They are because being kicked out of the EU requires unanimous vote and hungary and poland just veto eachother into the EU. Nobody expected two states to become fascist at the same time when the EU was created.

This kind of exaggeration surely doesn't help the cause either.

Anti-democratic ethnic nationalism doesn't sound as catchy and fascism is a historically loaded term.

Anti-democratic may also not be the best term when a majority of the people more or less support what you do. Illiberal, populist, protectionist, sure, but these do not sound nearly as bad.

Authoritarian is a more descriptive term than anti-democratic.
