The Hungarian prime minister concedes to Péter Magyar, who is set to win a supermajority in the 199-seat parliament.
Ah, what’s that? The taste of authoritanism tumbling down? Can you hear the pitchforks yet?
Now do Putin
I have been thinking of it
Pro-Russian right wing replaced by Pro-Palestine-Genocide EU right wing… Europe fucking sucks.
You’re the type of person who would seethe if a cure for cancer was found because they didn’t also find a cure for rabies
Cure of cancer = imperialist genocidal EU, gotcha
Orbán was pro Palestine genocide. https://novaramedia.com/2026/04/13/israel-loses-key-european-ally-as-viktor-orban-defeated-in-hungary/
Agreed, but we’ve only gone from Guatepeor to Guatemala as we’d say in Spanish

Tisza will head in the right direction. The influence of Israel is really strong in Hungary, especially in Budapest and the Jewish Ghetto district. Will need some time to overcome it.
I am sorry progress doesn’t come wrapped in the pretty bow you want. I guess we should just not have any progress at all.
Hardly any progress can be spoken of when the vast majority of Europe is plunging to the far right. Look at Italy, look at polls in Germany and Spain.
But this thread is about the election/progress in Hungary, specifically.
how can you tell magyar personally is against palestine?
Not campaigning against genocide (he’s taken no position publicly) implies siding with the ones committing genocide
The world does not in fact revolve around Palestine
Extremely evil position to stand on
No, you’re just being brain dead. Most of the world has much bigger problems to deal with that are much closer to home than some conflict/war/genocide happening far away from them.
Hungary, for example, has just come out of a 16 year period where they were ruled by Russian backed fascists who uprooted a lot of the country’s institutions and destroyed their relationships with their neighbors. Not only that, but they also border Ukraine which is facing one of the biggest and most horrific wars of this century. Russia has already said that they’re next on the chopping block and has added them to their infamous list of unfriendly countries. They already have their hands full, why would any politician running to be the head of state there spend any time on Palestine or Sudan or Myanmar or whatever other country that’s facing grim times over their own country and people? It doesn’t make sense, and so they don’t. That’s perfectly reasonable.
conflict/war
Oh, I wasn’t aware I was engaging with a Zionazi. Get banned.
Lovely work! So much appeal!
Oh and the lady character and the goose are cute too! :p
Had no idea those comics were Hungarian, rad
Thanks J.D. 😄
I know little enough about the guy, but if he was approved by Donnie I presume he was horrible.
He’s propped up by Peter Thiel which should make people worry, if he was a tiny bit effective…maybe he is and there a big grand scheme at work but I don’t think Maga will rally behind him.
Course I don’t the ins and outs of their opinions beyond racist good and being accepting is bad. I hope the gas prices sink them, as horrible as a tiny thing his stance on things. I’m sure Thiel can afford a new lackey and has some ready to bring up. Hell he probably planned for that, Vance is so bland that he’s probably only there to make a case but not accomplish much.
Well that’s quite the Brodown now isn’t it? This sauce just got a little thicker. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm ( Samuel L. Jackson inner voice) C’mon, let us have some more please. Can’t really make this sort of stuff up without a pretty damn good barometer & heading on it all.
How high are you right now
About the same as you. And exactly where I am.
TBH higher than a step stool on a giraffes back with a Bull Moose on stand by in case the scenario goes sideways.
He was also endorsed by Putin and Netanyahu so there isn’t any possible doubt he’s horrible
Yeah, that’s like the holy trinity of evil endorsement.
Bet he uses Windows, too.
Windows fucking 11. And you know what, I hear he wants copilot in everything. Start menu, search, text editing, etc.
He wants the OS to just be one fucking dialog box where you have to coax the OS into doing anything.
Fucking pervert.
Americans helping solidify Europe and move them away from depending on U.S. and Russia. I love to see it
Don’t forget open source adoption
Has Magyar even thanked Vance?
He visits, the old pope dies. He visits, your entire political party is marginalized. Frankly if I were a world leader I’d want to stay as far the hell away from JD Vance as possible.
Actually, as just a regular Joe I’d * also * like to stay as far the hell away from JD Vance as possible.
I like my couch the same way I like my dinner: unfucked.
If he buys me a new one he can have it
I’m very happy with my sofa, I’m not sure a replacement would be as good, so no.
He can’t buy you a new one because he’s been banned from every furniture store in the world, and he knows damn well why.
He icky.
I was very unsure that Orban hadn’t rigged the election, and Hungary would become like Belarus.
I am so relieved to see that democracy worked in Hungary, despite Orban controlling most of the media.I bet they were rigged, just not enough.
He sent meat and wine packages to people to buy their votes, control the media and more. Sure is a big relief 😮💨
Yes I saw the unpacking of such a box. Looked pretty nice actually. But you’d have to be pretty stupid to fall for it. So IDK if it had any effect.
