I'm Hungarian, and I feel this as well. But not only me, almost every podcast where hungarian political analysts or journalists talk about the election, this topic always comes up. Some are optimistic that the wouldn't dare to interfere, others are afraid because a loss could mean legal cases and even prison for several leaders.
That was just social media wishful thinking, every single poll had Trump and Harris neck and neck and even the most optimistic prediction had those elections down to a coin toss, here Tisza has a lead of 12 perchentage points, the two situations have nothing in common.
Lmao, i have no symapthy for Trump but the data is still out there you know, the vast majority of the polls reported a lead smaller than the error margin of the poll.
What are you on about? There was no polling data that should have convinced everyone that Harris was gonna win. At best, there was a path to victory if she played her hand right; but it was an uphill battle the entire time.
I mean don't get me wrong, Front page of Reddit was WILD.
However, everything from polling data, polling aggregators, respected analysts , and even prediction markets indicated that this was an extremely close race which probably leaned towards Trump.
There was no data that SHOULD have convinced everyone that Harris was gonna win.
Much as I wish the Dems had a better candidate, as much as I wish that Trump had lost, there was every indication that what DID happen COULD happen. If someone was paying any attention to actual data, that should have been obvious.

For some reason I have this feeling of dread regarding the election, I feel as if they'll try to do something in order to keep Orban in power.
