Hungarian president Viktor Orban sailed to victory on Sunday on a Christian nationalist, anti-LGBT, anti-immigration and Hungary First anti-war platform.

Viktor Orban declared victory over six foes in his speech:

1) The "left" at home
2) The "international left" abroad
3) The Brussels bureaucrats
4) George Soros
5) The international media
6) Volodymyr Zelensky

In his victory speech, Orban mocked Zelensky for attacking him before the election:

Despite polls claiming the election would be neck and neck, Orban won in a landslide and his party managed to pick up two seats.

With nearly 100 percent of votes counted,

Orbán nets +2 seats, retaining a supermajority of 135,

in a nearly **20-point** electoral landslide.

Orban ran on keeping Hungary out of the war and maintaining neutrality with Russia.

Orban condemned the invasion, backed EU sanctions on Russia, and even signed a decree permitting new NATO deployments to Hungary -- but still stands accused of "supporting Putin" because he's declined to turn Hungary into another staging area for uncontrolled arms shipments

Orban campaigned on keeping Hungary out of the war, and accused his opponents of wanting to drag Hungary into the war. This is evidently considered some kind of horrifically authoritarian "pro Putin" position. Even so, Orban won by a landslide 🤔 pic.twitter.com/uCG4grMGJc

He also ran against pushing LGBT propaganda on children.

Apart from the election, Hungary also held a referendum today on whether or not to ban sexually explicit media in sex-ed and sex-reassignment information targeting school children.

Voter turnout was 67% and between 92-96% of people voted no on the referendum questions. pic.twitter.com/pCNPATd3RI

3) Posters from Orban's Fidesz Party that advocated for the child protection law were up all over Hungary in the run-up to the election. I took a picture of this one in Budapest.

I believe the proposed law played a significant role in Orban's win. pic.twitter.com/L2UCuYBIno

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) congratulated Orban on his victory and said we need similar laws to protect children here in America.

Congratulations to Viktor Orban on winning a victory well deserved! He’s leading Hungary the right way and we need this in America.

America should also ban sexually explicit media in sex-ed and all gender change information for minors under 18 intentionally confusing children. https://t.co/sHzCEOWjJw

“More than 200 international observers monitored the election…along with thousands of volunteers from across the political spectrum.

Turnout hit 68.69%, almost matching the record number of voters in the last national elections”

Amazing how little democracy exists in Hungary! pic.twitter.com/c25uH6Fe36

In case you have any doubt this “democracy” nonsense is fake.

One of the reasons the EU is mad at Orban is because he allowed mail-in voting without an ID. pic.twitter.com/7MutEHsA4v

In Serbia's election, Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic also sailed to victory with a pledge to maintain "friendly and partnership relations" with Russia.

Meanwhile, not only did Vucic win in Serbia by a landslide, but the more Russophile nationalist forces collectively did better (18% of the vote) than pro-EU ones (17%) for the first time in history. Crushing 🇷🇸 victory, Atlanticists in shock and disbelief! pic.twitter.com/AfSCtLTw6s

The masses clearly don't have the same appetite for World War III and child drag queens as our corrupt Western leaders.
