What good news! The autocratic Orban and his "illiberal democracy" have been handed a huge defeat. Unlike Someone, Orban has accepted defeat and conceded.
Orban had pledged fealty to Putin, and our own president, who is securely in Putin's pocket, endorsed Orban and sent the despicable JD Vance to Hungary to promise financial support from the USA. (This, when we supposedly can't afford health care and the forestry service, and, really, anything that makes life better for us non-plutocrats.)
I have to admit that along with being happy for this defeat for a far-right government, I take pleasure in seeing Vance coming back with this defeat added to his failure to negotiate a treaty with Iran. Couldn't happen to a more deserving sycophant.
I'd like to believe that this is a tidal shift that will propel a Blue wave at the midterms.
Fingers crossed.

Something hopeful, at least.
So hope this is true lay the direction of the pendulum swing.
I like to believe that too.
Democrats are winning elections at every level all over the country. I have high hopes for the mid-terms.
I think you are on to something. And yes I was surprised Orban lost since NYTimes had an article (of which I only read the title) that implied there was a way he would manipulate the election to win. It is a very good sign.
