"Here comes the dictator." Not the usual greeting you would expect to hear at an EU get-together.
But "dictator" was the word chosen by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker as he welcomed Hungary's Viktor Orban at a summit in Riga, Latvia.

"Scheppele, Kim L. (2018) "Autocratic Legalism," University of Chicago Law Review:
Abstract
Buried within the general phenomenon of democratic decline is a set of cases in which charismatic new leaders are elected by democratic publics and then use their electoral mandates to dismantle by law the constitutional systems they inherited. These leaders aim to consolidate power and to remain in office indefinitely, eventually eliminating the ability of democratic publics to exercise their basic democratic rights, to hold leaders accountable, and to change their leaders peacefully. Because these “legalistic autocrats” deploy the law to achieve their aims, impending autocracy may not be evident at the start. But we can learn to spot the legalistic autocrats before autocratic constitutionalism becomes fatal because they are often following a script using tactics that they borrow from each other. This Essay explains the paths that these autocratic legalists take, the danger signals that accompany their legal reforms, and the methods they use to dismantle liberal constitutions. The Essay also suggests how the legalistic autocrats may be stopped.

“I've also spent a good amount of time in Russia over the past 35 years, and I've worked regularly in Hungary over the past 20 years. My mother's family are Czech/Lithuanian and I've lived in, and photographed events in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans since 1988. I've met Orban a few times before and during his current regime. Hungary only marginally exists as a democracy...it is the most gerrymandered state in Europe and Orban and his cronies have taken control the Television and print media turning it into an Kremlin-like propaganda machine...He has dismantled certain aspects of the constitution and essentially taken control of the judiciary system. From my own personal experience I don't feel it is hyperbole in saying that America is on the brink of Authoritarian rule or at the very least an Orban-like "illiberable democracy" that could take decades to overcome if ever...make no mistake Trump and his acolytes/elites have no interest in Democracy. We are living in a post-truth world and Populists, Demagogues, Authoritarians...always prey on grievance, hatred, bigotry, blame, fear and endemic lack of self-accountability to gain power with the pretence of championing the aggrieved. It's never about ideology...it's always about power and wealth. Trump doesn't have a political bone in his body...he is grifter...and he knows his marks well...and that frankly is very difficult thing to combat...low information and disinformation is a very difficult thing to combat...lazy thinking or lack of critical thinking in any demographic is a very difficult thing to combat. Putin is more an ideologue than either Trump or Orban...he also is a master of conflating his interests, his personal regime survival and wealth with mythical existential threats to Russia and Russians. Orban's Hungary is closer example (Than Russia) of where America is headed under Trump...and make no mistake...it's a very close example.”

"Hungary Shows Us How a Second Trump Term Might Play Out"

Donald Trump has referred to Hungary’s autocratic prime minister, Viktor Orban, as “a great man, a great leader.” In this episode, the columnist M. Gessen, who is in exile from Vladimir Putin’s Russia, draws parallels between Trump, Orban and Putin. Gessen explores what life might look like in Trump’s next term and describes their fear that, this time, “people are going to retreat into their private lives and try to shut out the political world.”
