If Orban is forced to accept the election results, this might be a very helpful precedent for us in 2028.

We know he will have ALL the cash and thievery our own GQP have planned for our November. I would not be the least surprised if he wins with Putin level landslides. This election will be a mirror we will need to look at closely. It may be a roadmap to our own election corruption. They are getting all the advice, tactics and cash Russia and USA USA USA can get to them. And they are experts at the game.
And trump has already promised to Vickie that all the tax payer money they need from OUR bank will flow to them, not child care Medicare or Medicaid.
I hope not but I see a China, NK, and Russian level victory for ole Vicky Orban.
I hope it is an ass kicking defeat that will put fear into GQP right wing clowns world wide. But The smugness on all our GQP faces with a majority of a nation hating them, is not the image of fear of losing. More of an arrogance of, “You Idiots do not have a clue what’s coming”, they will control the world. Just all the White House destruction is not for trump to be leaving, it’s for permanent occupation. With the Trump gene pool each waiting their turn of being the next billionaire puppet.
