Cements Orban's fanboys J D Vance and Trump as losers along with Putin.

 

This is the most important day in Europe right now

Basically, Trump is electoral poison in Liberal democracies outside the US, His Bravado kills off support for the right wing...

 

It happened in Canada, where the Trudeau administration was deeply unpopular, and a conservative Government was almost assured.

 

Trump got elected and started talking about Canada as the 51st state and the polls swung back  .. Looks like a similar impact has been seen in Hungary

So Luxon, Seymor are not looking for a Vance, Trump endorsement. :-) 
Winston has gone so wild he might court it.

 

After celebrations hard work begins.
Much of Hungary's wealth after 16 years of corruption is controlled by Orban, Family, Friends now Oligarchs.

 

Wealth has power, will be looking for weak in opposition to elevate to turn the tide.

 

Zebras, wealth and power: Hungary’s election tests Orbán’s grip on power | Viktor Orbán
https://www.europesays.com/people/21093

""
The drone footage showed a sprawling residence in northern Hungary, complete with manicured gardens, a swimming pool and an underground garage. But it was what came next that captured much of the country’s imagination: zebras darting across the countryside.

 

The property caught on camera belongs to the father of the country’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, offering a glimpse of the staggering wealth amassed by his inner circle, even as most in Hungary have become poorer. References to the zebras – which came from a neighbouring property belonging to Orbán’s best friend and Hungary’s richest man, Lőrinc Mészáros – soon began turning up across the country; plush toys were sold at protests, people posted videos of their own treks to spot the animals, and photos of zebras were plastered over government billboards.

He may not be a liberal as such, but people who are on the right are getting tired of kleptocrats too.
The kind of conservative right with some principles and realization these steal from them as well.
There are those on the right that want to deal with facts, not BS alternative truths.

 

I expect many voters just held their nose and voted for a better choice, if they could not get a perfect one.
One step at a time. It won't be perfect Government, but a better one is a start.

 

American voters could take a lesson.
Better to vote a calamity out and keep them out than wait for perfect candidate.

 

Was the damage Trump has and will continue to do to America and the world worth your wait?
Now you have lifelong appointments in lower courts and prospect of future Supreme appointments.
Government gutted, and loyalists in controlling positions, who will be difficult to remove.
Elon's DOGE, Government data they siphoned off and hackers who have been inside the system.
A whole host of America's would be Kleptocrats, techbros, wideboys, hucksters inside the system enriching themselves.

 

Wars started that you just can't walk away from, negative effects that will roll on for decades.
All because Kamala, Waltz not perfect enough to save your country. 

 

Everyone else from Canada, EU as a whole, the World have to live with lasting damage of American stupidity.

 

Who Knew, waiting for perfection is almost as good as voting for the other guy.

Americans should be constitutionally prohibited from voting in US elections. The rest of us can look after them.
