One can only hope other people in other countries ::cough US cough:: learn the right lessons from all this.
Also, I highly recommend this thread by doc in Bluesky, which ends with, ""sometimes the way you heal as a nation is to cauterize the fucking wound"" (Dems should learn about Trust Thermocline IN A HURRY, 'sall I'm sayin')

There are lessons to learn here, for the rest of the world.
(starting with the fact that this didn't happen overnight)
Via @emptywheel (on Bluesky):
"Magyar, closing his speech, now calling for accountability for those who turned on Hungarians. Refusing to be a country w/o consequences. Now Magyar addresses Orban's supporters, who are sad for his well-deserved defeat, promises to rule for all Hungarians."
I'm fucking sobbing.
It's the hope. 16 years of hell, and now Hungarians can celebrate hope. (And hold both previous and just-elected officials accountable)

137 seats as of 4:10 PM Eastern, with 81.49% counted: supermajority for Tisza, and Hungarians breaking the far right hold on their country.
(Supermajority: they can roll back the fascist changes to their constitution)
ETA: at 4:30 PM Eastern, holding at 138 seats, with 87.82% votes counted. Go, Hungary!

Hungarian voters have ousted long-serving Prime Minister Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power, rejecting the authoritarian policies and global far-right movement that he embodied in favor of a pro-European challenger in a bombshell election result with global repercussions. It was a stunning blow for Orbán — a close ally of both U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin — who quickly conceded defeat after what he called a ″painful″ election result on Sunday night. Election victor Péter Magyar, a former Orbán loyalist who campaigned against corruption and on everyday issues like health care and public transport, has pledged to rebuild Hungary’s relationships with the European Union and NATO — ties that frayed under Orbán.
