April 1st is April Fools’ Day — more precisely, the day of pranks. By now, it has spread all over the world that on this day people play the most absurd jokes on each other: pranks, fake news, teasing, impossible stories. I feel that this year we didn’t just get this on April 1st, but have been living in it for months.
I know many of you feel the same way — that you don’t even want to open social media or news sites anymore, because day by day we’re being fed more and more absurd stories.
👥 Spies, fake spies. Spies who lie about whether they are spies or not. Impossible stories. If all this weren’t about our lives, it might even be entertaining — but it isn’t anymore. In fact, it’s deadly serious, and all of this is aimed at making everyone uncertain about what is real and what is a lie.
But I suggest we don’t let ourselves be fooled, and we don’t allow them to make a mockery of us — and that we put an end to this deception that has been going on for nearly two years. We need to trust our judgment and, with a firm decision, stand on the side of common sense. I wish everyone perseverance in this, because we won’t have to wait much longer.

Fidesz is the safe choice!
👉 Main narrative:
- “The world = chaos, lies, manipulation”
- “People = uncertain, confused”
- “Fidesz = rationality, stability, reality”
👉 Hidden formula:
chaos + information disorder + emotional fatigue + “rational solution”
→ “escape uncertainty → choose Fidesz”
🔍 What is actually happening here?
1️⃣ Reality confusion framing
👉 Excerpt:
“fake news, impossible stories”, “you can’t tell what’s real and what’s a lie”
👉 Technique:
- discrediting the entire information environment
- creating a sense that “everything is confusing”
👉 Goal:
➡️ you lose your reference points
➡️ you can’t distinguish truth from falsehood
👉 Effect:
➡️ you stop verifying → you decide emotionally instead
2️⃣ Cognitive overload
👉 Excerpt:
“more and more absurd stories day by day”
👉 Technique:
- too many contradictory inputs
- creating a feeling of “I’m fed up with all of this”
👉 Goal:
➡️ exhaust critical thinking
➡️ create demand for a simple solution
👉 Effect:
➡️ “just bring order already” → you become more receptive to a strong narrative
3️⃣ Abstract enemy framing
👉 Excerpt:
“deception”, “they are trying to confuse everyone”
👉 Technique:
- no clearly identified actor
- building the image of an “invisible manipulator”
👉 Goal:
➡️ create general distrust
➡️ make all alternative information seem suspicious
👉 Effect:
➡️ you trust no one → except the one who “makes sense of it”
4️⃣ “Common sense” as a manipulation tool
👉 Excerpt:
“we must listen to our عقل (reason)”, “the side of rationality”
👉 Technique:
- own position = rationality
- opposing views = madness / foolishness
👉 Goal:
➡️ shut down debate (“if you disagree → you’re not rational”)
➡️ signal moral and intellectual superiority
👉 Effect:
➡️ you don’t argue → you align
5️⃣ Soft conversion to political decision
👉 Excerpt:
“don’t let this happen… side of rationality… 11 days left”
👉 Technique:
- no abrupt propaganda → gradual transition
- emotional state (confusion) → decision (vote)
👉 Goal:
➡️ make the political conclusion feel natural
➡️ avoid triggering resistance
👉 Effect:
➡️ the final choice feels like a “logical decision”
6️⃣ Urgency framing
👉 Excerpt:
“11 days left”
👉 Technique:
- countdown
- pressure to decide quickly
👉 Goal:
➡️ no time to fact-check
➡️ fast, emotional decision
👉 Effect:
➡️ you react → you don’t analyze
🔥 Core takeaway (short):
➡️ first it breaks your sense of reality
➡️ then it mentally exhausts you
➡️ then it offers a “simple, rational” solution
➡️ finally it turns it into a political decision
🎯 What’s the strongest trick here?
It doesn’t rely on concrete lies or numbers.
It doesn’t attack directly.
👉 Instead, it makes you:
- trust nothing
- feel exhausted
- and ultimately look for a “safe anchor”
➡️ and then it provides that anchor:
👉 “Fidesz is the safe choice.”
