I don't consider this "maintaining democracy".
Hungary is a NATO country. Then again, so is Germany, but they had a natural gas pipeline get blown.

Imagine if one of these countries invoked Article 5 against another NATO member (I'll leave it to the audience to guess who that other NATO member is).

When Orban was re-elected last year, the USA appointed a new ambassador in Budapest - a gay, “married” man with two kids and his “husband” in tow

In your FACE, Hungary!

“Hungary is a NATO country. Then again, so is Germany...”

And yet they spy on us, and steal our secrets, and probably try to compromise our assets and run “influence” operations on us, just as we do to them, and as all allies do to each other in the modern world.

Color revolution? US funneling millions into Hungary’s left-wing opposition media

Yep, GloboHomoNazi can't Tolerate Hungary's Homo-Tranny Refusal.

We must have "Regime" Change and install GloboHomoNazi Authoritarian Shills.

“...the U.S. government was devoting the equivalent of 7 billion forints (€18.5 million) to “maintaining democracy” in Central Europe...”

In other words, $millions of our tax dollars to expand the Globohomo woke agenda. Instead of a putting a chicken in every pot, it’s putting a tranny teacher in every classroom.

We are the King Daddy of NATO. It’s our favorite power tool. We can blow up Germany’s pipelines and then publicly gloat about it (as Nuland it). And they have to grin and bear it in silence.

What we’re doing in Hungary is SOP and we do it in lots of countries. Been doing it for decades. Actually, it’s pretty mild compared to what we’ve done in some countries.

USAIDCIAAGENT Samantha Power visited Hungary in February:

Saturday, February 11, 2023
Readout

The following is attributable to USAID Spokesperson Jessica Jennings:

On February 9, Administrator Samantha Power arrived in Budapest and met with a group of young Hungarians to discuss their aspirations and perspectives on developments in Hungary. The young Hungarians and Administrator Power then walked together through historic central Budapest. During the walk, the Administrator noted that young people have the power to advance positive change through their energy, capacity to innovate, and willingness to work across traditional divisions.

On February 10, the Administrator began the day with a student-moderated discussion at Berzsenyi Dániel High School, where they discussed public service, the U.S.-Hungary relationship, and a range of foreign affairs and development issues. When Administrator Power asked the room of 200 students how they viewed their future, a student told her, “It’s up to us to make it positive.”

She then met with Hungarian governance and rights advocates, including representatives from the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, K-Monitor, Transparency International, and Eötvös Loránd University to discuss their work supporting democracy, transparency, and rights in Hungary. The Administrator highlighted USAID’s newly launched work to help support democracy in Central Europe, including by bolstering civil society and helping independent media thrive and build new audiences. Administrator Power also held a meeting with advocates for human rights and LGBTQI+ communities, where they discussed the experiences of LGBTQI+ people in Hungary and their efforts to increase understanding, support marginalized groups, and improve the lives of LGBTQI+ people in Hungary. The Administrator emphasized that the United States will continue to stand as an ally with LGBTQI+ people and all marginalized groups in their struggle for equality.

The Administrator met with Hungarian independent journalists and representatives of media-focused NGOs to discuss their commitment to reporting on issues of critical importance and views on how to address significant challenges to media freedom. They also discussed opportunities for expanding audiences and establishing sustainable revenue streams. On the steps of the historic Metropolitan Ervin Szabó Library, the Administrator then spoke with local and international media about the U.S.-Hungary relationship and USAID’s relaunched work in Hungary. Administrator Power also highlighted the life-saving work of Hungarian search and rescue teams that have deployed to Türkiye in response to this week’s earthquake.

At the U.S. Embassy, Administrator Power met with American and local staff, including USAID field staff based at the Embassy supporting USAID’s global humanitarian assistance work and Ukrainian staff who have been hosted by Embassy Budapest following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Administrator Power concluded her visit by meeting Hungarian Minister of Justice Judit Varga, Minister of Defense Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky, and Chair of the Hungarian Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee Zsolt Németh. Administrator Power, U.S. Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman, and the officials from the Government of Hungary engaged in a candid conversation about opportunities and challenges in the bilateral relationship, as well as the importance and impact of the long friendship between the American and Hungarian people.

Viktor Orban, Hungary’s Prime Minister, should order Samantha Power arrested for fomenting a Hungarian coup and have her permanently deported from the country or spend the rest of her miserable, communist life in a Hungarian prison. She has no business being in Hungary and stirring up trouble.

Samantha Power and her band of terrorists should be arrested and deported from Hungary. The actions of the US are completely unacceptable.

It’s just a continuation of the globalist’s war against nationalists, whether it be Orban, Trump, or Putin, the globalists want them all gone and will continue to demonize and attack them whenever possible.

The US government calls this interference ‘MAINTAINING DEMOCRACY’ the same crap they pulled in Ukraine and when Russia stepped in to put an end to it the handwringing began and as usual the poor people in the middle are suffering. And of course bless the righteous US and condemn bad, bad Russia. Don’t automatically assume that I am in love with Russia but neither am I enamored with those rainbow loving crooks in the District of Corruption.

How ridiculous is it for the Democrats to have whined about Russia trying to influence our elections when we’re pulling this?

China (and a great number of Chinese Americans) have stated they believe the 2019 Hong Kong protests were instigated by the CIA in an attempt to start a color revolution. The reason being that the BLM-like violence and vandalism of those protests was totally out of character for Hong Kong Chinese, even those who strongly oppose the CCP.

Of course, China retaliated by making sure the COVID lab leak got spread all over the world - so was the CCP really working with the CIA to achieve their joint aim of getting rid of Trump? Did the CIA beg Xi's forgiveness after their revolution failed and promise to help China get rid of their trade enemy, or was the revolution a joint venture all along? Many claimed much of the Hong Kong violence was carried out by CCP thugs acting like the Capitol Police on 1/6 - trying to bait the protestors into overreaching.

In any event, the cabal seems to think they can trigger globalist revolutions at will - anywhere they need to. And right now, they really need one in Hungary.
