Many thanks to Lockback for sharing this article on another thread.
I thought it needed it's own thread.
The article is about the Magyar who defeated Orban in Hungary has many of the same views. The author says Magyar snookered the far left into supporting him. I don't know Hungarian politics that well and I don't claim to know much about Hungary.
But it's clear that some who do think this was a masterstroke of deception.
It's going to be worth digging into because the left has tried it and I think it's time we start doing it too.

Voters knew that 4-term prime minister Viktor Orban had exceeded his sell-by date. His government had grown stale, sclerotic, and shady around the edges. The globalists only really knew that Orban opposed illegal immigration and was a friend of Donald Trump.
For them, that was enough to open their hearts and their checkbooks. One time Orban ally, the 45-year-old Peter Magyar opposed Orban. A win for Magyar was thus a rejection of Trumpism, a triumph of good over evil, democracy over fascism, open borders over nationalism. Hoorah!

Better Still, The Left Paid for Its Own Humiliation
