The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Republican Senator Thom Tillis said the first ad was something he would expect from Viktor Orban.

I immediately thought of Viktor Orban as soon as I saw this last ad because they were the same type of thing he did before finally losing his last election earlier this year. He spent 235 million euros of Hungarian taxpayer money on propaganda campaign material that his government labeled “governmental information campaigns.” He paid for billboards across Hungary, and he also paid for ads to be played during soccer matches that aired on state media. This may actually be where Trump and his enablers got the idea in the first place, as Trump had considered Orban a friend and carefully followed his rise and fall from power.
