When politicians hire campaign consultants, they are not managed by them. That hardline European nationalist parties have their most popular positions co-opted by centre-right parties & lose ground to them, is not a phenomenon we need Republican campaign consultants to explain

If you take them too seriously, you end up believing ridiculous things, like incidental facts about campaign consultants that Orbán hired 10 years ago explains the better part of Hungarian right-wing politics.
What’s more, this manic focus on connections between people, rather than what they actually portend, means you get a lot of this backwards, or just wrong. i.e., Orbán’s government lobbying the US becomes American campaigns consultants managing Orbán’s party.

And what you do here. Why must we decide between these two (not even mutually exclusive) hypotheses? I can imagine about fifty others, I’m sure you can too. https://t.co/3La1DMJYpi

But at base, your problem is that you are trying to build a *theory of European nationalist politics* on the back of miscellaneous contextless information about campaign consultants.
