2. Cautiously optimistic....

[malaise]

5. Look at people in the streets

Damn😀

[malaise]

3. Orban concession speech on BBC now

😀

[Easterncedar]

7. Yay! I did not see this before I posted

Shady V did Orban no good! Oh the CPAC crowd gonna be sad

[SergeStorms]

75. Trump's buddy.....

and the most admired world leader by right-wingnuts goes down! 🥳

The Big Orange Fascist Pig must be crestfallen, because he sees what's in store for him after this November

[Easterncedar]

4. This gives me hope for our elections

If Orban couldn't rig this vote maybe we can hold onto ours. But I won't gloat over this win until Orban is truly gone.

[malaise]

6. 80% voter turn is farewell Effer

😀

[Easterncedar]

9. I think I will do a little dancing and gloating right now!!!

Thanks, y'all!

[moonscape]

56. Yeah, I see this as making

T more determined if that’s possible.

[NJCher]

106. Sure

He’ll be so determined that he will turn himself into Cheebus to win a third election!

8. This makes me smile

14. What a failed trip

Holy shit😀

[B.See]

35. On the contrary. They

Trump and JD Slick, SUCCEEDED,
beyond MY wildest dreams.

If ever there WAS an "undecided" before their meddling, they sure as hell killed that.

Have to wonder which of the two despots the people hated MORE.

[COL Mustard]

51. Which one?

The trip to Hungary, or the trip to Pakistan?

Oh, wait...BOTH failed!!! So much for Shady Vance's political future.

[AloeVera]

38. Supermajority was a dream! I can't believe it!

Really helps with fixing the country. Including the constitutional changes required to fix Orban's mess.

[Deuxcents]

61. Do you have relatives still there..have you heard anything from them?

[Solly Mack]

10. ...

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. Orban is reported to have conceded

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

[liberalla]

34. Yes, it's especially sweet!

Bravo, Hungary!!!

48. ETTD

[True Dough]

60. Lost Syria, lost Hungary, losing the war in Ukraine

Suck it, Pooty!

✌🏻

[senseandsensibility]

15. I guess sending jaydee to rally for Orban

was not the flex they thought it was.

[Takket]

16. this is great news.........

one of drumpf's #1 allies. someone he described as a great and powerful leader. no, the people are powerful.

Today we will celebrate... tomorrow, we must be vigilant, because the message drumpf just received was "if you let the people vote, you will lose", and he's going to redouble his efforts to take away our right to vote.

[malaise]

18. He promised them economic support

https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-economic-support-viktor-orban-hungarian-election/

Trump promises economic support to Orbán ahead of crucial Hungary vote
Trump’s pledge to use the “full economic might” of the U.S. to help the Hungarian economy comes as Orban trails in the polls going into Sunday’s election.

————
Mouthamassie shoukd shut up.

[calimary]

78. And his "promises" mean NOTHING.

I guess some folks just need to realize that, and accept it.

[malaise]

19. The lesson here for all young people

Vote as if your life depend on it for it does

[moondust]

17. He can take his EU veto abuse with him.

Might be a good time for the EU to move away from the unanimity requirement.

The unanimity trap: what is the EU veto and why is it so hard to reform?

[Vinca]

21. It must have been JD's magic touch.

[malaise]

23. or the economic promises from Slobby

😀

[Blue_Roses]

96. This!

His "word" means nothing and now the whole world knows it.

[malaise]

98. He had no reason to say a word

Word was available to the planet that Orban was about to lose - you’d think the intelligence peeps told him although he fired the professionals.
Shady Couch was bad enough but Slobby made it worse with the stupid promise. They look like idiots who didn’t see this coming.

[Blue_Roses]

99. Trump didn't seeit coming

because he lives in his own narcissistic bubble. The scarey thing about that is him going scorched earth when reality hits.

[malaise]

100. That is some bubble

😀

[Blue_Roses]

104. Yes it is

[spooky3]

43. He batted those eyelined lashes and the people said

“F off, loser!”

[malaise]

70. LOL

[GoCubsGo]

22. Great news! I was worried

that Orban would successfully rig the election in his favor. If he tried, he has failed.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. WATCH: Here's Viktor Orbn conceding defeat!

