I remember watching documentaries about Hungary on YouTube back around 2010-2012. We were all worried then that it would happen here. Hungary and (Russia) and how they treated political rivals. That's when I started voting consistently. Not that it mattered. I used to point to Hungary as an example of what could happen here. The Daily show even talked about them when Trump first came to power in 2016. It was always there but we were always looking elsewhere.
Hungary is much smaller than the US though, even if it is mostly empty, like Russia.
