🏳️🌈🖖🏽There is hope in Hungary. Let's see what Orbán actually does when he loses though. It's an earth sign of what Trump will do in November after losing the midterms.

Oli@georgetakei What dictators usually do when the opposition becomes too strong is to have them imprisoned.

I don't know Hungarian politics, but anyone with a country or nationality for a name makes me suspicious.
How would you expect "Joe America", or Vladimir USA" to behave?
I may be wrong, but I'm suspicious.
Henrik Pauli@WellsiteGeo @georgetakei It's pretty common (as are family names for other nationalities like Tóth, Németh, Horváth), it's not a name he picked up for the gig.

Deutsch and Deutscher are last names in Germany. They're kinda rare but they exist. François is a French last name.
Totally normal stuff over here in old Europe.

Mark 🇨🇦💪@georgetakei yikes FSB will need to get on with the fake assassination attempt of Orban
@georgetakei There's a huge discrepancy between government aligned, and independent or opposition aligned pollsters — one would expect they respect their craft, but the outcome is awfully different.
One hopes that the opposition ones are correct, but even they haven't ever measured Fidesz below 30%, and its support has on average increased in the last 12 months — despite the daily scandals. They currently poll near 40%, which is crazy.

Charlotte Blackman@georgetakei Will Magyar suffer a fatal tragedy before the election? Will Orbán challenge the election if he loses? Will Jane leave Dave for Brenda? The answers to these questions and more. Coming soon!

ij@georgetakei Uhm. Let's see if Trump is still in office in November.
Maybe he overplayed his hand.
MrBadger42@ij @georgetakei Only if We the people take to the streets. This administration will never give up its power voluntarily.

🚫👑@mrbadger42 @ij @georgetakei I've seen flyers calling for a general strike in the US on May 1st: no work, no school, no shopping.
