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

JD, The Rizzless

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

Literally like has no chance at ever uniting the MAGA cult, because he is such a charisma dead zone that straight up doesn’t know how to interact with anyone. Trump is a scumbag con-man, but he has spent years learning how to be charismatic enough to dupe potential victims by selling them on lies. Vance literally is barely able to hold a conversation when is alone, hence why he tends to bounce off what other people say around him. He is bumbling henchmen who has no presence by himself.

Charisma so low even automatic doors won't open for him. That's why he fucks couches.

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

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

That needs to be on his tombstone.

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

The sectional predator on the loose!

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. 

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. 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺

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.

And Orban is all three

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

I was slightly more optimistic thinking it would be 103%

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.

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

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.

>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).

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

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

Even his sugar daddy Trump doesn't like him

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

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

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

Get in my belly!

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

So f****** huge for ukraine

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

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

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

Even in Myanmar, the coup only partially got away with it. Once voting via ballot turned out to be useless, a portion of the "entire population against them" began voting by bullet instead. It worked, too; the junta is down to about a quarter of Myanmar at this point. It has dropped more bombs per capita than Russia has in Ukraine and yet that hasn't been enough; the tide of ethic militias just keeps eating away at them

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