I've seen a lot of references online to a "J.

I assume Orban conceded because the opposition's victory is too staggeringly large to deny. It's important for us to remember that, were he in Orban's position, Trump would never concede, no matter how large the margin.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

I've dealt with the press directly for two mayors, two cabinet ministers, maybe seven campaigns, and been a spokesperson for a provincial govt at 10+ intergov meetings. And I'm struggling to imagine how it would go if I'd ever delivered "take [our principal] very seriously" as a key message.
