The Fidesz victory on Sunday shocked the Tisza supporters. What will happen to them in April??? 😱 Get well soon! 🤷♂️
This country is hopeless and lost, there are so many sheep in Hungary. The Tisza bubble is spinning very, very fast; they really can’t understand what happened after yesterday’s Fidesz victory in Balmazújváros and the news about Tisza’s Zakó.
That’s when I realize that I’m living in a bubble too—could it be that we’re being fooled? asks a sobering-up Tisza supporter.
Unfortunately, rural people aren’t very smart. Congrats to your rough mothers, people of Balmazújváros—this is the usual Tisza-style level of hatred.
And finally, no problem, according to most opinion polls the opposition won again—that’s enough for us, indeed it is, and it’s better for Hungary this way too.
Get well soon to all Tisza supporters!
🔴 1️⃣ “There was no Tisza candidate” – post-hoc reframing
Technique: framing + damage control
Balázska presents himself as if he were:
- an outsider,
- merely an “observer,”
- not personally involved.
📌 In reality:
This is post-hoc narrative salvage. The goal is:
“This wasn’t a political defeat — it was the other side’s mistake.”
🔴 2️⃣ “It shocked the Tisza supporters” – collective psychologizing
Technique: mind-reading + group stereotyping
❌ There is:
- no specific person,
- no quotation,
- no concrete reaction,
- no verifiable data.
📌 Claim: “they are shocked”
📌 Reality: this is his assertion about them — not their own words.
👉 Message to the audience:
“Don’t listen to them — they’ve already collapsed.”
🔴 3️⃣ Pseudo self-criticism: “Maybe I live in a bubble?”
Technique: false introspection / performative doubt
This is not genuine self-reflection, but a dramaturgical trick:
- he asks a question,
- immediately answers it for them,
- then returns to mockery.
📌 The question doesn’t open thinking — it shuts it down.
🔴 4️⃣ “Rural people aren’t very smart”
Technique: dehumanization + elitism
This is open contempt:
- “sheep”
- “not very smart”
- “a hopeless country”
📌 This is not a political opinion, but:
the stigmatization of a social group.
👉 Classic inciting rhetoric, just wrapped in a “jokey” tone.
🔴 5️⃣ “This is the usual Tisza hatred” – projection
Technique: projection
The text:
- insults,
- mocks,
- talks down,
- labels collectively,
then concludes by declaring:
“this is the level of Tisza hatred.”
📌 He accuses the other side of exactly what he himself is doing.
🔴 6️⃣ Opinion polls as a psychological sedative
Technique: cherry-picking + consolation framing
“Most opinion polls were won by the opposition again.”
📌 Function:
- relativizing failure,
- calming supporters,
- shifting perception of reality.
👉 “It doesn’t matter that it didn’t work out this time — emotionally, we won.”
🎯 OVERALL PICTURE
This text simultaneously:
- mocks,
- stigmatizes,
- sows doubt,
- excuses its own side,
- collectively demeans,
- while posing as a victim.
💡 And most importantly:
Balázska is not speaking as a Tisza supporter, but as a propagandist, pushing a narrative from behind the pose of:
“I’m just observing.”
