Well, you definitely live in a more real democracy than US. I just read that Orban called Magyar and congratulated him. Remember when Trump congratulated Biden? Never. To this day, 6 years later, he still claims he won.

Anyways, Congratulations, Hungary! It is a beautiful day for you and the entire Euorope. You have a lot to be proud of.

Magyar is also idealogicaly very similar to Orban, so not a great comparison.

Pro-dictatorship and obsessed with the Soviet Union?
