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 may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.
@katelynburns.com:
Orban was a cornerstone of the international anti-trans movements. Hungarian trans people were among the early targets of his authoritarian regime.
It’ll take a long time to come back from it all but I hope Hungarian trans people sleep slightly better tonight.
@weel.bsky.social:
Mr Magyar is not an outspoken SJW by any means, but he clearly isn’t interested in using the power of the state to promote Hungary as an international center of culture war agitation the way his predecessor did. One of the many reasons this matters outside of just Hungary.

Viktor Orban loses election, If Hungary can get rid of its autocrat, America can too

@joelhs.bsky.social:
This is probably the most important election in 2026. Whichever way this election goes, there will be huge lessons for the rest of the world.
Trump must be super shaken by Orban’s massive humiliating defeat. On the evening of April 12, 2026, Trump posted the image below of him as Jesus with his bestie Epstein, perhaps rising him from the dead, or zapping Epstein’s brain in case he comes back from the dead seeking revenge for his murder. What a fucked up image. I can’t decide which is more evil, AI or Trump who is likely wanting Epstein back for them to go rape a bunch of kids together to recover from the shock of Hungarians punting Orban’s corrupt cruel ass.

Very curious if any Conservatives have anything to say about it. Harper was very close with Orbán. If they remain silent on his loss, we’ll know why: they wished it wasn’t so.

@adamjschwarz.bsky.social:
Orbán’s electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.May you be gloriously shitting your pants Danielle Smith, UCP, Alberta separatists, TBA, and Stephen Harper
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
The fact that Orbán conceded so quickly — let alone at all — shows the astounding extent of the opposition’s win.
Orbán had literally no chance whatsoever to contest the result.
He was decisively and clearly rejected by the Hungarian people.
@mel2lou.bsky.social:
It’s less about Magyar and more about civil society, journalists and academia who have been pushing against this for years! The movement has been leading this, Magyar is just a candidate/figurehead.
Change was in the air after last year massive Pride event. It was more akin to No Kings than pride.
@girlsreallyrule.bsky.social:
Hungarian voters have ousted Prime Minister Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power, rejecting the authoritarian policies and far-right movement that he embodied in favor of a pro-European challenger in a bombshell election result with global repercussions.
@lalegault.bsky.social:
Do you understand that Mark Carney is a creature of Stephen Harper now and Canada is enduring a fascist take over?Yes, indeed, and fucker Carney is sleazing around with Kevin Robert’s evil religious Project 2025, to bring it’s horrors to Canada, as are the extremely religious madmen Alberta separatists – easier to rape women and kids and steal from the poor and environment under religious rule.

Failure!

Trump tried to help Le Pen.
He failed.
Tried to help Bolsonaro.
He failed.
Tried to help Orbán.
He failed.
See a pattern here?
Obama had the “art of the deal” with Iran. Maybe Trump should ask him how??
Lawyer translation of this
When a party leaves negotiations saying they made their “final offer”, it’s bullshit. It just means they hit their final idea and need time to think. A true “final offer” may come later, but never on the way out the door.
Vance is an amateur negotiator.
Anyone who makes a true “final offer” is NEVER in a hurry to leave but wants to keep the other guy talking, hoping they wear down or circumstances change to make them accept.
This is why it’s stupid negotiation strategy to do as Vance did. Amateurish.
And how many illegal nukes does Israel have, with USA saying nadda?

BREAKING NEWS: Pathetic and Grotesque Authoritarian Putin Stooge Orban Tossed Out of Power As Pathetic and Grotesque Authoritarian Putin Stooge Trump Remains in Power
Wow, J.D. really vanced the hell out of the Hungarian presidential election
“Vance” is a useful new verb in the English language, and one consistent with our Latinate heritage.
Compare:
ADVANCE: To move something forward.
VANCE: To cause a situation to decline or devolve.
In a sentence:
“Donald Trump’s second term vanced the American economy.”
@ElxMapping:
visits the pope → pope dies
leads Iran negotiations → talks collapse
flies to Hungary to prop up Orbán → Orbán loses in a landslide
Man’s got a streak.
charlieangus104.bsky.social:
Victor Orban the original “spin dictator” has conceded defeat. The far right around the world have looked to Orban as the model. Trump and Vance and Putin interfered again and again to try and prop him up. Clearly the people in Hungary want nothing to do with Trump.
This is a great day for democracy.

Folks, the Hungarians just ousted Orban after he spent a decade and a half consolidating power. The odds the Hungarian resistance faced were far worse than what we’re facing in the US. Like abolitionists and civil rights activists have learned here, everything seems impossible until it isn’t.
@codfather.bsky.social:
I don’t think people in the US really get it, most Europeans and Canadians, the world really fucking hate Vance and Trump. If they open their filthy mouths to interfear in a European election, they will only make it worse. They should stick to fucking up America and leave the reat of the world alone.

@danielsohege.bsky.social:
Deliberately avoiding commenting on the Hungarian elections, because I know seven eights of nothing about Hungarian politics, but finding it very telling that Orban is being touted as supported by Putin and Trump, that says quite a lot about the shift in global order for more than just Hungary.
@davidakaye.bsky.social:
for sure, congratulations to magyar. but the real heroes imo are those in civil society & journalism & rank-and-file opposition & academia who have fought against the disintegration of rule of law, the weaponization of the courts/media, & so much more for so long.

Even at its worst, Hungary has a former Orban supporter against corruption winning, in the face of Trump and others.
