"I have said since early 2025 that Trump is in office to solve Putin’s problems. Orban provides a template. Bloomburg published revelations that on a phone call last October, Orban reportedly told Putin 'I am in your service' - and compared himself to a mouse and Putin to a lion. Hungary’s current afflictions are the outcome of this path and these priorities."

"The Hungarian people have spoken.
With 37% of the vote counted — results still coming in as this is written — TISZA holds 132 seats to Fidesz’s 65 — one seat from the two-thirds supermajority required to rewrite the constitution. TISZA is winning 93 of 106 individual constituencies. Fidesz has collapsed from 87 constituency seats in 2022 to 13 tonight. Sixty-three percent of the vote is still uncounted."

"The gerrymandered map that was supposed to make Orbán permanent didn’t just fail. It was overrun.
Viktor Orbán — the philosopher kings’ proof of concept, the strongman who made democratic backsliding look irreversible, the man JD Vance flew to Budapest to embrace four days ago — is not losing."

"He is being annihilated. And the majority that is annihilating him is on the threshold of the power to undo everything he built — the constitutional rewrites, the judicial capture, the media laws, the rigged electoral architecture itself."

@wdlindsy So Orban formally conceded. He is one bad hombre, but more of a man than Trump

@wdlindsy hehehe, i think that's rather "aided by" than "despite"...

@wdlindsy Ha! So JD Vance’s clumsy intervention was yet another nail in the coffin?! It’s going to be fun watching Trump lying his way out of this kingsize SNAFU!

@wdlindsy Gerrymandering of Orban was extreme. One of the “Districts” of Hungary was the business buildings in Budapest, where just 6 people are registered to vote ! (We await the evidence that Orban bribed them….).

@wdlindsy Good! Hope his plane to Moscow is fueled and standing by! Good riddance to him! Hope we can do as well in November…

@wdlindsy I wonder if the loss is “..defeated despite..” or really ‘..defeated because..’!

@wdlindsy I just saw the news! 🥳

"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.'”