If you’re a poor farmer not caring for politics… Maybe it’d swing a couple of them from one side to another. Or its like the pizza party at work 😅
He controls the media in Hungary, but foreign media showed Trump, Putin and Netanyahu supporting him and suddenly everybody realised he sucks and shouldn’t be trusted.
His last name is Magyar?
His last name is basically “Hungarian” lol
Hi, I’m Dave American, and I’m running for President.
That would be enough for some voters
I’d at least want to hear his policies regarding cheeseburgers first.
Hi, I’m David - the cheeseburger - American, and I’m here to smash patties!
We’re going to put a cheeseburger in every tummy, and deport all the vegetarians
Well, I don’t agree with everything he says, but I do love a cheeseburger.
He said he’s going to genocide my friends and neighbors but he also said he’d lower the price of cheeseburgers, so…
We could’ve had a president McGovern though
The whole “Boaty McBoatface” thing is just a way of conditioning us for the next time someone named McGovern wants to run for leadership.
you have my vote, and I am Jason Australian
I’m gonna be the money president.
Is it fine if I just call you Dave?
Like comedienne Dawn French. The name doesn’t necessarily mandate where they live.
Exactly. I’m Australian, even though my name is Billy Congo Free State.
It’d be like if Johnny America was running for US president
The most famous porn star in the Netherlands is called Kim Holland. Might not be her real name, but her fame shows a name can really help you get people to like you.
And it isn’t even a crazily rare surname! We also have plenty of these:
-
Tóth, which used to mean Slavic, Slovakian or Slovenian (today: ‘tót’)
-
Horváth, which means Croatian (today: ‘horvát’);
-
Németh, which means German (today: ‘német’)
-
Szerb, which means Serbian; Rác, which used to mean Serbian
-
Bolgár, which means Bulgarian
-
Lengyel, which means Polish
There might be more, but these 6 came from the top of my head.
UPDATE:
-
Török, which means Turkish
-
Cseh, which means Czech
-
Charles de Gaulle ahh name
Imagine François de Gaulle
There is Anatole De France.I like his well known quote.
“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”
I have to nitpick here. De Gaulle seems to come from flamish “De Walle” meaning “The Walls”, which seems to have been mutated to " De Gaulle".
So, he is a colossal titan in geopolitics, then.
This does give me a small sliver of hope.
Great, now put Orban in prison for his crimes against democracy so he can’t come back.
Magyar is just proposing a modification of the constitution (well, it’s not literally called the constitution, but imagine something similar) so that nobody can be the prime minister for more than 2 terms.
a good day indeed.
Great!
But let’s not rest on our laurels.
The next step is getting green and social democratic candidates that will garner attention and excite voters, and have a chance to do a good job that will show people that they need to vote in their best interest and those who will defend them.
Conservative liberals are way better than dictators, particularly when they like to sprinkle social policies like taxing the wealthiest more and using the revenue for public services, but they also tend to do stuff that lets things ratchet back to oligarchy.
We also should get the UK to turn back, and Poland, Italy and others to wake up too. And many are still in the edge.
I know! Let’s get Vance to do a tour through Europe! Having him endorse all the people he likes the most! That’ll show the people who they can’t trust.
JD Vance is useful. Please let him run against AOC. Now we have a woman president!
Vance would win heartily against a woman of color in the USA.
Know your own country. Racists and bigots vote.
There’s a risk that Vance would be more persuasive for conservatists and centrists if he didn’t have to obey Boss Trump. Then again, it’ll be pretty hard for him to distance himself from that shit so quickly.
Stop with the identity politics. AOC should run because she is qualified not because we need to check a box off.
@Sunforged
Nah, fuck that. On top of being qualified she brings a woman’s view on issues, and that is much needed.
@devolutionStop being a whiny snowflake. The right has plenty of those.
What a response, perfectly encapsulates a libby idpol. Thank you.
You welcome tankie toddler.
It’s a valid argument though.
She can’t win due to that little box you mentioned. No, I’m not wrong.
People will say she’s a commie and that’s a poisoned well.
I hope they learned something
Man its really hard to enjoy good news these days when you know the grim reality of your own country’s future… and what could have been.
Channel your inner pissed off hungarian and swarm that ballot box
it’s what it can be that motivates us
There aren’t any good outcomes for the US for the next few decades. Just bad and worse. I’ll be long dead before any real improvement happens.
It will be if that’s your train of thought. You are not powerless as much as your gov and your tech will tell you.
I’m not American but I know how you feel. Even in Japan, my choices are less bad vs bad and the only thing I can do is keep voting for the former.
I try to get involved with community events to at least make my small circle of influence a happy place for everyone.
