Hungary is a socialist democracy in the process of being taken over by an ultra-nationalist dictatorship. They have had free education and health care for a while, but Orban is taking over the education system, and has all but gutted their health care.
The American right is snuggling up to him because the American right is being taken over by authoritarian ideas, pushing their conservatives ones aside.
Orban doesn't represent American conservative views, at all. He's not for small government, a free market, guaranteed rights and liberties, or strong democratic principles with lots of opportunity for those who work hard. He's for an intrusive one-party state, favored industries, the crushing of dissidents, and ethnic favoritism.
Any Americans who support him are making a mistake. He is blatantly anti-democratic.
