      1. The cult of Orban on the right has many sources, one strand of which is religion. Long before Carlson's pilgrimage to Budapest, white evangelicals were hailing Orban as a savior who figured out how to overcome the dreaded "demographic winter" of white decline.

      2. "Demographic winter" is shorthand for the fear that the richer (white) countries aren't having enough babies and so will have to take in more immigrants. It's a big source of anxiety among white evangelicals

      3. Orban has shrewdly courted white evangelicals, seeing them as a bridge to GOP and thus American foreign policy. In 2017, Orbán hosted in Budapest a meeting of the World Congress of Families, an important religious right group.

          4. The policy strands behind this (anti-LGBTQ, anti-reproductive freedom, pro-natalist, anti-immigrant) are all designed to strengthen the dominance of white family. For more on this I talked to @sarahposner who has covered story for years.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-the-hidden-history-of-religious?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

          Why do they always hide under the religious cloth of "families" to do the greatest social heinousness? Family is about love. As Voltaire said: Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool. And, whoever can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

          These people view families as miniature fiefdoms, where fathers hold absolute dominion over their wives and children are treated as property. They obsess over protecting this "traditional family" structure because it is a microcosm of the country they want to live in.

          It’s worked for Israel.
