@chadfelixg I have never encountered hatred from this movement for being gay. But I have encountered hatred from the left for my politics. Proud to be a part of this movement and thankful to have known Charlie as a friend for the short amount of time we had him.

🇭🇺 Hungría acaba de elegir el parlamento más derechista de su historia moderna. Tisza: 138 escaños (54,3%) Fidesz: 55 escaños (36,9%) MH: 6 escaños (5,9%) Izquierda: 0 escaños (2,8%) El 97,2% del voto fue de derecha. La izquierda no perdió: se extinguió.

TISZA 🇭🇺 seguirá manteniendo la misma política en materia de inmigración. Ahora mismo Péter Magyar 🇭🇺 sobre la multa de la UE 🇪🇺 por infringir las normas de asilo de inmigrantes: “Dejaré claro a la Presidenta de la Comisión Europea y a todos los líderes europeos, que Hungría adoptará una postura muy estricta sobre la inmigración y no aceptará ningún pacto ni mecanismo de asignación de este tipo, y además mantendremos la valla fronteriza reforzada e incluso taparemos los agujeros que hay ahora, porque hay agujeros en esa valla fronteriza, probablemente no por casualidad. A diferencia de Orbán, no liberaremos a 2200 traficantes de personas finalmente condenadas. Estamos hablando con honestidad y realmente queremos proteger a nuestro país y Europa de la inmigración ilegal. Hay formas legales de venir y deben respetarse, así que puedo decir que encontraremos la manera de resolver esta multa. Lo que puedo decirles es que intentaremos resolver la cuestión y que TISZA continuará con una política estricta con respecto a la inmigración ilegal.”

Biden gave 1.5 million people temporary protected status. He ended the remain in Mexico policy, reversed Trump’s asylum cooperative agreements with third countries, paroled anyone caught entering illegally and allowed them to stay indefinitely. Those were all executive actions too. The “legislation” you refer to would not have reversed any of that, just give Biden a way to legalize all the people who shouldn’t have been here to begin with, and provide window dressing ahead of an election. If Biden wanted to make a difference, he could have reversed his own executive actions which caused the problem, or actually get serious by proposing legislation to limit defensive asylum applications, and expand expedited removals.

@evan_draim @noreasonbutinfo @fellaraktar Lay off the propaganda. The last serious attempt by Congress to legislate the border was killed by Trump himself.

Thank you America. You went first. You showed the rest of us that right wing populists are full of shit, achieve nothing and will drag nations into the abyss. Your example might have saved Europe from a dangerous shift. Good luck in November, my friends! 🫡 You got this.

@noreasonbutinfo @fellaraktar Biden didn’t need Congress to pass additional laws; he could’ve used his executive authority to secure the border like Trump did within 100 days. But he didn’t want a secure border, just window dressing ahead of an election, after he created the border crisis to begin with.

@evan_draim @fellaraktar Biden put forth an immigration plan that was blocked by republicans because they wanted this as a campaign issue. It was Biden’s fault that he gave up after that. We admit that. We never blocked any effort to secure the border. It’s the cruelty in deportations we oppose.

@noreasonbutinfo @fellaraktar Tell that to the Democrats who block those efforts every step of the way.

@evan_draim @fellaraktar It’s never been about immigration for decent Americans. It’s the hate, racism, cruelty and corruption of MAGA that we cannot stand for. Just like Hungary. We want secure borders and have no problem with that.

@michaeljknowles She’s celebrating because she has no clue about Hungarian politics.

“Peter Magyar is even more right-wing than Orbán!” Look who’s celebrating:

@BlueGeorgia He also vowed to end Orban’s guest worker program and eliminate all non-European migration. He is a right wing populist but less corrupt and with a pro-western orientation. theironfairy.substack.com/p/in-hungarys-…

Melissa Bell: The crowd was shouting 'Russians Out'. This was the cry of the Hungarian uprising back in 1956. Peter Magyar has won the supermajority of the Parliament, which will allow him to change the constitution. He vowed to return Hungary to the rule of law.

Lots of weird takes on the Hungarian election result from both left and right here. Peter Magyar is a socially conservative immigration restrictionist who wants to cut taxes and double the defence budget. He criticized Orban for admitting too many guest workers, and wants to increase Hungary's already generous pro-natal incentives. On virtually every issue, his platform is well to the right of centre, by European standards. His foreign policy is to end Orban's alliance with Putin, remove the Hungarian veto on EU loans to Ukraine, normalize relations with the European Union while opposing more Euro integration, and strengthen relations with Eastern Europe's anti-Russian governments, e.g. Poland. His election was not a sudden shift to the left, but a rejection of Orban's corruption, the failure of his interventionist / statist economic policies, and the humiliation of his relationship with Putin.

