And the benefits the USA has vs Hungary in the for mof stronger checks also leads to a wait and see attitude. We are all hoping the judiciary will stop the flagrant violations of law, and that some how two more years of foreign brainwashing in the media,that will now be completely uncontested will somehow lead to candidates that actually respect the rule of law. If the judiciary appears to put up a good front for long enough before capitulating, and the legislature pretends they might stop the worst abuses for long enough, everyone will just be comfortable with the new normal.
