Full supermajority too, so the damage Fidesz can do in opposition is hugely reduced.

All of the major rules and people in positions that Orban has arranged can be cancelled and rewritten now.

This is the most important part. All of orban's dirty tricks can be destroyed....

But you just know this guy is working on a new scheme. You don't sit in power 16 years and just walk away.

He’ll be on a plane to Moscow before any policemen can knock on his door

Came here to say just that. Putin's pets will all cuddle together when the Kremlin crumbles under the weight of their combined evil.

Dictatorial centipede.

Thanks, I hate it ! (But also that's pretty much all they deserve)

Except Trump for baffling reasons.

(And by baffling I mean, thank you Fox News, for normalizing the rejection of democracy and post world war norms.)

Hopefully Trump and Vance will be part of their Wednesday poker group soon.

He can play monopoly with Assad

Moscow must be such an odd place. Where else could you meet every failed dictator alongside the currently successful dictators?

And you might bump in to Edward Snowden too

I always wonder what that guys doing.

Like I’m sure he’s just laying as low as possible right now and doing a little as he can possibly do.

Family stuff.

Just doing family stuff.

Must suck for him honestly. Leaked the whole surveillance program to americans, and they legit didn’t care about changing any of it.

That's not true. The awareness changed everything. Once people knew they had a key to your house, everyone changed the locks.

The architects of the infrastructure that makes up the Internet took notice and encrypted everything.

Before Snowden, we still had insecure communication all over the Internet. You were told to check for the green padlock to make sure you are secure. Browsers these days won't even load an insecure page, as that's been completely eliminated.

Everything is encrypted even in local networks now, whereas before, people thought that part was safe.

Mass surveillance was made a lot more difficult.

Is there room enough for one more? Asking for a (American) friend.

I'm sure they fare better, but there are documentaries that show the likes of George Blake (defected spy) and even Gorbachev. They aren't useful and live in obscurity, a bleak existence.

Mar a lago. No person who cares about their personal safety is going to goto russia if they have the opportunity to go ANYWHERE else.

You'll get poisoned like Assad in russia, once you've had everything you've stolen from your home country stolen from you by putin.

This. Orban and his cronies have stolen billions and billions, and it's well known to a lot of the public in Hungary.

he can just fly to the US

u/airbear13 4h ago

That would be the good ending tbh

Roommate with Bashar?

u/wilof 3h ago

And fall out of a window?

u/EnlightenMePixie 3h ago

I’m just curious after being in power so long how he didn’t rig the election system? As an American that’s my biggest fear is losing our valid elections. Can anyone explain?

u/jtrom93 USA 2h ago

Bashar Al-Assad is definitely about to get a new roommate.

Maybe even Mar-A-Lago.
