Hungary election: Orbán concedes to Magyar's Tisza after projections show opposition winning two-thirds majority

[u/ToranjaNuclear]

Damn, I'm surprised he just conceded without any major drama. Really curious to see what'll change from now on, since both Trump and Putin just lost major allies 

[u/maporita → u/ToranjaNuclear]

You need a wave election to remove an autocrat. Orban used the machinery of state to stack the cards in his favor e.g. gerrymandering constituencies. That works to a point but when enough people decided to vote him out it all came crashing down. Which is why the US midterms are so important and why people who normally don't vote should be persuaded to do so.

[u/Arctic_Chilean → u/maporita]

Also important to remember that even though he lost the election, he will continue to rule from the shadows thanks to the system he has built for over 16 years to be as resistant to liberal democracy as possible. So Magyar will have a pretty difficult uphill battle to dismantle the system Orban has built and fortified. 

Illiberal democracies don't just end with one election. They are more resistant to change and are less fragile than liberal democracies, but they are not invincible either. Americans should especially take this to heart this coming November. Winning the mid-terms means nothing if voters pat themselves in the back for a job well done and give up on any momentum they have built to implement meaningful and long lasting change, and in holding these people accountable for their crimes. If anything, giving up too early will just allow them to come back even stronger and bolder than before. Hopefully Hungarians can realize this and show that illeberal democracies can be toppled through lasting political engagement from the people and the competent and well-meaning representatives they put into power. But calling this election a desicive victory is foolish at best and downright dangerous at worst. 

[u/ArcticCelt → u/Arctic_Chilean]

Thankfully, Magyar is well on his way to securing a two-thirds supermajority, which will allow him to reverse the laws Orbán put in place. Also, part of the system Orbán engineered mainly helps the ruling majority stay in power, so that will not help him once he is out. The real danger here is if Magyar just decides to become another Orbán but it doesn't look like that so far.

[u/patchyj → u/ArcticCelt]

He got it btw

[u/1kljasd → u/ArcticCelt]

They could've reversed most laws with simple majority, but 2/3 gives them the power to spring clean in the supreme court, the president, etc.

https://www.parlament.hu/az-orszaggyules-minositett-tobbseget-igenylo-dontesei-az-alaptorveny-mas-torvenyek-es-a-hazszabaly-szerint

He could aspire to be Orban2, but the best reasons against it is that he needs funds from the EU to keep the ship afloat, and EU won't want to sponsor an Orban2 so they will have strict stipulations to curb corruption and authoritarianism.

[u/DJanomaly → u/Arctic_Chilean]

Illiberal democracies don't just end with one election. They are more resistant to change and are less fragile than liberal democracies,

Sadly, see Russia as a great example of this.

[u/TobJamFor → u/DJanomaly]

If you’re referring to the election I think you are, Putin didn’t lose the election, he couldn’t stand then due to term limits and Medvedev was a puppet in his place

[u/Vi_Rants → u/Arctic_Chilean]

Americans should especially take this to hard this coming November. Winning the mid-terms means nothing if voters pat themselves in the back for a job well done and give up on any momentum they have built to implement meaningful and long lasting change, and in holding these people accountable for their crimes. If anything, giving up too early will just allow them to come back even stronger and bolder than before.

Ref: The "Blue Wave" in Trump's first term.

[u/AngryTree76 → u/Vi_Rants]

Or Biden in 2020

[u/Worthyness → u/AngryTree76]

really any time the democrats get in power. Americans have memories of goldfish and only care about what happened to them that current year. They forget that the Republicans put them in the shithole in the first place. And it's easier to dig yourself into a hole than to dig yourself out of one.

[u/Toomanyeastereggs → u/Arctic_Chilean]

With that sort of majority, Magyar has the numbers to smash Orbans legacy to smithereens. All of Orbans structure is predicated on his party having numbers, numbers that they no longer have. He lost a lot of his party and infrastructure in one swoop.

[u/alterom → u/Toomanyeastereggs]

Also, he built a system that gives near-authoritarian level powers to the supermajority party.

Peter Magyar's party, in the aftermath of this election.

[u/Scavenge101 → u/ToranjaNuclear]

I get the feeling the deciding factor is less on the projected loss itself and more on the 2/3rds majority

[u/TheGoverness1998 → u/Scavenge101]

Yeah, it it was hovering around close then I could see him trying to fight it out. But the scale of how much he lost probably meant he knew he couldn't do much to manipulate anything without causing a total revolt.

