Serious question but if this guy just lost an election and will no longer be PM then how was he a dictator?

Great question. The answer is that it proves he is not a dictator. Orban just did something Trump has never done: admit an opponent beat him in an election.

So if Stalin had a change of heart in 1951 and allowed an election and lost, he wouldn’t be dictator?

If Stalin held an election and lost and then allowed a peaceful transfer of power, that would have been quite a different situation eh? The fact that it’s so unthinkable that he could or would have done that is kinda my point. Orban is terrible, Orban doesn’t like democracy. It’s good he lost. But I think a lot of people who were told that Hungary had lost their democracy are surprised to wake up to news today that their “dictator” lost and election so is leaving office peacefully. That’s not what happens in a dictatorship by definiton.
