Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.
I am begging you, if you haven't followed Hungarian political discourse in Hungarian over the last few weeks/months, perhaps hold back on your wild theories about what will happen in Hungary after the elections and whether Orbán will accept the results. My god.
But no, Hungarians have now made it more than clear that there is hope.
The problems will be resolved, the key is to hold on to one of the greatest achievements in history -- the Western democratic civilization -- and not foolishly surrender it to the jackals falsely promising mountains of gold.
Jokes aside, this is an incredibly important day for freedom and democracy and, most importantly, for basic common sense and human dignity, in the spirit of 1989.
“Viktor Orbán is now speaking at Fidesz’s election night and he says the election result is “clear” as he concedes defeat.“
I'm in Odesa, where Russian drones terrorized the city overnight, killing a man and a woman as they slept. I guess Moscow wanted to get in more deadly strikes before the brief Easter ceasefire is supposed to take effect at 3pm Ukraine time today.
The US president literally just threatened war crimes and genocide. In an illegal war he is waging.
It doesn’t matter if Trump follows through with the war crimes he has threatened. It’s madness that this man is still in office. Utter madness (and cowardice, complicity, etc etc)

However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end.

The president of the United States threatening/announcing genocide on his social media site.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
These are the words of the president of the United States, today.
The president speaks genocide. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

In February of last year, the Trump administration declared six Mexican cartels to be foreign terrorist organizations. These same organizations are acquiring ammunition made at a plant owned by the U.S. Army.

Die Verschwörungen, die die rechte Medienblase aus dem Fall Ulmen herbeihalluziniert, sind absurd. Aber es hätte sehr geholfen, wenn der @spiegel.de in Sachen #Deepfakes nicht so kunstvoll unterschiedliche Dinge miteinander verwoben hätte: uebermedien.de/115711/warum... (Abo)

There's a company that stole all the intellectual property it could grab because they found it on the internet. No payment to the creators.
The same company is upset that people are grabbing the company's intellectual property that has been sitting on the internet.
