USA under #Trump 2.0 emerging as the most rapidly #autocratizing country, finds the Varieties of Democracy Institute Democracy Report 2026, confirming the earlier assessment of @jburnmurdoch. Speed of #backsliding outpaces the most paradigmatic cases. Scholars of Hungary, India, Russia, Serbia, Türkiye, now is the time to analyze American politics:

@vdeminstitute (3/7) Since 2009 the share of the world’s population living in #autocratizing countries has outnumbered the share living in #democratizing countries. In 2023, autocratization was ongoing in 42 countries, home to 2.8 billion people, or 35% of the world’s #population.

👉In contrast, the #Hungarian regime of PM #Orbán exploited the opportunities provided by the war on European soil to further strengthen his grip on power over the whole period, making #Hungary aside of #Russia the fastest #autocratizing country in the geography of @FH_NIT.

Even "Friends of #RuleOfLaw" Member States refrain from referring their #autocratizing EU-peers, like #Hungary or #Poland to the #CJEU, even if the legal venue to do so obviously exists.

#Germany has to learn from this case that they indeed determine the point of gravity in the @EUCouncil. They have 12 years long failed to take the right side, now they haven't. And sanctioning #autocratizing EU Member States became suddenly possible.

Third, because Member States once again don't have any better idea than kicking the can down the road. They would be ready to reward an #autocratizing regime playing the role of the #Russian's #TrojanHorse in the #EU, just to mitigate immediate blockade threats, ...

Asking it now is an emergency measure demonstrating how little understanding Member States have about the challenge posed by #Hungary's #autocratizing regime to the #EU.
In '#identity, #partisanship, #polarization-how politicians get away with #autocratizing their country' we cooperated with @MilanSvolik to apply his US experiment to 7 European countries (🇸🇪🇺🇦🇵🇱🇷🇸🇩🇪🇪🇪🇪🇸) &find out when voters punish or reward politicians for democratic violations

I think the key lessons learned here is that for #autocratizing regimes, regime stability is the top priority.
Simply said, it is more important to have #Orbán as ally in the conflict with EU institutions than to isolate the Kremlin's Trojan horse.

Second, #Kaczynski's assault underlines the obvious lesson that for #autocratizing governments, like those of #PiS in #Poland or #Orbán's #Fidesz in #Hungary, regime stability & domestic #autocratization are the primal political goals.
The #BidenAdministration is struggling since its inauguration with the question how to handle #autocratizing countries in the US alliance system, like #Poland & #Hungary
Meanwhile #Kaczynski & #Orbán do everything possible to make hard decisions in #Washington way much simpler 👇
US is reported to be considering travel bans for key figures in Poland's ruling party, incl. the President & the PM, reports @RMF24pl.
The escalation comes after the lower house of the Polish parliament passed a media law that could force US Discovery to sell assets in Poland.
Great to see that the @StateDept is not shying away from using the #MagnitskyAct against #autocratizing #EU member states.
Highest hopes that the #US will use the same timing and strategy in 2022 with regard to #Hungary as well.

I think her assessment should not be limited to #Russia, because it is valid in case of all assertive, #authoritarian or #autocratizing countries with a state-capitalist model, may that be #China, #Azerbaijan or even #Hungary
So it is high time to think broadly @EU_Commission
3/5
👉A plurality of projects with different methodology & institutional background come to the very same conclusions about the #authoritarian trends in countries like 🇭🇺 & 🇵🇱 which rather dismiss the criticism on alleged bias often heard from GOVs of #autocratizing countries.
The PR agency #R4S founded by former #PiS spokesperson #AdamHofman filed #SLAPP lawsuits against @gazeta_wyborcza @oko_press & @FReporterow.
A reminder that #EU #AntiSLAPP strategies are crucial to safeguard #MediaFreedom in #autocratizing member states.
@VeraJourova @OSCE_RFoM
PR agency R4S notified the prosecutor's office that https://t.co/KaRZlXy2PB, Gazeta Wyborcza, and Reporters' Foundation's journalists committed a crime. It'll take further legal action over sending out "defamatory questions" to the agency and its clients

If you offer podium for representatives of an #autocratizing regime like #Hungary, you have to guarantee that their counterparts in the debate can make their points and come to conclusion. 2/2

Effect of erosion of #democracy on #healthcare
@bmj_latest study:
#Autocratizing nations made less progress on universal #health care & resulted in higher out-of-pocket spending per capita than top democracies

@sdwigley @Tara_Templin @TomBollyky
#EU2020DE simply wants to get rid of the #RuleOfLaw #Conditionality file as fast and as smooth as possible, even by sacrificing the only tool that may put leverage on #autocratizing member states in the EU. That's not leadership from the center, that's simply fool cowardice.
