Time to raise taxes, take away more parental benefits, and force people to work more hours. Anything to avoid touching the thousands of billions of generational wealth the elite is sitting on in e.g. real estate. Keep up the good work, 3rd biggest economy of the world, you can make it to 10th in a few decades.

Love it. Who knew that the Estonian language is so kino

He said “Abszolút filmszínház” which means “Absolute movie theater”, a deliberate mistranslation of the original meme, which is how it’s used in Hungarian, adding another layer to the joke. Intentional mistranslation of memes is also a thing in other countries like Germany and Turkey.

Something that foreigners also find funny: “Magyar” literally means Hungarian, so yes, the country will have a PM called Peter Hungarian.

Finally a sane approach to online age verification

Peter Magyar promised to change the constitution and introduce an 8-year limit for the Prime Minister, thus making it impossible for Orban to make a Trumpish comeback. And I don’t see anybody within Fidesz that matches the voter pull of Orban.

Also, this was a true landslide - winning 2/3rds majority at 79.5% voter turnout, so the new government will be able to remove Orban’s puppets (e.g. SC, AG) and make the constitutional changes needed to strengthen democracy for the future.

Overall I’m quite optimistic for my country, even if conservative-centrist Magyar doesn’t match my views as a leftist, as he is definitely a democrat who wants to help his country.

Holy fuck, what a nuclear and spot-on quote. I’m definitely saving this one for later

Brainworm’s gotta eat

Yes. Few seats are close, but votes from abroad are counted when they arrive later, and those usually are not fans of Orban

Tbf this was a jawdropping surprise for us, but happy to take the win

Thanks for the assist!

Thank you! Absolutely incredible, 79.5% voter turnout - people really had enough of Orban

It’s unconsentual genital mutilation of babies, a beyond cruel excercise - unless there is a clear medical reason

Hopefully not. New party has 2/3rds majority, meaning they will clean house - new AG, new supreme court, election laws, etc. They can do what they want, which is a risk, but there is no other way to defeat Orban’s state capture

It was insane, we partied until 3 am on the streets of Budapest. People were hanging from poles, shooting fireworks and dancing

79.5% is the final number. Absolutely insane, people really had enough or Orban

Thanks for sending J.D. Vance our way, it definitely helped!

He’s legit, no worries on that front. Implementing policies and promises - let’s see, but I’m optimistic

C’mon, guy is a lot of things but not a friend to Russia

Thank you! Feels good to be a Hungarian again after decades of shame
