I’ve been listening to my friend in Budapest complain as the restrictions on freedom grow and the economy of the country diminishes until it became a total dictatorship and there is no recourse.  And now it is happening to us.  “Do everything you can to stop it before it is irreversible!” she shouts over the phone.  

But this week I began to break down. I just don’t have the strength to fight and it feels like we’ve lost.  Let’s just let him take over.  How bad could it get?  We can always move to Budapest, right?

Seriously, though, what is the alternative?  Elections….Can we make it to elections?
