Maybe this should be under "things that Trump did right". It's fairly evident that a factor in Hungarian voters turning on their longtime corruptor of democracy, was the spectacle of his best bud's demented rampage through the middle east. Regardless, they are rid of him.
IMO that is a really big deal. For Hungary of course, but also for the EU, for Ukraine and even for the USA. Trump is a global pariah at this point and even Putin seems to be attempting to distance himself.
Wishing Peter Magyar the best of luck. He has the people behind him, and they are ripe for change.
What do our resident Trumpsuckers think about it?
 
Hey now...I spent a lot of time in the late 90s with Orban. It was a great DAW for it's time!

Trump should, once again, because he's yet to figure it out, distance himself from Putin. I thought he would seeing what a loser Russia is in Ukraine. It is the open relationship between Putin and Orban that won Magyar the election and a supermajority. Putin is a pariah across Europe.
It is also the knowledge of Russian interference in elections that lost Orban reelection. Interference in Romania. Interference in Moldova. Interference in Hungary. Kremlin interference in elections is assumed now. It is attached to the global far right.

With a supermajority, Orban's authoritarianism can be undone, democracy restored. Mind you, this all happened in spite of gerrymandered districts, Orban's stranglehold on the media, Russian interference, and Trump's open support.

But what really lost here was authoritarianism. Hungary was the poster child for the move toward authoritarianism cloaked in famiy values. But spewing family values while you rape the country failed.

Trump, you're running out of cards to play.
