      I’m just guessing, but it might have something to do with just how badly he lost. Trump’s loss was only a couple percentages, so he was pretty sure there would be no real consequences to try because like 40% of the country supported him.

        Actually Orban had 38.6% of the votes. It’s just that he gerrymandered the electoral law so much that it amplified his own defeat.

    They won by focusing on fighting corruption instead of culture wars. I hope the Democrats are paying attention. They’re probably not though.

        You keep the progressive values, but you keep the center of attention over the blatant corruption and show a genuine commitment to correct it. Otherwise the conservatives will hijack the attention away from the corruption again and continue the perception that “either side will sell the country to billionaires anyway”.

      Maybe the new Hungarian government won’t be left economically but at least they won’t be progressive on social issues, huh? Keep on winning, liberals. You won’t hear a peep on this from EU starting now though so it’s all good.

    I must admit that I’m surprised at how gracefully he took his election defeat. Credit where credit is due, I guess, but he can still go gargle on Vovkas balls.
