"I have said since early 2025 that Trump is in office to solve Putin’s problems.

"Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime."

"The chant 'Europe, Europe, Europe' rising from the banks of the Danube, in front of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, where Péter Magyar is celebrating his electoral victory, is a cry that shakes the conscience of us all. It lifts our spirits, fills us with joy, and gives us hope that this era of sovereigntism and populism may soon be consigned to the past. Long live a united and democratic Europe!"

"UK historian Ian Richardson: 'I suspect the populist right bubble is bursting the world over. Trump is a busted flush, Orban will likely be hammered tomorrow, Bolsonaro is incarcerated and Farage is looking more like a loser with each passing day. These guys only offer anger and hate, not solutions and progress.'”

"The Hungarian vote was framed by the opposition as a decision over whether Hungary, a country with a long history shaped by its geography and position at the center of the continent’s cross-currents, would align with the West or the East. Orbán had often stood alone against the wishes of the rest of Europe. It is now clear which side of the Russia–EU divide his country’s people preferred."

"What I feel more comfortable speculating on today is the message being received at the White House, where the string of defeats is mounting and the bravado of the early months of the administration has dissipated into spiraling crises and internal division."
-
"The Orbán loss is yet another example that the cloak of invincibility that Trump and his minions sought to wrap themselves in was as real as the emperor’s clothes in the fairy tales.
Trump has the opposite of the Midas touch."
-
So how long now before he completely loses it, and just declares 'Martial Law' or some such nonsense? Or do people think that his advisers have the ability to restrain him until he almost inevitably loses the mid-terms, and *then* declares a coup?

"Efforts by foreign governments to prop up Orbán gave his defeat implications that extend well beyond this small country of fewer than 10 million people. The prime minister has been a scourge to international institutions and a source of inspiration to far-right politicians throughout the West."

"He was demonizing immigrants and dictating talking points to friendly media before Donald Trump came down the golden escalator. Trump desperately tried to keep Orbán in power, issuing multiple endorsements and dispatching his vice president, J. D. Vance, to campaign with the prime minister in Budapest last week."

"Major breaking news: the far-right has lost in Hungary. Viktor Orbán, a key ally of Donald Trump and JD Vance, was defeated despite backing from both the U.S. president and vice president."

@wdlindsy just keep sending #couchfucker to stump for fellow autocrats and we'll be fine.
Looks like they are also working on accelerating the move away from the #FossilFuelEconomy globally. Wouldn't it be something, if #AmericanFascists achieved more for the environment and global democracy in a few short years than all the liberal elites could do in decades?

Wow, that's the best news in months, years, in Europe, and probably the world.
The first light of real Hope for the future of Democracy.
