<![CDATA[I remember being really shocked finding out Trump won in 2024.]]>I remember being really shocked finding out Trump won in 2024. Because I new that was a decisive dark moment in history.

On Sunday, there is a new decisive moment, when the Hungarians decide if Viktor Orbán's corrupt regime continues, or Péter Magyar takes over.

Let this time be different.

The Hungarians need a brighter future.

The world needs a brighter future.

you're talking about this:

Orban's chances of winning Hungary election drop after JD Vance rally

Orban is one of President Donald Trump's key European political allies.

so it's the same as saying stupid shit about , helping lose to

so while is right to be bothered by populist right wing assholes from outside the coming and messing in european , europe can take some solace that the move tends to backfire

the problem with your statement is every candidate possible has problems. and even if they were practically angels, simple human gossip would find something, anything, about them that could be criticized, and reduce them to "shit lite"

essentially: in life, yes, your only options, now, in all history, and forever more, is between shit and shit lite

and if you don't make a choice, you only guarantee shit

while if you consistently choose, you iterate to better

I don’t prescribe to the idea that in order to not be shit, let alone actually be good, we have to first tolerate shit light.

There are surely not shit candidates the world could promote and promise good relations with, to give them a serious boost in the polls.

I really hoped this will be better, but as far as I have read Péter Magyar is a soft liner of Viktor Orbán.

Your far right replacement theory is laughable claptrap and racist with it. The EU is currently experiencing a large influx (hundreds of thousands in the past year) from the US. It won't ever be American. Clearly you don't know anything about the EU and have the intelligence and ethics of your leader. Suggesting you stick to Twitter is generous. TruthSocial would be more appropriate.

true words, Randahl. I posted on Facebook earlier after seeing a post claiming that JD Vance's endorsement of Orban dropped Orban 3 pts. So, I said, JD needs to go back 2 more days!

That is math, not politics.

They have also made a lot of dumb economic decisions, like Germany becoming dependent on Russian gas and then getting rid of its nuclear power.

Russia is worse, yes. That doesn't make the EU good. I'd like to see Eastern Europe remain independent from both.

If the EU and Russia get into a war they will want the USA to come in. We should not.
