Péter Magyar’s real coup was winning over loyal Orbán voters – not preaching to the converted He is no progressive but unlike the old opposition, the Tisza leader listened to Orbán’s rural base, says Nóra Schultz, podcaster and political theorist

It’s electability, stupid.

What Fidesz said about Magyar two years ago. Doesn’t this sound like dismissive MAGA blather?

This week a democrat was accused of sexual assault.
It took exactly 3 days for his fellow Democrats to remove him from power.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admited that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be proescuted as well.

You can’t separate veterans from the military. Together that’s about equal to health.

I’ve always been a fiscally conservative left-winger, proud to endorse “tax and spend” policies as opposed to the libertine Reagan Doctrine of borrow and spend.

Do you remember that the term “fake news” first referred to truly fake Russian agitprop, but Trump saw how useful the notion could be to 1) protect himself, and 2) sow distrust.

So, while this psychology will apply to all of us, his cultists have been primed with their first defense.

Hungarian election winner Magyar vows to rebuild EU relationship after stunning defeat of Viktor Orbán - Europe live The Tisza leader said the electorate voted ‘not just for a change of government but for a change of the regime’

Lessons for US:

1) Magyar was _electable_.

2) Anti-Orban groups united to support an “imperfect” (to them) candidate.

3) He worked really, really hard.

We have people who can meet 1 and 3. Can _we_ meet 2?
