  1. The way things went this weekend makes me wish Vance spent more time at Mar a Lago

  2. The people of Hungary walked into polling stations today with nothing but a vote, and dismantled 16 years of ‘illiberal democracy’ in a single evening. Hey dictators: democracy doesn’t forget. It doesn’t forgive. And it is coming for you.

  3. He and Vance are gonna have to spitroast a chesterfield to get past this tremendous blow

    Genuinely shocked he conceded so quickly.

    Orban’s regime is very much an inspiration for Trump’s actions and Project 2025.

  5. I seem to recall a whole lot of people whining over the last year that Trump had “totally already consolidated authoritarian power” because he controls the legislature and his allies are buying up the media, “just like Orban.” Well guess what? Viktor couldn’t make that stick, and there’s a LOT of reasons to think Trump’s authoritarianism will be way less durable than Orban’s.

    as a hungarian – one of the best nights of my life. in 2010 I was 19 years old, no real perspective for a better future, spent 16 years in this system, soft-regime. now I’m 35, cried twice this evening, because our plan with my fiance was to flee the country in the worst case scenario. I do not have to leave my home, my country, there is hope. I’ve never felt more hungarian and I’m so proud of each and every person who voted today. there is power within us.

    Hopefully this is the first of many electorates who stop being taken for suckers by corrupt leaders. *Stares at Israel & The US*

    I’m just crying from happiness, we were so hopeful but couldn’t have imagined such a huge win. this will change so much for us in Hungary.
    let this show the world that better times can come and we can get rid of the autocratic leaders destroying our lives and countries.

    If only Americans had voted, perhaps we could have had at least 12 years of peace from dumb Donald?
