Paroxeteen @paroxiteen.bsky.social · 11/04/2026I have extremely Catholic in-laws who grew up in Poland and have a visceral hatred for Russia. Because they hate The Gays so much, they actually love Orbán, hate Zelenskyy, and they’re ok with Putin. Never underestimate the weirdness of the trad Caths. This election matters to them, too. 3210
Massimo Sforzo @olendumb.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Nahhhh... Probably Orban will just be replaced by another traitor that is on the Lavrov hot line. 000
lord-of-the-pyrs.bsky.social @lord-of-the-pyrs.bsky.social · 11/04/2026The most important consequence for Trump would be for US voters to see this type of election interference being used, and hopefully shown to be resistible. 001
Bluemeade7 💙 @bluemeade7.bsky.social · 11/04/2026The parallels with the Trump regime are unmistakable and telling. We are now fully aligned with Putin. 000
imeanhello.bsky.social @imeanhello.bsky.social · 11/04/2026If Orban loses, and Lord hope he dies and big, expect Trump to be completely hellbent on doing everything he can to disrupt, discredit and even delay the midterms to ensure he doesn’t go the same way… 112

Vincent Stuer @vinstuer.bsky.social · 11/04/2026It would matter most if the EU drew the lessons. Orbánism thrived on the EU resources curse: who needs democratic support if you have the money to rule from above? Others have learnt that lesson… and get away with it. edition.cnn.com/2026/04/11/e...edition.cnn.comA $1.5 million roundabout from nowhere to nowhere shows the ‘Orbánist economy’ | CNNAhead of a pivotal parliamentary election Sunday, opponents ask what Hungary has to show for vast sums of European Union funding brought in under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. 012
mustlovedogs10.bsky.social @mustlovedogs10.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Felt hope in this: Timothy Snyder, “The most important consequence for Trump and to Vance of Orbán's defeat would be the revelation that history is not in fact going in a single direction, that their power, or the power of people like them, is not assured for all time. 163
