#Elections have #consequences
The #vote has consequences
*Not* voting also has consequences: you reward #malice, you block #justice
Are you listening Americans?
Do you want #MAGA goons punished?
And how do we achieve that?
Are you going to put two plus two together in your mind and figure out that means four, and fucking vote?

"The political earthquake that #Hungary experienced on Monday, when the party opposing #Orbán won two-thirds of the seats in Parliament, was unimaginable a year and a half ago, but there had been smaller, almost imperceptible rumblings of the kind that usually portend profound political change. Across rural Hungary—the source of Orbán’s base—small civic groups were forming in places where civil society had all but disappeared."

The Clubs in Hungary That Helped Lead to Orbán's Defeat
Among the many reasons for Viktor Orbán’s defeat was the rural clubs where citizens relearned democratic habits.Gal Beckerman (The Atlantic)
An excellent article that details how Orbán funded right-wing organisations in Britain and further afield. Naturally there is an Epstein connection among the various people who receive funding from Orbán.
"As Hungary’s Prime Minister suffers a historic electoral defeat, Byline Times maps out how his government’s funding arm channelled hundreds of thousands of pounds into organisations at the heart of Britain’s hard right."
Edit:Added article summary
Most major #media and #socialMedia in the #USA is now right wing controlled
The #techbro angle is well understood, but traditional media, that used to be more balanced, being capitalist entities that were dying, plutocrats merely purchased them and put their goons on the managing editor desks
Watch this video of Peter #Magyar going on #Hungary's version of #FoxNews (their state media) and announcing he is shutting them down
Now dream of that in the #US
To get there, you fucking #vote, idiots
Make believe you're 12 years old again. Mean kids, edgelords, drama mavens, etc
Some people never grow out of it. For some it's a cringe social identity as, an, uh, "adult"
Luckily, the leaders of entire countries are more mature, right? Right?
It's not like powerful people act like grade school dipshits going full whiny insecure brat, right?

Russia adds Hungary to 'unfriendly countries' list after Magyar wins
The new Hungarian Prime Minister supports good relations with Europe On Sunday, April 12, parliamentary elections were held in Hungary.RBC-Ukraine
"After Victor Orbán’s Fidesz party took power in 2010, Hungary became a role model for those who admired corruption, fascism, and loyalty to Vladimir Putin. Orbán’s regime brought widespread crony capitalism, captured Hungarian media outlets, and installed corrupt judges. He actively undermined solidarity within the European Union and worked to block aid to Ukraine. Sound familiar?"

Watch Hungarians singing We Are the Champions and you too might get chills. (Politico was reporting on We Are the Champions blasting through the streets, so this certainly seems to be real.)

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others."
He's far from a liberal, however this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.
Magyar called on the country's president, top justices, and chief prosecutor to hand in their resignations, saying they had put their political allegiance to Orban's authoritarian system above their office's responsibilities.
thank you Hungary because fuck these fascist grifters:
❝ Leading rightwing figures including Santiago Abascal of Spain’s Vox, André Ventura of Portugal’s Chega and Mateusz Morawiecki of Poland’s Law and Justice party (PiS) attended a weekend national-conservative Cpac Hungary conference in Budapest.

Among Orbán's many corrosive effects in Hungary, he politically strangled universities and research funding. His defeat offers the possibility of a better, more open future for Hungarian science.

Yay! Orbán, corrupt fascist asshole, was VOTED OUT despite long and intense efforts on his part to rig the election system in his favour. Excellent news! Well done, Hungarians!
I'm celebrating the news from Hungary with some soul-stirring Woody Guthrie: "All You Fascists Bound to Lose."

"The gerrymandered map that was supposed to make Orbán permanent didn’t just fail. It was overrun.
Viktor Orbán — the philosopher kings’ proof of concept, the strongman who made democratic backsliding look irreversible, the man JD Vance flew to Budapest to embrace four days ago — is not losing."
"The Hungarian people have spoken.
With 37% of the vote counted — results still coming in as this is written — TISZA holds 132 seats to Fidesz’s 65 — one seat from the two-thirds supermajority required to rewrite the constitution. TISZA is winning 93 of 106 individual constituencies. Fidesz has collapsed from 87 constituency seats in 2022 to 13 tonight. Sixty-three percent of the vote is still uncounted."

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor #Orbán concedes defeat after 'painful' #election result ending 16 years in power for a powerful figure in the #FarRight movement allied with US President Donald #Trump & #Russia President Vladimir #Putin.
“I congratulated the victorious party,″ Orbán told supporters in Budapest. “We are going to serve the Hungarian nation & our homeland from opposition as well.”
