Could it be that Tisza is not leading by 16%?? 🤡😂
A Fidesz tour de force in Balmazújváros!
Even though the pro-Tisza press was getting very ready ✌️
“Balma is the new city,” everyone should be saying — Fidesz won a by-election there yesterday in a district where a Fidesz candidate last managed to win back in 2014.
So maybe Tisza isn’t leading by 16% after all?
Maybe Péter Magyar is lying about this too — just like on taxes, pensions, the war, and migration?
Could be.
🔴 1️⃣ False conclusion drawn from an irrelevant event
“Fidesz triumph in Balmazújváros”
👉 The problem is:
the Tisza Party DID NOT RUN in that by-election.
📌 If someone does not run:
- they do not win
- they do not lose
- they cannot be measured
Therefore, this result cannot be used to draw conclusions about nationwide support or to refute a supposed “16% lead.”
🔴 2️⃣ Strawman + mockery framing
“Could it be that Tisza isn’t leading by 16%?? 🤡😂”
Technique: mockery framing + strawman
- no poll is cited
- no indication of who, where, or when measured it
- it simply mocks a claim that is neither proven nor disproven
📌 This is not an argument, but psychological pressure:
“If you think this, you’re ridiculous.”
🔴 3️⃣ Local victory → national narrative
“Fidesz won in a district where it last won in 2014”
This may be news in itself, but:
- ❌ not a national election
- ❌ not a party-list vote
- ❌ not a Tisza–Fidesz comparison
📌 Projecting a local by-election result onto national power relations = deliberate distortion.
🔴 4️⃣ Character assassination without evidence
“Magyar Péter is lying again… about taxes, pensions, war, migration”
Technique: character assassination + issue stacking
- not a single concrete quote
- no rebuttal
- no source
📌 The goal is not truth, but association:
“If he’s lying about this, he’s lying about everything.”
What is REALLY happening?
This message is not about Tisza at all. It is about:
- ✅ reassuring one’s own camp
- ✅ maintaining the feeling of “we won”
- ✅ suppressing uncertainty through mockery
📌 Classic internal propaganda:
it is not meant to convince skeptics, but to keep supporters in line.
The truth in one sentence
It boasts about the result of an election in which the opponent did not even run—and then draws nationwide conclusions from it.
This is not analysis.
This is not debate.
This is a communication trick.
