    I’m still honestly shocked that Orban just kind of ceded without a fight. No challenging results? No hard or soft coup? He’s been in power for decades and was clearly one sick and corrupt fuck… So to abdicate power like that… It just doesn’t track with me.

      My understanding is that the victory was too decisive to really argue over. He can’t really cry foul or cheating effectively since it was his damn government running them. He just… Doesn’t really have a good way to fight it. Rather than looking like a petulant toddler *cough*Trump*cough*, he bowed out and accepted defeat.

      He’s in hiding now and the government are shredding every file they can get their hands on.

      They know they’re fucked in more ways than one

      There’s more to the story for sure but we won’t get the details until the wars die down and people start talking.
