They will replace Fidesz with 1990's Fidesz (Orbán started out as a eurolib)

[Fidesz] was formed in 1988 under the name of Alliance of Young Democrats (Fiatal Demokraták Szövetsége, with the acronym FIDESZ) as a centre-left liberal activist movement that opposed the ruling Marxist–Leninist government. It was registered as a political party in 1990, with Orbán as its leader. It entered the National Assembly following the 1990 parliamentary election. Following the 1998 election, it successfully formed a centre-right conservative government.

My mind first went to the OG bathroom

Takaichi often cites Margaret Thatcher as a role model. Takaichi also has the nickname "Iron Lady", like Thatcher.

BadEmpanada made a video arguing that the term "genocide" should be done away with because of how much it muddies the waters (as an example he compared the Srebrenica Massacre, declared a genocide in court, versus comparable massacres elsewhere in Bosnia that weren't). It also overlaps with a bunch of other legal terms like crimes against humanity, so it ends up diminishing atrocities that come close but for one reason or another aren't considered one.

[Scott Bessent] joined Soros Fund Management (SFM) in 1991 and was a partner there throughout the 1990s, eventually becoming head of the London office. In 1992, Bessent was a leading member of the team whose bet on the Black Wednesday collapse of the British pound garnered over $1 billion for the firm. His bet against the Japanese yen in 2013 brought additional profit.

He absolutely meant it in an antisemitic way though, there's no other reason to use that as an insult (maybe for anticapitalist reasons I guess, but to specificy Soros specifically would be sus, also we're talking Elon here)