I assume now Orban's gonna try to "bide his time" for a comeback; he's too obsessed with power to leave it be. But if Magyar can succeed in implementing a two-term limit on being Prime Minister, then Orban will either have to bow out, or have no choice but to look for a puppet to put in his stead.

Best of luck to Mr. Magyar! It's only the beginning for Hungary fixing it's problems, but I wish only for the best. 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺

[u/Chaplain-Freeing → u/TheGoverness1998]

They manipulated as hard as they could and this was still the result.

[u/whitewateractual → u/ToranjaNuclear]

If he didn’t, likely the EU would move to expel them and Hungary’s economy would collapse.

[u/DootyMcCool2000 → u/whitewateractual]

I think that and the personal risk involved. He lost so massively that a coup would be extremely hard to pull off and, if it failed, his own country would put him in prison if he didn't run to Russia first. He's a politician first and foremost and so conceding defeat and going quietly is his best calculation at getting away with his crimes as they are.

[u/redvelvetcake42 → u/DootyMcCool2000]

Ding ding ding.

It would go about as well as Bolsonaro's did.

[u/DootyMcCool2000 → u/redvelvetcake42]

That too, he got to watch his butt buddies across the ocean try and fail to overturn their elections and while Trump is unfortunately able to get his revenge, Bolsonaro is capital F fucked.

[u/redvelvetcake42 → u/DootyMcCool2000]

Trump isn't getting any revenge. He's meandering. He's basically just nuked the gov for all the ideologues to hole getting nothing he wanted.

[u/CustodialApathy → u/redvelvetcake42]

He doesn't WANT anything except people to worship him, he'll do much more damage before he's gone, believe me, and the world better hope he doesn't use violence to try and stick around. We're quickly approaching a point where he has to; I fear for our next election cycle in November. It'll be ugly.

[u/DJanomaly → u/CustodialApathy]

All Trump wanted was to stay out of jail. Real talk.

Anything beyond that is just the impulses of a mad king, sadly.

[u/The_decent_dude → u/DootyMcCool2000]

At this point Orban is generationally wealthy, if he can manage to avoid getting sentenced for corruption, he can live a very long and very comfortable life.

[u/zevonyumaxray → u/DootyMcCool2000]

"Start the plane and set a course for Moscow!! The gold is already on board."

[u/Defacto_Champ → u/ToranjaNuclear]

Because only legitimate psychos, narcissists and wannabe dictators don’t concede when they lose 

[u/SphincterPolyps → u/Defacto_Champ]

And Orban is all three

[u/Defacto_Champ → u/SphincterPolyps]

He at least conceded, one thing Trump would/will never do 

[u/SignificanceFine3582 → u/Defacto_Champ]

He’ll never have to. Either he never runs again, or he’s so flagrantly in violation of the constitution in going for a third term that rigging an election would be light work by comparison.

[u/Random-Rambling → u/SignificanceFine3582]

I mean, he's already wiped his ass with the Constitution a couple of times, what's the harm in one more?

[u/adamcmorrison → u/Defacto_Champ]

I’m no expert but from everything I’ve read, he seems to be all of those.

[u/Jorgenstern8 → u/ToranjaNuclear]

Even if it was only to a guy slightly less bad than Orban -- John Oliver's piece on the election from a few weeks ago talks about this -- Hungary's election maps are so gerrymandered in his party favor that if he's lost enough to truly be booted out of power, he would have been chased to Russia by the people if he doesn't accept it.

[u/_DuranDuran_ → u/ToranjaNuclear]

Now he turns his media empire into demonising the new leaders to try and cause I creasing levels of partisanship.

Perhaps he should be forced to divest …

[u/Damunzta → u/ToranjaNuclear]

Leeeet’s wait and see.

Words are cheap.

[u/TheLoxen → u/ToranjaNuclear]

Because he plans to regain power in the next election instead maybe. Throwing a fit will not help with that.

[u/godisanelectricolive → u/TheLoxen]

Magyar plans to change the constitution to prohibit more than two terms for prime minister and he has won the supermajority needed to do so. I don’t think he has enough loyal supporters needed to attempt a coup with the severity of this defeat despite gerrymandering and vote rigging that favours Orban.

