(#6279) Even orban is better than trump

      As the election in Hungary is in full vote mode today I was hesitant about what would happen if the polling is correct. The polls showed Peter Magyar's Tisza party winning comfortably over orban and his Fidesz party. What concerned me most was how orban would react if he was to lose the vote. Since he and putin-trump are such bosom buddies would orban disrupt the election results with the same dirty tactic that trump attempted and is still crying about. That being claiming fraud, despite there being no evidence, and disavowing the results from today should he lose. But it appears that not even orban is willing to go that far out of bounds and instead says he will accept the results whatever they may be.
     That used to be the normal even when it was close races. But trump has turned our world upside down with his claim of fraud even when he was soundly defeated in 2020. So sometime today before or after 2pm here on the west coast of the US we will know the results. That would be today about 11pm Hungarian time. If the polling is accurate the outcome will not be in question. The Tisza party has a sizeable momentum coming into this election day and nothing has changed over the last few days to change that momentum. Peter Magyar should be feeling hopeful as the incredible turnout is voting in throngs. The Hungarian people have been waiting for the right moment to undo the mistake of orban and it may well be today that it happens.
     As bad as orban has been to democracy he is still not as bad as trump. Both putin and trump are the last large obstacles to democratic life on our planet. Both trump and putin are feeling the push back on their quests to subjugate people at their behest. Ukraine is bleeding Russia in unbelievable ways and with some help today from the Hungarian people that bleeding will continue to grow. Meanwhile every where trump tries to harm Americans we are not taking it lying down. So come the midterms trump is going to get a rude awakening that will neuter his further ambitions to become a king. All told today is hopefully the first step off the cliff of authoritarianism for orban and then putin/trump thereafter.
