Despite or maybe because of US interference in his favor (Vance attending campaign rallies for him, Trump promising extra US aid to Hungary if and only if he won), Victor Orban appeared to have been decisively defeated in Hungary's parliamentary elections. https://apnews.com/article/hungary-election-orban-magyar-trump-1a4eb0ba6b94e0c80c3cd18bd36254ab

Viktor Orbans biggest mistake was not going on Joe Rogan.

@Earl-of-Trumps saidI was surprised.
No surprise there.
What kind of dictator hasn't locked down his country's election process to ensure he remained dictator forever?
One look at Putin or Xi shows you what I mean.
And, btw, this is Trump and Vance showing their hand by supporting such a vile dictator.
If there's no surprise anywhere, that's where it is.
@AThousandYoung saidLet's hope so. Not that it will see the end of Putin or Xi in our lifetimes. If it acts as a governor of Trump's ambition, that's good enough for me.
Hopefully we are seeing the end of this current round of "Big Man Neo-Fascism" which has been spreading around the world.
@no1marauder saidWell, there's plenty aid to give, now that he's in the business of killing Africans.

@AThousandYoung saidWho knows how many Lizard People exist in the world today?
They’re all over 70. I expect to outlive them all.
I get your point though, I misspoke.
@AThousandYoung saidHear, hear !

Vance’s personal lobbying appears to have sealed Orban’s doom.
@Suzianne saidIt wasn’t for his lack of trying.

@Suzianne saidPlease, Suzianne. you are going to compare Orban to Kim..., Castro..., Maduro, et al?

@Earl-of-Trumps saidHe's far worse.
Please, Suzianne. you are going to compare Orban to Kim..., Castro..., Maduro, et al?
And Trump likes him.
What further proof is needed?
