Abstract
Since the 2010s, culture wars have increasingly become the language of political conflict in Central Europe (CE). The last presidential election in
Poland and Slovakia, and polarized general elections in Hungary, revolved around liberalism, gender ideology, the social legitimacy of public homosexuality, gay adoption rights, and abortion-much like in the United
States (U.S.). All over CE, political stands on cultural issues now appear more important than positions on taxes, pensions, and budgets (when we leave out the war in Ukraine, of course).
