The American conservative movement has a strange love affair with Hungary’s authoritarian leader Viktor Orban – so much so that next month the biggest annual event in conservative politics will be held in Budapest. In this episode, Andy explores the religious and cultural roots of Orban-mania, and talks about why Hungary is a poor model for the United States.