Link to tweet

[malaise]

27. Thanks

Landslide victory😀

[Charmin One]

25. Hats off to Orban

I know Trump set a very low bar on this, but at least Orban has the decency to admit defeat and concede.

[thought crime]

92. Probably due in part to being in the EU?

Does the EU set some standards for election process?

[róisín_dubh]

26. Thank fuck.

I’ve wanted to visit Hungary since I was about 8.
I’m now 48 and would sell a kidney to take a train there from London. And now I can because that fucker is gone.

[ColoringFool]

42. Now you CAN? Or "can't"?

[róisín_dubh]

102. My god I need my eyes checked

And between them and the latest iPhone update, I make 901 typos. 😬

[dalton99a]

28. Finally.

[Vogon_Glory]

29. Pity Team Donald when indictments start flying!

Hungary has far more amenities than Belarus and the Persian Gulf states are not only boiling hot but rather close to Iran.

[callous taoboy]

30. Time to celebrate!

I might have to go get a sixer!

[LSparkle]

31. Hungary chooses Europe (over Russia)

Hoping Ukraine can likewise be freed at last from PooTin’s lurking ... Heck, when does Turkey vote next? Might it be time to say buh-bye to Erdogan? :

[DinahMoeHum]

57. Would LOVE to see the Turks get rid of Erdogan

n/t

[LSparkle]

62. Another good country that needs new management!

[DFW]

105. My wife has been to Turkey. She wants to show me around

“As soon as Erdoğan is gone.”

Maybe that will be sooner than we thought. Çok güzel!

[Starbeach]

32. !!!!!!!!

A very good day!!!!

[mikewv]

33. Vance goes home with 2 losses tonight!

Trumpy is not happy! lol

[B.See]

37. He's the gift that keeps on

"couching" up.

[DoBW]

36. Go home to Russia

FO Orban

[Crowman2009]

39. Looks like Cpl. Vance also turns things to shit!

[ColoringFool]

41. 👍! VP💩 !

[orangecrush]

40. Goodbye Piggy

[canetoad]

44. First post I read this morning

Still haven't searched for the results, but this will do fine thanks. Another bastard fascist bites the dust.

On edit: not only a win but a LANDSLIDE.

[malaise]

47. The landslide speaks volumes

They are singing a love song in their thousands as I type

[Blue Owl]

45. Somewhere a fat miserable fuck is sucking it

[BeneteauBum]

46. Woo Hoo!

Peace ☮️

[BHDem53]

49. The ketchup's gonna hit the fan. Good job, James Donald.

[malaise]

50. Maygar speaking now

On BBC

[Sneederbunk]

52. How much did it cost the US to send JD to Hungary to

campaign for the Big O?

[Callie1979]

53. So the Putin/Trump ticket is a LOSER again! nt

[oldmanlynn]

54. This needs to be played up as death to fascism

And to also tie in Maga as being on a short leaf here in America

[Warpy]

55. We don't yhet know if Mfgyar is going to reverse

the pro Russia policies, he might find himself between a rock and a hard place since Hungary is still dependent on Russian energy.

It seems pretty clear from Orban's bowing out without a fight that a dirty deal was done, at least allowing Orban to take his stolen loot with him wherever he ends up.

Nice to know that MAGA endorsements are working as well overrseas as they are here. Wat to go, JD!

[RetiredParatrooper]

58. Fascists do not give up so easily, as we leaned in 2021

Frederick Douglass:

"Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reforms. The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. . .

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its mighty waters.

The struggle may be a moral one or it may be a physical one, or it may both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and it never will. Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.

In the light of these ideas, Negroes will be hunted in the North, and held and flogged at in the South so long as they submit to those devilish outrages, and make no resistance, either moral or physical.

Men may not get all they pay for in this world, but they must certainly pay for all they get. If we ever get free from the oppression and wrongs heaped upon us, we must pay for their removal. We must do this by labor, by suffering, by sacrifice, and, if needs be, by our lives and the lives of others."

