Hatred is what the supporters of the Tisza Party are good at — nothing else! But messages can still arrive in the red mailbox this week!

Red Mailbox campaign, Rákospalota, Mézeskalács Square. The first messages have arrived from “the country of love.” “Traitor of the homeland, shame on you, rat.” I’ll just note for the Tisza supporters that “shame on you” is spelled with two Ls. So spelling is still a bit of a problem, though incitement to hatred is already operating at a high level.

The point is that in recent weeks it has become clear that we always receive far more sensible, useful development ideas than hateful messages from Tisza supporters. It will be the same here — the red mailbox will remain out until Sunday. There is also a brown mailbox at the corner of Bánkút Street and Szentmihályi Road, because one of the red ones was stolen by someone.

So feel free to send your messages and good advice — all of them will be included in my candidate program. And together, collectively, with the ideas of the people who live here, we will make North Pest great and set it in motion.

1️⃣ Enemy Image Construction (“Tisza supporters are hate-mongers”)

📌 Technique: collective labeling + moralized opposition

👉 “Supporters of the Tisza Party” are portrayed as a homogeneous, aggressive bloc.
👉 It does not refer to individual messages, but assigns a collective moral judgment.

🎯 Goal:

“Us” = builders, program-makers
“Them” = hate-mongers
Suggesting moral superiority


2️⃣ Moral Contrast – “Land of Love” vs. “Hatred”

📌 Technique: ironic framing + value contrast

Messages such as “rat” and “traitor” are said to arrive from the so-called “land of love.”

🎯 Goal:

Constructing an exposé-style narrative
Portraying the opponent as self-contradictory
Undermining their moral credibility


3️⃣ Mocking Spelling (“shame on you – with two Ls”)

📌 Technique: intellectual belittlement + humorous shaming

👉 The focus shifts from political content to spelling mistakes.
👉 The critic appears incompetent.

🎯 Goal:

Ridiculing the opponent
Demonstrating intellectual superiority
Trivializing the conflict


4️⃣ Adopting a Victim Position

📌 Technique: victim framing

“One of the red mailboxes was stolen.”

👉 It is presented as a symbolic attack.

🎯 Goal:

Mobilization
Eliciting sympathy
Activating a moral defense reflex


5️⃣ Narrative of Community Involvement

📌 Technique: participatory framing

“Together with the ideas of those who live here…”

👉 Suggests a democratic, bottom-up approach.

🎯 Goal:

Legitimizing the program
Strengthening community identification
Balancing out the confrontational elements


6️⃣ Activation of Local Identity

📍 Rákospalota
📍 Mézes Kalács Square
📍 North Pest

📌 Technique: strengthening territorial attachment

🎯 Goal:

“We, the locals” identity
Creating a more personal campaign atmosphere
Bringing the candidate closer to voters


🎯 Overall Picture

The communication operates on three layers:

  1. Generating conflict (hate-mongering opponent)
  2. Claiming moral superiority (“we build, they destroy”)
  3. Promising community inclusion (co-creating the program)

This is a classic combination of polarization + moral contrast + community integration.