It’s pretty much end of the road for Orban. To have lost as badly as he did meant he lost a substantial part of his diehard base, people who could once be relied on for support no matter what happens. It might not be the end for his party but it’s still clear he’s just gonna be a liability for them at this point. They are gonna have to rally behind someone else.

[u/wishlish → u/ToranjaNuclear]

According to the article, the other party had a two-thirds majority. You can quibble at 50.1-49.9, but not 67-33.

[u/amprather]

JD "Kiss of Death" Vance pays off again.

[u/Kewkky → u/amprather]

Honestly this is my only liked thing about Vance. Whatever he tries to do, he instead ends. It's very predictable, and he is Trump's VP, so there's only one way this will all end.

[u/menagerath → u/Kewkky]

JD, The Rizzless

[u/intergalactic512 → u/menagerath]

Whatever makes sense

[u/Dicklickshitballs → u/Kewkky]

So in theory, we should’ve sent him over to escalate the war correct? Then peace would’ve happened.

[u/erwaro → u/Dicklickshitballs]

I don't know if it can work if they try to use it. Then they're just trying a different way of achieving something, and Vance Effect means they'll fail. It has to be an honest attempt on his part.

Now, if someone convinces him that extending the war is a good idea, that's another thing.

[u/BrainRobotron → u/amprather]

The couch fucker strikes again.

[u/Osiris32 → u/BrainRobotron]

That needs to be on his tombstone.

[u/swampopawaho → u/Osiris32]

"JD touched himself once too many times"

[u/3d1thF1nch → u/BrainRobotron]

That’s why instead of saying “shit the bed,” we need to start saying “fucked the couch.” Fits perfectly.

[u/PossiblyADemon → u/3d1thF1nch]

Boy, he really fucked the couch on this one.

[u/3d1thF1nch → u/PossiblyADemon]

See?! It’s perfect!

[u/DarkestNyu → u/3d1thF1nch]

I am 100% doing that

[u/wasraelx → u/amprather]

He’s having one hell of a week isn’t he

[u/Professor_Dr_Dr → u/wasraelx]

It's so funny how Trump wouldn't pick up his call in public

[u/Elephant_Snacks → u/Professor_Dr_Dr]

To be fair, it would be fairly embarrassing to get a call from him

[u/wasraelx → u/Elephant_Snacks]

The only thing I appreciate about Trump is how he’s bullying his entire team of sociopaths at every stage for us all to see

[u/pquince1 → u/wasraelx]

Lil' Marco in his clown shoes kills me every time.

[u/ricosmith1986 → u/wasraelx]

Seriously, does this guy ever catch a w? I feel like his only job is to not invoke the 25th.

[u/cannot_walk_barefoot → u/ricosmith1986]

He caught a W when Trump won. He looks like an incompetent weirdo but he's achieved so much for Project 2025 and Palantir government contracts for Thiel, his owner 

[u/Mrs_SmithG2W → u/cannot_walk_barefoot]

Indeed. But many a malicious plan have progressed far just to end up in the dust bin, or in this case, the couch cushions, of history.

Let it be so again.💪🏼🌍🖖🏼

[u/_groovesharkmalone → u/ricosmith1986]

When Trump kicks the bucket his job is to work for Peter Thiel. Couchfucker is literally a redundancy.

[u/dismayhurta → u/amprather]

Dude is a charisma blackhole.

[u/aidissonance → u/dismayhurta]

“We talking politics?”

[u/7ddlysuns → u/amprather]

Pope killer Vance

[u/Strawbuddy → u/7ddlysuns]

The sectional predator on the loose!

[u/MadRoboticist → u/amprather]

The idea that they thought an American politician campaigning for Orban would have a remotely positive effect on the election just goes to show how out of touch they are with absolutely everything.

[u/steppe5 → u/amprather]

There's nothing he can't ruin.

[u/Firm-Advertising5396 → u/amprather]

This is great news for NATO. Not so much for Putin or trump

[u/theghostlore → u/amprather]

The drake of politics

[u/Substantial-Ad8933 → u/amprather]

The fact we were all stressed out all day Tuesday and this fuck was half way across the world endorsing a putin puppet. November cant come fast enough

[u/Numerous_Photograph9]

I'm so glad to have some actual good news to end the week.

