I think you are. Orbán's past electoral successes had a vital component which is simply missing now. Long story short, Hungarians see this guy and his successors as the greater evil for them, and it's hard to argue with that. There is now a true alternative to both Fidesz and this so-called "old opposition" (óellenzék).
Árad a Tisza ♥️🤍💚!
I'm more talking about how he's Kremlin linked, and they've surely rigged the voting system by now. I'm sure the people want him gone, I'm just not sure the people have the voice they think they have. Same w the US.
