finally got disgusted with Orban's antics, especially when the media exposed his platinum plated prolonged vacation in Vietnam a year or rwo ago. He was the classic Manafort enabled, Russian inspired potentate, allowing the country to rot from neglect while he lived as large as possible.
His uncharacteristically meek acceptance of his defeat at the polls makes me think he was allowed to keep enough of his ill gotten gains to ensure a more than comfy reirement, maybe with a deal to avoid prosecution. I wouldn't fault the new government for this, sometimes you need to repair the damage more than you need to exact vengeance on the scumbag who caused it.
So far, Peter Magyar sounds really good. I'm waiting for the new government to overturn all the damage Orban did to their constitution. That will be the proof that they really have repudiated authoritarianism.
Here in the US, we're going to have to start putting traditions--like the emoluments clause and USSC justices avoiding conflicts of interests--into real laws with real consequences that will take all the fun out of things for all Republicans and the occasional Democratic crook.
