Excellent news Hungary! I hope others follow. Get rid of your maniac in charge and elect someone sane.

I think you’re a bit behind with the times

I think that’s an encouragement for the aforementioned “other”.

In April, pro-EU conservative Prime Minister Peter Magyar and his Tisza party won a landslide victory, ending Orban’s 16 years in power. … Asked whether his government would allow same-sex marriage or adoption earlier this month, Magyar said: “We have made it clear that, in our view, everyone is free to love whom they want and live with whom they want, as long as they do not violate the law.”

He hasn’t changed any of the old laws yet, so there could be something ominous in that “as long as they do not violate the law”, but imagine a conservative that actually thinks people should be able to just live their own lives.

In theory that’s what conservatism should be - minimum government reach, minimum government spend, minimum taxation, just let everyone get on with living with a minimum of interference

Unfortunately, once again, theory and practice are not the same, with so-called conservative governments being authoritarian, controlling, and radically regressive

“Conservatives should be” describes liberalism “and not” describes conservatism

Conservatism never was what the “feel good” type Reagan-era lifestyle marketing told people. Also you can be a liberal, or even a far-leftist, and

  • not like partying,
  • not do drugs,
  • not be gay/trans/whatever,
  • like traditions,
  • be a “moderate patriot”.

Interesting, I thought a bit about the comment

as long as the do not violate the law

i guess you might have cases where people can’t consent, like if one person in the relationship is underage, or mentally handicapped, or the like. Where you’d run into problems if you just announce “everyone can love anybody”. Guess there might be other similar cases?
