Die relative Mehrheit der Befragten findet, dass die ÖVP für keine der genannten Themen besonders steht.
Anstatt ständig die Themen und Standpunkte der FPÖ zu kopieren, sollte sich die ÖVP eher darum bemühen, ihr eigenes Profil und ihre Kernkompetenz zu rehabilitieren.

I really admire people who love teaching and are good at it, because whenever I cover a class for someone, I feel as if I turn into an unintelligible donkey, even on topics I should know inside out 🤷🏻♀️

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

It's worth noting that the ongoing normalisation of remigration plans in Europe is happening at a time when the Trump administration has turned "remigration" into an official national policy objective, and we can all witness the violence and illegality that this entails.

After 40 years, the Communist Party (KPÖ) managed to win a seat in the municipal council of St Pölten, the capital of Lower Austria, which reminds me I should continue working on my paper comparing the radical left and right in local elections..

It's worth highlighting, again and again, that several House Democrats without a backbone voted alongside Republicans this week to approve the DHS funding bill, which funds ICE, among others.
Here Are All the Democrats Who Voted to Keep Funding ICE
Seven Democratic lawmakers are apparently fine with what ICE has been doing.

One of the most enraging and frustrating parts of this whole situation is that mainstream media here reports the narratives and lies of DHS and the administration as if they were a reliable, measured source (which they obviously aren't)

Zeigt gut, warum die Übernahme von FPÖ-Positionen problematisch ist.
1) weil es die Grenzen weiter verschiebt und FPÖ-Politik normalisiert
2) weil es der FPÖ nie weit genug geht und sie extremere Forderungen stellt
Ein Teufelskreis, immer auf Kosten der Menschenrechte und der liberalen Demokratie.

Continuing with Cooper's "Family Values" and Butler's "Who's Afraid of Gender?"
Reading them alongside each other, because that makes sense to me for reasons I can't quite articulate yet.

I wrote something about Orbán's foreign policy balancing act not too long ago here: hungarianobserver.substack.com/p/orbans-for...
I'd suggest not looking for a coherent ideology in Hungary's foreign policy, as Orbán mostly does what, in one way or another, benefits Orbán (and his bunch).