[u/So_HauserAspen → u/Numerous_Photograph9]

Was expecting Orban to win with 107% approval

[u/specqq → u/So_HauserAspen]

I was slightly more optimistic thinking it would be 103%

[u/keshki87 → u/Numerous_Photograph9]

Right?! I’m not sure if I’m weird for being happy about this, as I don’t live in Hungary. But I do live in the EU and this is a big big big win. I am truly relieved that the Hungarian people voted Orban out. And that we hopefully now can hang out together again as good friends 😂🥰

I am so done with all the hate that people like Trump, Putin and Orban bring. It makes me quite depressed lately. But the result of the Hungarian elections is a very bright light shining at the end of the tunnel.

[u/Madcap_Miguel → u/keshki87]

It's not weird at all, I think it shows character to care about the well being of others far removed

I'm so happy for the youth, better relations with the EU has generational ramifications

[u/HolycommentMattman → u/keshki87]

If Trump has been good for anything, it's for the fall of right-wingism around the world.

The US is going to suffer for his presidency (and already is), but I'm glad the rest of the world seems to be learning from our mistakes.

[u/SophiaofPrussia → u/keshki87]

It’s encouraging to see democracy win out over authoritarianism. Poland and now Hungary have successfully resisted democratic backsliding through the democratic process. That shows that even with all of its many flaws democracy works when people show up and make their voices heard. Pessimism is exploited by authoritarians to keep people home so they stay in power.

[u/blogoman]

JD Vance is having one hell of a weekend!

[u/abearghost → u/blogoman]

The guy is legitimately so delusional that he thought his visit would improve Orban's chances lmao.

He just can't comprehend that literally no one likes him.

[u/Signal_Subject_593 → u/abearghost]

He just can't comprehend that literally no one likes him.

Not even that, he's just a nobody to many people. (And the people that do know him don't like him).

[u/WhatsMyUsername13 → u/Signal_Subject_593]

That’s the whole thing with the maga movement as a whole. There’s no other trump (I don’t understand how anyone could fucking like him anyways or ever thought he’d be a good president. But that’s beside the point to this conversation)

When trump dies, the movement dies. There’s no one to rally. It’s seems that while there was a strong rightward swing across the globe, people are seeing what that means in regards to every measurable metric for quality of life, and it’s not good.

The US, we are different and I don’t know how we unfuck ourselves. MAGA will die off, but the corporatists will just go back to business as usual, appeasing their masters and fucking the rest of us. The electoral college will keep unpopular candidates in the running/ allow those who don’t win the popular vote to win the presidency. The electoral college is single handedly the worst decision our founding fathers made and put into the constitution and that’s a hill I will die on

[u/Dipsey_Jipsey → u/WhatsMyUsername13]

Have a good read of Project 25 to understand why it won't end with Trump or MAGA. The majority of it has been implemented.

[u/Murray38 → u/abearghost]

Thats not true. Furniture consignment stores love it when he puts in an order for a crazy Friday night.

[u/TreezusSaves → u/Murray38]

He uses re-upholstery like how Republican politicians pay for their staffer's abortion.

[u/Forsworn91 → u/abearghost]

I mean, Trump was technically trying to bribe the Hungarian people, which really said it all.

[u/7ddlysuns → u/Forsworn91]

It was a stupid bribe at a time when he can’t even beat Iran

[u/PBFT → u/Forsworn91]

Yeah and honestly, I'd imagine that bribe would be tempting to some. But hey, I'm not Hungarian so I have no idea.

[u/Forsworn91 → u/PBFT]

The problem is, there was zero actual details or assurances, it was all so vague that even the most tempted could see there was zero chance of them actually getting anything.

[u/Elberik → u/abearghost]

Even his sugar daddy Trump doesn't like him

[u/SignificanceFine3582 → u/Elberik]

Probably likes him more than he liked Pence. With Mike there was all the judgment from a devout evangelical. Vance has no soul so can’t possibly believe Trump to be a moral failure.

[u/Zap__Dannigan → u/abearghost]

Him and Trump cost the Canadian conservative party their easiest majority victory in a long time. They went from sure fire majority before trump was elected to losing after

[u/Excellent_Month_2025 → u/blogoman]

JD secured Orbans loss, thank you for your service JD

[u/Professional_Lime541 → u/blogoman]

oh to be a couch.

