In an article by the New York Times, writer Nicholas Kulish outlines the sentiments of one particular political group - the Politics Can Be Different Party - which is openly disparaging what it views as a "Demolition of Democracy", claiming that it is the destruction of democracy which is responsible for their suppression by the Fidesz Party, which currently appears to be using its two thirds majority to "tighten its grip on the news media and the courts, redraw parliamentay districts in its favor, and pack the Constitutional Court with supporters."

However, it is Democracy itself which is far too often a means of demolition. The truth is that any true democracy is only an environment of “mob rule”.

A true democracy enables excessive amounts of repression, whereby a 51% majority is granted the power to suppress a 49% minority. Furthermore, this lopsided moiety is only the beginning of the inequities created by democratic rule.

The fact is that all democracies run the extreme risk of becoming a dictatorship, mostly reflective of a Monarchy, wherein a mere 1% minority can gain complete control over a 99% majority, by employing simple criminality and deception.

Elected officials refuse to operate within a position of public service, and on the contrary are always seeking powers they are not in any way allowed.

This is what creates the oppressive authoritarian environment all politicians typically scramble to ascend into. And the only reason they are so often moved to attack their opponents with deleterious accusations and displays of corruption is because they never had the people's best interests in mind when campaigning for office.

Elected officials are not granted any powers whatsoever, per se. But are only expected to accept a position of utter accountablility for what transpires on their watch.

The LMP Party is just as guilty as the Fidesz Party, in their bid for power and control. The only difference is that the LMP Party does not currently operate as a majority influence.

However, it is the people who are the real losers in the deal.

There can certainly exist an democratically elected government within a constitutional republic, providing said government is restrained by the constitution within a specific, and moderate, schematic of enumerated rights and responsibilities.

However, to expect that a mere democratic ideal ensures the posterity of any republic is preposterous.

The inequities, and obvious criminality, occurring in Hungary, are the direct result of its government’s refusal to admit that laws must govern a society, above and beyond the desires or demands of any of its citizens, be they a majority, or a single individual.

Far too many government officials are reaping the negative effects of their personal grasp for power, in that they are forced to witness their country devolve into a democratized form of incivility.

They so often dishonorably engage the citizenry with deceptively manufactured structures, wherein they opt for empty promises, grandiose claims, and a mentality of mandate in order to gain support, rather than simply “tell it like it is” and allow the system to operate properly…in all of its natural proclivities and fallibilities.

This is because almost all - if not all - politicians refuse to operate within the reality that no reasonable change can occur quickly. And on the contrary, are generally only interested in saying what is necessary to convince people to vote for them...certain that they can simply exert unwarranted authority as a means of compensating for the many inequities they create with their incompetence and mendacity.

The coup that is occurring in Hungary, is to be expected.

How unfortunate for Hungary's citizenry, that its government appears either incapable of, or simply unwilling to, learn from the mistakes of so many other nations. The United States included.
