While i’m happy Órban is out, do remember that Magyar is Órban-lite and Órban spent 16 years ensuring he’ll be hard to get rid of. Magyar may’ve won the election but he’s not in the clear yet.
JD has really been pulling through for us.
thanks Vance 👍❤️🇺🇸
First the Pope, now Orban’s government, what next!
I think you know who 🤞
Apparently, Trump is immune.
Or doesn’t hang out with Vance, which would be a very rare thing he and I agree on
Quick go visit Putin!
He fucked up the Iran deal.
The israelis would regardless.
Also Canada.
Hopefully he’s still in office to come to Australia in mid 2028 and ensure us a Labor/Greens victory.
Nice cat. Is Vance popular at all? Cause it looks he is angrier and less charismatic version of Trump. It looks that even hard core far-right don’t like him
lol, no, not at all. only the MAGA die-hards like him, but not all that much.
No, everyone either actively hates or barely tolerates the couch fucking pope killer.
I think there are a few fringe movements that don’t hate him, but he’s literally where he is as a threat to anyone who would impeach Trump.

The polls for Orban went down after Vance’s endorsement visit. That’s how populair he is.
vance quickly ditched hungary for IRAN.
I hope he at least ate some nice goulash and lángos, otherwise not much point of dropping by
You just know that he had someone pick up McD
or, you know, whatever made sense at the time…
Brilliant news for Hungary, Europe and Ukraine.
Now let’s watch the theatrics of Vance crying about interference.
I must admit, even though he was down in the polls, I still expected him to win somehow. It gives me a little glimmer of hope that the world may not become an authoritarian hellscape.
I didn’t really expect him to lose. But I had serious doubts if he would get out of the government after it.
But then, I don’t know the details.
Even if he lost with a close result, he could have blocked lots of change. Fortunately, his opponent has a 2/3 majority, so Orban can’t do anything. 😃
If the loss is big enough, there is no way to get the foot in the door, might not waste the political capital of a tantrum to keep doing damage leading opposition.
And the loss is basically a wipeout. They are practically irrelevant in Parliament, and Tisza, unlike in Poland, can just boot out any of their appointees as they have a supermajority.
The massive turnout also made it impossible to pull anything funny. It’s relatively easy to slip in a few thousands of fake votes when you control the electoral apparatus, but trying to skew such a lopsided election with such an high participation rate would create participation rates above 100% in some places.
Thank you, people of Hungary. You rock
I’m very proud of Hungary. Even with the media capture and social media bombardment, the nation saw through the fog. And that voter turnout percentage is something I’ve never heard of in my lifetime in my country.
Edit: and now, best of luck to them dealing with white nationalism, homophobia and Zionism.
Thanks for sending J.D. Vance our way, it definitely helped!
I am getting the feeling that JD is not really talented in politics
Holy shit, fantastic result! Orban deserved that lol
Yay. :)
I also note the turnout is huge, in the early evening, 75% of eligible people had voted.
An incredible number. That is civic duty!
75% of eligible people had voted
Fuck, if only the US could do this.
79.5% is the final number. Absolutely insane, people really had enough or Orban
Someone please tell me the opposition winner is legit and not another Russian stooge
He’s against support for Ukraine. So, outlook not so good. On paper, he’s an improvement over Orbán but he’s still at least center-right. We won’t know until he starts implementing policies.
Hard to tell right now. He used to be one of Orban’s buddies up until a few years ago. He’s saying the right things right now - less corruption, more services for Hungarians, closer ties to the EU and NATO.
But we’ll see. From what I understand, Orban was also seen as a progressive about 20 years ago. But then Putin and greed got their hooks into him. Hopefully the new guy is legit.
If he is legit, I wonder his this will shift the dynamic in the EU. Without Hungary vetoing everything Putin doesn’t like, does this clear the path more for Ukraine joining the EU and/or NATO? I know there are a lot of other factors in okay. But the people of Hungary might have just helped others and not just themselves.
That will truly be a major test. Man, I’m hoping for a legitimate win for once. This could be the biggest shift since Carney’s victory in Canada. I’ve also sadly seen how gullible people can believe lies like, “America First” and “No New Wars,” and take a pathological liar at their word. Leaving aside the longer-term games being played by billionaires.
Here’s hoping for the best. I’m just honestly a bit shocked that he relinquished power this easily.
There’s another EU member with a russian stooge in power, isn’t there? I could be wrong but I think it was Slovakia that recently elected one.
Still great news that Orban is out.
I was gonna say Belarus but they’re not in the EU.
Fuck Lukashenko too though
C’mon, guy is a lot of things but not a friend to Russia
Let’s hope he doesn’t suffer from sudden and acute defenestration.
He’s legit, no worries on that front. Implementing policies and promises - let’s see, but I’m optimistic
It was a good day
Budapest shouts “Russians out”, in memory of the Hungarian uprising of 1956 and against the Putin asset they ousted today.
Drunk with power he lost his sense in the end. Next Trump, Netanyahu, Putin and so on.
I think 2 of those 3 will be dead before ever handing over power
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think netanyahu is up for election this year.
Don’t worry, he’ll win.
It surely feels good to see a fascist lose. That’s enough for me these days.
I can’t even imagine the elation Hungarians must be feeling right now!
It’s more like relief.
It was insane, we partied until 3 am on the streets of Budapest. People were hanging from poles, shooting fireworks and dancing
Great pic. How’s the hangover? :D
Big congratulations to the people of Hungary. Hopefully this is the start of a much better chapter in their country’s history.
Let’s hope, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Orbán was already burnt, maybe they just put a new puppet (they = a country that produces vodka).
Let’s see if he actually restores democracy.
they = a country that produces vodka
Fecking meddling Finns!
Thank you! Feels good to be a Hungarian again after decades of shame