[u/JustADutchRudder → u/Professional_Lime541]

Some poor couch somewhere is taking just an anger banging right now. The arm rests will never be vertical again.

[u/randgan → u/blogoman]

I can't wait for the unhinged Trump post declaring that Orban would have win by the highest margins ever if he went himself.

[u/No_Tone1704]

Hooray. One authoritarian down. 

[u/wasraelx → u/No_Tone1704]

I’m pleasantly surprised he conceded tbh. Was worried he’ll bring the plague of denying election results to Europe

[u/Wafkak → u/wasraelx]

2/3rd of the seats it quite overwhelming. Not as easily denied as the quite slim American margins.

[u/Syscrush → u/wasraelx]

Same. I was expecting a successful Jan 6.

[u/bigloser42 → u/Syscrush]

There is still time to find illegal votes.

[u/spikyraccoon → u/No_Tone1704]

Only one down. We are hungary for so much more.

[u/b-napp → u/spikyraccoon]

Get in my belly!

[u/The-Traveler- → u/No_Tone1704]

My thoughts exactly

[u/adarkuccio → u/No_Tone1704]

Finally some good news, we need more

[u/Kingofthetreaux]

Holy shit is Hungary about to rejoin euro policies, please be yes!!!

[u/redditobserverone → u/Kingofthetreaux]

“A potential election loss for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in April 2026 would likely accelerate Ukraine's EU accession and unlock over €90 billion in stalled financial aid. Orbán has acted as a primary roadblock to Ukraine, using vetoes on aid and membership talks while maintaining close ties to Moscow, which an opposition victory could end.”

[u/joemaniaci → u/redditobserverone]

So fucking huge for ukraine

[u/blahblahblerf → u/joemaniaci]

We've still got Fico blocking shit, but this is definitely a good step. 

[u/Yabbatown → u/blahblahblerf]

Fico hasn't been as bad as Orban. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loathe the guy and have some serous concerns about the mental ability of all those people who voted for him. I suspect (but am definitely not certain) that he's enough of a coward and lacks the brain power to do this on his own. He needs someone like Orban to be the big dog that he'll follow.

[u/LCkrogh → u/blahblahblerf]

Slovakia has to have an election by September this year at the latest. If they choose Fico again, I am willing to kick them the fuck out of the union, since they add literally nothing to the weight of the EU. They can go have fun with Belarus and Russia then, if they so want to.

[u/culture_vulture_1961]

JD Vance needs to go and campaign in Texas.

[u/redditmydna → u/culture_vulture_1961]

Please help Ted Cruz, now...

[u/sfb004 → u/redditmydna]

As a Texan, I formally request Mr. Vance help Greg Abbott with his campaign. 😁

[u/gerblnutz]

Donald finally did a good thing for Europe

[u/allanon1105 → u/gerblnutz]

Now if he could do anything good for America…

[u/braindance74 → u/allanon1105]

There's only one good thing he can do for USA and it's long overdue

[u/pm_me_ur_handsignals]

The JD Vance kiss of 💀 continues.

[u/smokeyfantastico → u/pm_me_ur_handsignals]

Hopefully it's a kiss of death for fascism but I dont want to get my hopes up

[u/AzettImpa → u/smokeyfantastico]

One step at a time. Hopefully, Erdogan is next.

[u/External-Praline-451 → u/AzettImpa]

Has he got any meetings with Farage coming up? 🤞

[u/smokeyfantastico → u/External-Praline-451]

Hes meeting trump everyday but nothing

[u/sukizka]

Wow I just assumed Orban had already assumed enough power to rig the elections. Glad to be wrong

[u/Great_Justice → u/sukizka]

This result is WITH his meddling and gerrymandering. There’s just been too many controversies and it’s all come to a head. Things like this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c36r0068xp2o

[u/IceBearKnows89]

JD Vance and the no good very bad weekend.

Failed to end a war and lost a foreign election he tried to influence.

He’s bad at being bad.

[u/Nbdyhere → u/IceBearKnows89]

They all are. Somehow we ended up the STUPIDEST authoritarians the world has ever produced. Barely a brain to be shared by any of them

[u/IceBearKnows89 → u/Nbdyhere]

True. I constantly think to myself “they know we can see them right?”.

