Well first a new voting system would be required because Orbán, after winning in an unproportional system, decided to make the system even worse. So now, even if he only gets 45-54% of the vote, the same exact 68% supermajority is guaranteed.

I think the left side scale is cm over 1m, so he would be 167cm, and the right scale is just a flustercuck.
No no, Orbán doesn’t want to be a dictator, he wants Fidesz to be the only party. You know this because he would hand over the PM post to Máté Kocsis any time and you know he would because Máté acted like a sack of shit in the pardon scandal.
But yes. The govt is bullshitting its way through being a dictator.
Hungarian here. tf??? Tbf, basically everyone here says “haha the western dollar-media doesn’t understand our government/people/culture und und und”. Even Opposition voters.
Also, Orbán is only the third or second worst option. We also have actual Neo-Nazis in parliament, thankfully not yet to AfD/right extreme FPÖ levels.
For young people, No. 1 is becoming pretty clear, although parents influence is a thing.
For a bit older people up to gen X, it’s “yeah sure but the opposition isn’t better” (which it is, but everyone is homophobic) or “playing two sides is smart” not realising how fucking cynical that is today.
For even older people, ie retirees, it’s that Fidesz ramps up retirement pay close to every election like a pet-owner playing with their dogs.
Note that what is now the Opposition had a speech recorded in 2006, where the party Leader, Ferenc Gyurcsány, openly said “We have lied through the last eight years” and “We fucked this [very vulgar version]. Not a little, [we’ve fucked this] a lot”. Orbán is obviously lying way more but he doesn’t say it out loud (Or is smart enough not to get it recorded).
If you want ice scraped off the pavement in russia, just write Навальный [Naval’nyy] on it.
The country, meanwhile, is the uncanniest Mr. incredible, but instead of black and white, it’s orange and white (We love Fidesz)
