❌ Enough of Tisza’s hate campaign!
Recently, I spoke with Aunt Margit, who was already campaigning for Fidesz back in 1998, but she says she has never received a threat like this before. Someone pinned a message to her door telling her she was forbidden to continue campaigning, and they wrote about her in an utterly unacceptable tone.
👉 This is the result of Péter Magyar and his people making hatred and vile abuse the norm among their supporters. But we know that you can never build a homeland or a community on that!
The national government believes in the power of love and stands for peace. That is why Fidesz is the only safe choice!
“They also put something on my door.”
“On your door? Did they stick some kind of note on it?”
“Yes.”
“And what did they put there?”
“Well, they wrote: ‘In Hungary, you are not allowed to campaign for Fidesz, I forbid it.’”
“Someone actually forbade you?”
“Yes, and then there was all sorts of stuff, calling me a complete idiot.”
“Do you really mean that? Was your name written there specifically?”
“So in practice, they were threatening you here.”
“Yes, they know I support Fidesz.”
“Really?”
“Seriously? But had there been threats before?”
“Well, nothing like this. They did say before that they would never vote for Fidesz. But nothing like putting something on my door.”
“And what exactly did they write?”
“Well, exactly that, with my name nicely written, ‘Margitka, I forbid you to go campaigning for Fidesz,’ and then they scribbled on it.”
“And they saw that it was there?”
“Yes, because I had already been campaigning there for a while before. So they saw me out campaigning, and then they wrote that they were forbidding me, forbidding me from campaigning.”
“And they wrote some nasty things too?”
“Yes.”
“And what did they write, if I may ask?”
“Well, I don’t know exactly what they wrote.”
“Oh dear… in this so-called country of love… Horrible.”
“Well, I’m very sorry.”
“But please don’t lose your enthusiasm.”
“I understand.”
“Please don’t let this horror break you. That’s what these people are like, and that is exactly why we have to be there on April 12. All the best to you, and please don’t let them get to you.”
🧠 Quick Overview
👉 Main narrative:
- “Elderly Fidesz supporter = victim”
- “Opposition (Tisza / others) = aggressive, threatening”
- “Campaigning = has become dangerous”
- “Election = self-defense / standing your ground”
👉 Hidden formula:
fear + empathy + moral outrage
→ “if not us → this is the kind of world that comes”
👉 🔥 Core message:
➡️ a single, unverifiable story
➡️ emotional shock → political mobilization
➡️ ending: “go vote (for Fidesz)”
🔍 Manipulation techniques
1️⃣ Victim narrative (victim framing)
👉 Excerpt:
“they stuck it on the door… they forbid it… they threatened her…”
Technique:
- elderly woman → automatic empathy trigger
- “defenseless citizen” image
Goal:
- emotional engagement (not rational level)
- “this cannot be allowed”
Effect:
➡️ viewer immediately sides with the “victim”
➡️ critical thinking decreases
2️⃣ Unverified story presented as fact
👉 Excerpt:
“someone forbade it… they posted it…”
Technique:
- no evidence (no photo, no name, no context)
- yet treated as an established fact
Goal:
- trigger fast emotional reaction
- remove time for verification
Effect:
➡️ “if it was said → it must be true”
➡️ even fake or distorted stories can work
3️⃣ Enemy construction (enemy framing)
👉 Excerpt:
“they forbid it… insulted her… wrote nasty things…”
Technique:
- no specific perpetrator
- yet clearly implied: “they” (the opposition)
Goal:
- suggest collective guilt
- demonize the political opponent
Effect:
➡️ “they are dangerous”
➡️ polarization increases
4️⃣ Fear framing
👉 Excerpt:
“this never happened before… threats…”
Technique:
- sense of escalation (“things are getting worse”)
- turns it into a personal safety issue
Goal:
- voting = self-defense
- not a political decision → a survival reaction
Effect:
➡️ fear = strongest mobilizing force
➡️ rational thinking pushed into the background
5️⃣ Leading interview
👉 Excerpt:
“Are you serious?”
“They threatened you?”
“They wrote nasty things too?”
Technique:
- interviewer steers the answers
- reinforcing (non-neutral) questions
Goal:
- extract the desired narrative
- dramatize the story
Effect:
➡️ not a spontaneous conversation
➡️ شبه-scripted interaction
6️⃣ Emotional closure + political call-to-action
👉 Excerpt:
“that’s why we must be there on April 12”
Technique:
- story → immediate political conclusion
- no logical transition
Goal:
- emotion → vote conversion
Effect:
➡️ classic propaganda arc:
story → outrage → action
7️⃣ “It wasn’t like this before” (nostalgia + decline narrative)
👉 Excerpt:
“this never happened before”
Technique:
- idealization of the past
- present framed as dangerous
Goal:
- change = threat
- “we must return to order”
Effect:
➡️ activates conservative reflex
➡️ reinforces status quo protection
