Doubtful. After one Trump term, sure, we could have chalked that up to a one off aberration. After them re-election him, I'm guessing it would take more than a few terms of them electing normal people.

It's a pendulum swing for a lot of nations. I see authoritarian conservative parties are winning elections across the globe. May be it takes a major event to turn the tide.

I hope that the Orban loss is the start of reversing that pendulum swing.