@hwinkler4real And strict immigration enforcement

A victory for mankind and free choice

@ML3democrats Magyar promised to end Orban’s guest worker program and completely cut off all non-EU migration. He’s more right-wing on immigration than Orban. Are you suggesting we should have that in the United States too?

Hungary now, United States next

Liberal?!? Stop commenting on Hungarian politics when you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Magyar criticized Orban for letting migrant workers into Hungary. And he said that migrants were stealing ducks from the Budapest Zoo to eat them. Magyar is also a right wing populist, just more EU-friendly and not corrupt.

BREAKING : Another defeat for Right Wingers across the world A 45 year old young & dashing Liberal Péter Magyar is all set to become the next Hungarian Prime Minister 🔥 Enough of 80 year old Trumps or Netanyahus. The world needs more young leaders now, more than ever 🫡

@Angry_Staffer @dmvtravel80 He also promised to end Orban’s guest worker program and said migrants were stealing ducks from the Budapest Zoo to eat them.

@dmvtravel80 Magyar campaigned on access to healthcare, restoring relationships with NATO, and anti-corruption.

Hungary’s voters spoke out forcefully against far-right bullshit and isolationist policies. Good.

@esjesjesj Magyar attacked Orban for being too liberal on immigration and said that migrant workers were stealing ducks from the Budapest Zoo to eat them… but sure let’s call him woke because it fits your narrative.

WOKE IS BACK!!!!!

@SenatorWarnock Glad you support Peter Magyar! He’s a right wing populist who wants to secure Hungary’s borders and attacked Orban as too liberal on immigration. Hopefully you are going to follow his lead in the United States. theironfairy.substack.com/p/in-hungarys-…

Congratulations to Péter Magyar on his victory in Hungary. The Hungarian people have sent the world a message by rejecting corruption & attacks on democracy today. A reminder for all who value democracy & freedom that the arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice.

@GavinNewsom You forgot to mention stricter anti-migration policies

JD Vance proves he's a lightweight twice in 48 hours. Congratulations to the people of Hungary -- democracy, free press and human rights win today. There is hope.

@RepJeffries Orban lost to another right wing populist who said that Orban was too liberal on immigration. Hungarian politics is not a battle between left and right; it’s a battle between different factions of the right. theironfairy.substack.com/p/in-hungarys-…

Far-right authoritarian Viktor Orbán has lost the election. Trump sycophants and MAGA extremists in Congress are up next in November. Winter is coming.

@ThePoliticalHQ Why are you commenting on Hungarian politics when you clearly know nothing about the subject? Magyar is also a right wing populist. He criticized Orban for being too liberal on migration. There are no viable center-left parties left in Hungary. theironfairy.substack.com/p/in-hungarys-…

Viktor Orbán losing in Hungary honestly feels like a breath of fresh air. Nationalism and xenophobia work the same way every time; make people afraid, turn neighbors into enemies and blame outsiders for problems that come from bad leadership. It works for a while. Not forever. Looks like Hungarians got tired of it. Congrats to Peter Magyar. Picking accountability and democracy over fear isn’t some grand complicated choice. It’s just about trusting people more than propaganda.

@ThePoliticalHQ Magyar shares Orban’s views on immigration, and actually may be even more right-wing on that issue. He said that migrant workers were stealing ducks from the Budapest Zoo and eating them, mirroring Trump’s “they’re eating the dogs” line.

Viktor Orbán didn’t just lose an election, he built his politics around dividing people. He’s talked about Hungarians as a “non mixed race.” He’s pushed laws banning LGBTQ people from being shown to minors in schools or media, basically treating their existence as something harmful. His government banned Pride events and even allowed authorities to identify people attending them. He’s called LGBTQ rights an “offensive” and compared liberal values to a “virus.” That’s not just rhetoric, it’s turning fear and exclusion into policy. Eventually, people get tired of being told who to fear and who doesn’t belong. Looks like Hungarians did.

@ThePoliticalHQ The election was a repudiation of Orban’s corruption, not his domestic agenda. The challenger Magyar is also a right wing populist who attacked Orban from the right on migration, saying that he let too many guest workers into the country. theironfairy.substack.com/p/in-hungarys-…