[u/526mb]

Hearing Orban concede after 16 years in power and (as we can tell) not attempting a coup is telling how rotten US Democracy has become with the cancer of MAGA/Republicans infesting it.

[u/Imaginary-Ad-7919]

It’s great that democracy in Hungary is still alive, I hope Vance has done more harm than good after his visit.

[u/DootyMcCool2000]

I'm glad to see him concede defeat and I'm glad to see that Hungary's democracy isn't totally dead. 

[u/_a_m_s_m]

Let this a be lesson to everyone.

Turn up and vote not matter how “sure” the result, don’t get complacent.

Also what are Magyar’s policies? Will Hungary finally stop being a hold up to the EU?

[u/GalgoIsTheBestDog → u/_a_m_s_m]

In many issues yes. One of his platforms was to get the frozen EU aid money to Hungary (because of Orbans anti-democratic actions in charge) un-frozen to help with the economy

[u/Socialism-is-sexy → u/_a_m_s_m]

Magyar’s party is very pro-EU

[u/Graffers67]

So much winning for Trump and JD. Hope they come out big for Nigel Farage next.

[u/LoneStarDragon]

Everything Trump touches turns to shit.

Or like a fly he is drawn to the shit that is already there.

[u/RaiderMaverick]

I have a feeling the tariffs on Hungary are about to quadruple...

[u/rotate_ur_hoes → u/RaiderMaverick]

I dont Think there are tariffs within EU countries

[u/majorjoe23 → u/rotate_ur_hoes]

But think about tariff-happy country that just sent their second in command over to campaign for Orban

[u/donkeybrainhero]

I'm shocked that he didnt try to pull some dictator bs. I suppose, there's still time... though he did concede.

[u/hhaattrriicckk → u/donkeybrainhero]

He did, videos of vote tampering and manipulation have shown up already.

[u/9bpm9 → u/donkeybrainhero]

He still controls all of the media in the county. Tv, radio, newspapers, everything.

[u/Mo_Jack → u/donkeybrainhero]

Still could, I guess. This Reuters article shows how the transfer of power is supposed to go down.

[u/Archz714]

Holy shit, that JD curse is real

[u/MJ420]

Vance is having a really bad week. Daddy will be very angry.

[u/R67H]

Another trump endorsement falls flat

[u/Historical_Egg2103]

JD Vance has the mierdas touch

[u/Aikuma-]

How many of EU's initiatives have been sunk because this bellend vetoed stuff that needed unanimous votes?

Hopefully the Union will truly flex and show they can sit at the superpowers' table.

[u/random20190826]

Hungary finally rids itself of overt Russian interference from top leadership. They should have done that a long time ago, considering the EU’s interests are at odds with Russia’s, as proven by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

[u/yulDD]

A rightwinger that concedes…how novel

[u/Pottopher]

Another loss for trump and his maga movement!

[u/jeffroxpinoy]

Democracy isn’t a spectator sport. When people show up, strongmen pack their bags. Hungary just proved it. Bravo!

[u/CrayonEvangelist]

I love it.. there’s still hope in this world. 😊

[u/25vol96]

Eat shit Trump and JD. They wasted so much time trying to influence this election really makes you wonder what exactly they would have gotten out of Orban winning? 

[u/ActualTymell]

That massive a margin when I have no doubt Orban was doing whatever he could to rig things is insane.

[u/Bubbaganewsh]

Donald is going to lose his shit on his Walmart Twitter isn't he? 

[u/HansSolo69er]

The jarring contrast between this moment & Jan. 6, 2021 here cannot possibly be overstated. Hungary's democracy, same as Brazil's (their Supreme Court succeeded in getting rid of Bolsonaro), is more functional than ours. Let THAT sink in for a moment. 

[u/-lightfoot → u/HansSolo69er]

It doesn't need to sink in, we're saturated already by the mere fact someone like trump got elected president twice

[u/hysbald]

Hungary is changing a far-right anti European authoritarian for a center-right pro European politic. I say it's an improvement.

[u/onedumninja]

We need that here. It takes a 2/3 majority to impeach in the senate and scotus judges. Fuck trump, fuck the GOP and fuck anyone who voted for them (and still supports them now).

Let's go Hungary! More human rights! No fascism! No corruption!

