Orbán's downfall was no doubt facilitated by the endorsement of Donald "let's fuck up the entire world" Trump and JD "Mr. Charisma" Vance.

And it's a huge blow to both of them.

And the Kremlins whereabouts.

All three of those fuckers can blow me, as well

A good sign for democracy worldwide. We can push back the tide - we just need to turn out and have our voices heard.

Idk.....I'm not as optimistic about it. Magyar only left Orbans party because Magyar's wife was part of a big controversy after she helped pardon a pedophile.

We can all hope for the best, but I think this is more of a battle for control of the reins rather than a dispute of political ideology.

Well fuck, thanks for inviting reality back into this little fantasy of consequences.

Hungarian politics is just awful, it's just nepotism and graft all the way down.

~~I thought the important bit is that it's his Ex-Wife as he was the one that exposed the controversy, leading to the divorce?~~ but I might be missing some details...

EDIT looks like it was:

  1. Divorce
  2. Govt Scandal (involving ex-wife)
  3. Him exposing more info and leaving the party

Nah, he just rolled on her after it became public.

Judit Varga, his ex-wife, is a piece of shit. After she pardoned a pedophile, she has been trying to distract from this by claiming abuse.

Even such a fracture means the party is no longer unified and able to further damage the constitution and rule of law - I'd still find hope there.

Ha ha get wrecked!
