It’s got to be bad if Cato are dissing them.

To be fair if you look back at what they previously written they critiqued Orban for over a decade.

I was checking if the url had weird Unicode shit going on, or something.

How so? Cat are open borders people, no?

Or the exact opposite. Cato are just neoliberal elite shills. Anything that hurts the bottom line of that class is "bad".

The results are not yet in. Don't forget how "sovereign democracies" do elections. Just look at how Russia, Turkey, Georgia or the US are doing their elections. Vladislav Surkov, Putin's wizard was right. Just give them bread and circuses.

Magyar was member of Fidesz up to 2024. So if he actually wins would this be meaningful change or just internal party infighting?

constitutional coups.

unfortunately being attempted all over from Hungary, Russia(successfully), Zimbabwe (currently in progress) and other nations all over.

cato and reason are the only conservative/libertarian sites i respect. they actually believe in democracy and freedom, just defined in a different way from mine and focused on other issues that more liberal or leftist media ignore. reason has a lot of coverage on eminent domain laws and online censorship for example. compare that to fox but also more "educated" places like the free press or quillette and the difference is clear.