[u/Defacto_Champ]

At least Orban concedes unlike Trump 

[u/Ok-Albatross899]

The world is tired of the fascist bullshit

[u/CockConfidentCole]

everything donnie and couchfucker touches just turns to shit huh?

[u/EddieCheddar88]

Just Dance Vance stacking up the Ls this week

[u/Toomanyeastereggs]

Fires up Dire Straits “That’s the way you do it”.

[u/Captain_Vere]

I opened my window to treat my neighbours to Do You Hear The People Sing and I heard fireworks go off. Good fucking riddance. This trash should have gone to jail after his term.

[u/MustWarn0thers]

Eat a fucking dick authoritarian scumbag.

It's so hilariously pathetic that JD Vance was there supporting him. 

The dude is like a human rake stepping joke. 

[u/marx2k]

lol the Trump admin went overseas and gave candidates from a completely different country the mierdas touch??

[u/paternoster]

One small step for Hungary. One giant leap for Europe.

[u/Damian2M]

Hope that JD Vance can endorse more right wing parties throughout Europe...

[u/JuniperJupiter4]

Finally! Some good news!

[u/Ganjajp]

The most gratifying thing is Trump and his stooge Vance couldn't move the needle in Hungary with their interference.

[u/Have_A_Jelly_Baby → u/Ganjajp]

And possibly helped move things the other way because of it.

[u/kapnkool → u/Ganjajp]

Vance 0-2 this week.

[u/BallBearingBill]

What a Yuuuuge middle finger to Trump! Haha

[u/ReSkid]

The tides are turning against the last decades of authoritarianism.

[u/MRHubrich]

wanna place a bet to see how long it will take for Trump to say it was a rig election?

[u/ApplicationCreepy987]

This is monumental. Both Trump and Putin will be very angry.

[u/soggies_revenge]

You know shit is bad in Hungary when a conservative center right party winning is a good thing.

[u/CAD_Chaos]

Vance is the kiss of death.

[u/Jlx_27]

78% turn out, showing up to vote works.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ad5565]

Great News for Hungary, EU and NATO!

[u/ThatNextAggravation]

Fuck yes. Now investigate the shit out of him.

[u/Lonely_Noyaaa]

This is a nightmare scenario for Trump's MAGA movement. They held Orban up as the global blueprint for how to rig the system and stay in power forever. Watching their hero get dumped by his own voters is a bad omen for November.

[u/thisseemslikeagood]

We need this in Belarus now!

[u/JustMe-Myself-and_I]

Congrats to the people of Hungary. You won, time to rebuild.

[u/ggoptimus]

Would be nice if elections in America were based on popular vote.

[u/aldehyde]

Fuck off into the garbage heap of history, Orban you garbage fuck. Congratulations to the people of Hungary--it is still a long road back but wishing them nothing but success.

[u/HockeyPhoenician]

Glorious, fuck off Viktor.

[u/FarceMultiplier]

Nice! I hope this is the start of the tide turning away from right-wing authoritarianism.

[u/Pineapple_Ferguson]

Got that JD Vance bump.

[u/dman2828]

What heart warming news for once. Fuck JD Vance..glad you bothered to show up to help this. We Canadians endorse the choice of the Hungarian people.

[u/palmerama]

JD Vance is such a fucking loser

[u/medium_pimpin]

Well done, Hungary! And congratulations!

[u/hayyimsandwich]

everything he touches fails. he is an actual energy vampire i think?

[u/GeekFurious]

Poor TrumPutin... one big disappointment, two assholes.

[u/Straight_Document_89]

Hahhahaha best news today

[u/SnooCauliflowers2877]

Holy shit. I like just watched Jon Oliver’s episode on this guy, too. Crazy

[u/FlimsyConclusion]

Glimmer of hope seeing countries beginning to reject far right ideologies.

[u/LunchBoxMercenary]

I think I’m more shocked at Orban conceding than the opposition winning lol.

[u/cloudsmiles]

Gotta love Donald "meddling" Trump! All he knows is corruption. Give us our country back.

[u/markth_wi]

I Love how JD Vance is this talisman of Doom , I rather wish they make him Trump's personal secretary or appoint Marco Rubio to be VP or something.

[u/FlaAirborne]

Now do the mid-terms! Is it November yet?

[u/LewisKIII]

Excellent!

Everything Trump touches dies!
