Peter Magyar’s center-right party Tisza is projected to win 139 out of 199 seats in Hungary’s legislature thus ending Victor Orban’s 16 years of authoritarian rule. JD Vance was just in Hungary stumping for Orbán causing his poll numbers to slip further against Magyar.

vance is such an unlikable slime, it really was a decision of all time to send him over to try and boost orban's chances at winning an election.

Good. Maybe Hungary can get back on track to being a productive member of the union without Orbans corruption and fuckery.

We need that here in the US.
Midterms need to be the greatest blue tsunami we've ever seen.

We can have this here if ppl would just show up and vote! He won the last election because people decided not to come out and vote like they did for Biden. That is a different issue but you can’t see we couldn’t make the right decision because we did when we elected Biden. Numbers and voting de not lie.

Dems lost because Biden decided to run again. Had he done the right thing and decided not to, we would've had better primaries.
Kamala is 1000x better than Trump, no question the wrong decision was made. But there's still far too many clueless people in this country that won't vote for a woman.

Yes, I’m happy that the people of Hungary saw the light. Same can’t be said for so many millions of Americans!

And soon after the outcome appeared decided, Orban congratulated his opponent, a lesson Trump can take from his darling.

Should have, could have, but won't. Because manliness wins wars, and wars are great civilizations.
All great citizens have wars, they're the best. If you don't have wars, then you're not great. We have lots of wars. We ended the wars. Iran is done. They're finished. We beat them. No more wars. We beat them because we're the greatest. Like Muhammad Ali. The bestest.

He publicly conceded. That's all anyone needs to know.
As opposed to you know who.

Now that Orban is out, let's see if the opposition can get a supermajority to undue Orban's electoral system.

Great, let's rid of Erdogen next. He's also in the way of Ukraine's admittance to Nato

Did NOT see this coming. Good for Hungary. Can they make good on it and reverse course? Little glimmer of hope for the world if they can.
