and be all of these things too
He hates Ukraine for the same reasons Putin does: because Ukrainians actively fought their own illiberal autocrats.
Plus Putin has made a large, secretive investment in nuclear power in Hungary. Corruption is the secret fuel that powers Orban's regime.
I've been saying for months The Cult's model for America is Hungary and a leader like Orban. Their policies align w/Orban's. If they succeed they will never be out of power. They've been on this path for years - think culture wars, election fraud, fake news. It won't end w/Trump.
