I think the results of the Hungarian election may make putin even more convinced that illiberal/managed democracy doesn't work, but only totalitarian rule is stable enough, like in North Korea.

This is not limited to putin.
I may see other authoritarian leaders in hybrid regimes (Erdogan for example, but there are many others), who may choose to take that route.

Inside Trump’s Effort to “Take Over” the Midterm Elections

When Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election, the institutional guardrails of American democracy held. But if faced with the same tests today, those barriers — and people who held the line — would largely be missing.

#hungary #PeterMagyar #orban #idiot47 #republicans #GOP I have to admit that I’m a little jealous of people in Hungary. Our time in the US is coming—fast. I hope that US voters took notice and feel a sense of empowerment to do to idiot47, Mike Johnson, and John Thune what Hungarians did to Orban. We want our democracy back, and we want the fascists out. And, we need to do it as decisively as the Hungarians did. Our chance is months away. US #midterms #election2026 is months away. We must get to work, and we must work TOGETHER!!!
