The world's largest bureaucracy (EU) will continue with its bullying of everyone with different opinions. In a worst case scenario, this won't be optional, and they will cancel everyone with different opinions, like Hungary and Poland.
It's a bit like California v.s. Alabama situation. Also, not limited to Poland and Hungary, it pans along the West v.s. East, so it's like North vs South in the US.
For example, EU says you have right to bring your partner to EU. Then Denmark says that you can register a long term relationship and have the full rights without a formal marriage, Poland will say that you need to marry.
It also goes beyond the social issues as the strong leaders tend to mangle with the judiciary system to make their ways and EU is really not happy about it. When that happens, the countries get fined and their leaders will bash EU in a similar way like some American politician bash the federal government.
On a side note I am not sure if that username complies with HN TOS.

The human rights of LGBT people and refugees or the right to freedom of the press or to a fair trial in front of an independent court are valid EU wide, guaranteed by the contracts that Hungary and Poland signed when they joined the EU.
Opposing these human rights is not an "opinion", it's an assault on the core values that make up the European Union - and the rest of the EU (particularly Germany, given that the former Chancellor's party was a sister party of the Fidesz for a long time!) has stayed silent for far too long.
If consensus is apparently not desired we can go back to the European patchwork where the rules change significantly every 100km and doing trade is 10x harder.
Or opinions such as the government take-over of all independent broadcasters in Poland.
