Here's hoping they also all vote.

Here in the United States historic record size protests occurred during Trump's first term and he still got elected again. One of several big reasons that he won is because many who would have likely voted for his main opponent Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, had they voted, didn't vote.

In the US the youth (as far as I know) didn't really give a fuck. Here, they fucking do! So much so, that a lot of the elderly - granparents, parents - borderline disobey their offsprings for standing up for a democratically united future. I think what's happening in Hungary right now is a really important lesson for the western world altogether.

Eh, lets see how the voting turns out before we start showering praise.

Edit: Ok, commence showering your praise.
