I think this is notable - the Biden economy was growing healthily & had finally overcome its COVID inflation hangover. There was no obvious fundamental reason the economy wouldn’t have kept growing nicely if Trump were normal!
Whenever people claim “Dems need to sell what they did!” I always bring up the is photo of Biden an McConnell celebrating infrastructure investments in Kentucky and NO ONE is aware this happened.
Because media and social media influencers don’t actually spread positive Dems news.
This reads like the childhood diary of a future school shooter.
I want you all to notice how everyone is glad Hungary voted for the opposition instead of the fascists, and nobody is like “maybe they should’ve let the fascists win again to teach the opposition a lesson”
Because that would be just unfathomably stupid to say
FLOPPPPPPPPPP
and she'll always be a fucking loser
dude is legit fucking fried, absolutely batshit crazy, should be locked up in a home with 24/7 surveillance at this point
and once again the press wanted him to win
It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...
competitive authoritarianism is bad but it is absolutely still beatable if you show up in large enough numbers
november is step one for us
Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here
he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor
and still, they threw him out
and you know what? they did it by voting
don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter
we will have to see how well he follows through but so far the rhetoric from Magyar is a pitch perfect model for what we need from the next Dem administration
no mercy, no reconciliation
Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.
bring back shame
It’s 1:00 am in downtown Budapest at Rákóczi square. By all indications, the party is just getting started. 🔥
It’s a rather cathartic feeling getting rid of an autocrat who’s had a chokehold on the nation for sixteen consecutive years.

I think people are underestimating how angry people are at the corruption.
This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job
Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.
took them forever and a fucking day to get there but party i guess
it's literally the dumbest of the dumb trying to run this shit and that's why everything is always a colossal fuck up with that orange pdf file
don't think he'll have the choice, at this point they will drag him out into the street...and it's deserved because he's an absolute piece of human garbage. don't do what idiots in america did, follow what south korea and brazil did y'all!
The Inflation Reduction Act never gets enough credit. Truly one of the most powerful pieces of legislation in my lifetime.
I think this fundamentally mistakes why guys like Swalwell do it. The abuse and power dynamic is a feature, not a bug.
everything the man does literally just makes things worse off than they were before, this is literally 'everything trump touches dies' territory for the millionth time
“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”
yet the uproar over the original deal the obama admin had worked on...like this is legit insanity.
it truly is a cess pit around here y'all, good old boys club are too fucking comfortable. time to clean house in washington co. and sullivan co., iykyk 👀
