(#6280) Democracy triumphs in Hungary

      I have been looking forward to writing this post. It is always smart to temper excitement with alternative possibilities but inside me I knew from the build up to the election that the people of Hungary had had enough of orban and his putin bootlicking. They saw that hitching their horse to the failed policies of putin, only a miscarriage of their pursuit of happiness was inevitable. So yesterday and into the evening Hungarians swarmed the election booths and made known their desire for a change far beyond anything orban had shown possible. Peter Magyar, the newly elected prime minister is not perfect nor will he be but he is a good man who will lead with his people as his highest priority.
     I am ecstatic for the people of Hungary and for the countries that Hungary is aligned with. The European Union and NATO. As well as Ukraine who is also defending itself from the Russians who were being helped by orban. Now that orban is removed, Ukraine will get more help to deter the invading Russians and keep Russia back within it's own borders. Not only is a contentious relationship with Europe gone overnight but a strengthening of that relationship with Europe is its replacement. The mood in Hungary is joyous and the mood in Europe is nearly as such. Even here in the States we many Americans are well pleased that a wannabe Hungarian tyrant has been removed.
     This victory by the Hungarian people has to be a shock to the forces that are trying to end democracy. As well it should be because the power of we the people is greater than their petty imaginings. People yearn for freedom, liberty, and justice as a foundation for their lives. None of us wishes to be yoked to the desires and wishes of someone else's dictates! We have our own pursuits of happiness while doing no harm to embrace. This is what democracy avails us and in a no doubt way Hungarians showed the world that nothing short of democracy is their combined pursuit! We, who as of yet are not as victorious as the Hungarians are today, are inspired to join them as quickly as we can. To cast out our own tyrants into the abyss in order to claim the equality of our own democracy!