[Martin68]

59. Fingers crossed.

[lonely bird]

63. When the reins are formally and completely transferred

Then, and only then, will I celebrate.

Conservatives deserve no benefit of the doubt or breaks or anything else.

[malaise]

64. Are you watching the 10s of thousands in the streets

Let them try


Has Slobby weighed in yet? Or Shady?😀

[lonely bird]

107. Watching?

No. I know that they are and it is wonderful that they are doing so.

My position still stands. When the transfer is complete then I will celebrate.

I will also remain watchful. Guys like Orban don’t just walk away and the organizations created for and by him and by those who fund him don’t go away either.

[hatrack]

65. Awesome - I don't allow myself to hope very much any more . . . .

So you have no idea just how refreshing this is - slainte!

Also, fuck JD Vance and his bestie/traveling companion, the new Executive Branch pimp.

[iluvtennis]

66. Woohoo!!!

[Swede]

67. Trump must be tired of winning!!!!

[peggysue2]

68. Congrats to Hungarian citizens

The shackles have been broken, finally.

Now the real work begins to repair the Hungarian government, expel the Orban sycophants threaded throughout all institutions and return to a truly democratic form of governance. Sixteen years of rotten leadership has no doubt left a lot of damage. Not unlike what Trump and his Flying Monkey Brigade have attempted to put on speed dial in the US.

But the first step in Hungary has been accomplished. Kudos!

[OldBaldy1701E]

69. I am rolling over here!

I am reading that Hillbilly Wannabe's visit cost him between 3 and 5 percent of the vote.





What a Maroon!

[liberalla]

108. I ĺove this post! Thank you!

[samsingh]

71. yes!

[yellow dahlia]

72. A ray of hope.

They had a mandate, and it made it too difficult for Orban to cheat or steal.

And voter turnout was huge!

[malaise]

73. And voter turnout was huge!

The lesson for November

[yellow dahlia]

74. Yes!

Now we just need to do everything we can to make sure they don't rig, cheat, or steal.

[NNadir]

76. Next!!!!!!????!!!!

[Ellipsis]

77. With over 95% of the votes in Magyar projected to win a supermajority of 137 seats.

95. Oops. fixed.

[Crunchy Frog]

79. Zelenskyy won this one. That's who Orban was running against. His face was literally plastered over the whole country.

?si=w_8kzHq93QOiOeyM

[TomSlick]

81. A concession? No claims of voting fraud? No insurrection mob?

Is Hungary a better democracy than the US?

[thought crime]

91. We need to win a super majority, too.

This kind of vote result is pretty hard to argue with. At the rate Trump is going, we might be able to get a similar result in 2028 (if there's anything left by that time).

[TomSlick]

93. The republic surviving to 2028 will be no mean feat.

[Passages]

82. Great news!

[SheltieLover]

83. Yay! Way to go Hungary!

86. Ty!

[SheltieLover]

87. I love that he quoted JFK! 💖 No doubt a dig at pootin & tsf

“Tonight, truth prevailed over lies. Today, we won because Hungarians didn’t ask what their homeland could do for them — they asked what they could do for their homeland"



Ty for sharing!!!

[GreenWave]

84. Another one bites the dust!

[malaise]

88. Not a peep from Slobby, Shady or

other MAGAts..
I guess Fucker won’t be broadcSt8ng from Budapest anytime soon😀

[Morbius]

89. It's encouraging news, but I won't rejoice just yet.

I do not trust fascists to simply let go of power. It is not in their nature.

[mvd]

90. Wonderful news!

They’re lucky - we could be stuck with our dictator wanna-be for almost 3 more years.

[MerryBlooms]

94. Played Bowie's "Heroes ", as soon as I read this!

Good luck, Hungary!!

[SamuelAdams]

97. Excited for Hungary!

I wonder if Orban will still be invited to CPAC.

[Dave Bowman]

101. Good damn riddance! 😀

[malthaussen]

103. Wow, this is actually significant.

A tyrant who can rig elections at will and embodies the rabid RW that has been infecting the (sort-of) Social Democratic States still couldn't manage to fix his own election? I'm impressed.
