Yesterday was a great day for Democracy.
With voter turnout approaching close to 80 percent, the people of Hungary gave a massive F-You to Hungary’s Prime Minister, Putin puppet, and Trump Project 2025 role model, Viktor Orban, the person who has spent the last 16 years running that country’s economy into the ground while unleashing a stream of corruption, putting his plutocratic allies in key positions in the judiciary, universities, and press.
The opposition forces of Peter Magyar, despite Russian disinformation efforts and Trump/Vance endorsements for Orban, through their dual messaging of combatting corruption and reviving the country’s economy, have secured enough seats in the Hungarian Parliament to form a super majority and start the process of dismantling what Orban has done to that nation in his time as Premier.
That dual message of combatting corruption and reviving the economy for the people could resonate in other nations that mirror Orban’s governing philosophy like Israel and the United States, two nations that are also holding national elections this year.
Both nations, with White Nationalist-Neo Fascist leaders (Trump and his allies in the United States, Netanyahu and his allies in Israel,) who have driven their economies into the ditch, are engaged in open corruption and enrichment for their cronies and families, are targeting innocent minorities, and have driven the world into a potential economic calamity with their ill conceived war of choice against Iran, should be ripe for political change when elections come.
Reacting to the Hungarian Election results, Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego posted:
“Hungary just proved something the whole world needed to see: people will stand up and reject authoritarianism when it matters most. They chose Democracy, NATO, and the EU over Putin and illiberalism.
This is a humiliating blow to Trump and Vance, who went out of their way to campaign for Orbán. Turns out voters aren’t buying what they’re selling.”
Appearing on Morning Joe, 2016 Popular Vote Presidential Winner and former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that what happened in Hungary demonstrates how the power of the people could prevail over the forces of the reactionary right and their attempts to manipulate election results, saying that Democrats should take the themes of the Hungarian victors yesterday and run on accountability and affordability as a winning message.
Look at the below post Trump released after attacking Pope Leo XIV.
Representative Ansari is right.
Trump is mentally unstable, issuing posts that both portray him as a Messianic figure and threaten to wipe out Iranian/Persian Civilization.
He is tremendously incompetent as his management of the economy and taking the country into war against Iran demonstrate.
He is openly corrupt, as he and his family enrich themselves at working and middle-class taxpayer expense while prioritizing vanity projects like a triumphal arch and new ballroom over funding health and day care for the American People.
Hillary Clinton and Ruben Gallego are right.
Never underestimate the power of the people.
They will pick Democracy, competence, and anti-corruption all the time, especially when pro Democratic candidates run on a message of economic revival, affordability, and anti-corruption.
This is an historic opportunity for the forces of positive change, progress, accountability, and Democracy.
Do not blow it.
History is watching.
