@stefan

But ... but ... but he had the Star Power of JD Vance behind him ... How can this be????

@stefan @Gargron it’s really nice hearing some good news on this Sunday 🥳
@stefan A very big THANK YOU to the people of Hungary for making the world a little bit better tonight. And all the best to Peter Magyar to choose the right persons into his inner circle to successfully reform Hungary and give the people a chance to tap into their great potential.
@stefan Is he Liberal?

@fozie I am not super familiar with Magyar, I see this mainly as a defeat of Orban, hence me congratulating the people of Hungary first and foremost.

@stefan Now we just need the citizens of the USA to throw their most incompetent and hap hazard, light himself and us on fire authoritarian, The Head Fascist out! 🔥🧟‍♂️
@stefan it’s a good win, but the war on fascism must continue. We must rebuild, and more importantly deliver real change for people
@jonathankoren Absolutely! Each successful election like this is just the first step.

@stefan

Finally some good news! 🥳 Well done Hungary!

@stefan victory against American cronyism as well, signal Trumps days are numbered
@stefan Donnie Inbred must be worried
@Robo105 Trump? I bet he never even heard of this guy!
@stefan a step in the right direction 🥳

@stefan I’m definitely — with every local and international election result — starting to get the distinct impression that the tide is turning. Away from the brief moment in the sun the populist further-Right has been enjoying.

I hope I’m reading it correctly and it can’t come soon or emphatic enough!

Well done Hungary!! 👏👏👏
