lol

I'm sure it has nothing to do with propping up rabid progressive DA's or illegally funding campaigns or skirting the laws on campaign contributions.

Most here don't , really. He was played up as some sort conservative cultural icon mainly for his stance on immigration. Beyond that and even with that most Trumpin MAGAs will forget his name by Thursday at the latest. They forget that many Hungarian voters were fed up with him and Fidesz.....and had been for a while. His opposition sucked and was disorganized and could not agree on a coherent message.

Where do you think that strategy originated? That's the point.

I'm not even saying he's a good guy, but it's clear that he is a primary target of propaganda talking points flowing from Putin and Russia. He can be a bad man and still have things amplified for NPCs.

bullshite!

What a load of crap.

The main reason anyone knows about Soros is (1) His play on the pound in the early 1990's. (2) His persistent anti-American activities. (3) His money laundering abroad, especially in Ukraine, where he attained significant government control to aid his efforts, (4) His unrepentant participation (as a jew) in Nazi confiscations of Jewish belongings during WWII.

I just don’t think it has to be as neat and clean and simple as that.

Sure, globalists eventually would want those countries a bit more controllable and under their wing I guess.


I believe destroying the United States is all important first. I don’t think us attacking Iran or leaving them alone is any sign of globalist meddling or non meddling.

Anything that can rip the American middle class and white folks apart is cool in the globalist’s book.


I kind of reject your entire premise. The USA is king if Russia/China/Iran/etc is severely weakened and broken up anytime soon.

ETA: no freakin way globalists want to break up that gang right as the USA is deciding just how hard to reject the left.

Something is happening in Western countries and I think significantly enough that SOMETHING will happen. I don’t mean fighting or anything close. But politically, the left has a lot to prove to people and even though it will swing a bit and be ugly at times, the right has the left in a pretty solid headlock as far as painting them in a pretty dangerous light.

The last thing globalist want to do is clear out that evil group of countries right as white people and rational people reject the current left’s trajectory.


I wholeheartedly reject your vision for what globalists want here.

From the political platform of the winning party -

* Lift defence spending to NATO's target of 5% of GDP by 2035.

* Suspend new permits for workers from outside the EU from June.

* Not accept the relocation of migrants from western Europe and opposes EU migration quotas and its migration pact.

* Seek a bilateral strategic partnership with the U.S. focusing on energy diversification, security and transparent economic cooperation.

* Strengthen Hungary's European and Western orientation.

* Clamp down on corruption and cut back on unjustified public investments.

* Cut the budget deficit from 5% to below 3%

* Limit state intervention in the economy and markets.

* Not send troops to Ukraine and does not plan to revive conscription.

* Greater transparency in public procurement, tougher conflict-of-interest rules.

* Two-term limit for prime ministers.

* Cut income tax for 2.2 million workers earning below the median wage. The current 15% rate would stay in place for higher earners.


Doesn't sound like any kind of loss at all, Just Orban without the absurd levels of corruption.

I'm all for the restrictive immigration policies and the anti-corruption campaign, but nursing at the Russian energy tit not a good thing today, yesterday or in the future.

So the globalist lefty dems took this as a win because they think the anti Soro's open society laws will go away?

Or they think they can name the new guys price to puppet him?

This is what they said about Zelensky when he took power. Then the story changed.
