How could Hungary’s governance be entrusted to them❓
How could they represent the interests of Hungarians—of the residents of North Pest in our case❓

☝️ A candidates’ debate is being held this afternoon by the XV District municipality. According to reports, Péter Magyar’s candidate will NOT be there.

Either she doesn’t dare to attend, or she has been forbidden from doing so—it doesn’t really matter. The point is that she will not be there, will not stand before the public, and will not answer questions from voters, journalists, or the other candidates.

❗️This once again proves that she is not an independent actor. She is merely a puppet—the local proxy of the Tisza Party, directed from Brussels, Berlin, and Kyiv. (Moreover, among the 106 silenced Tisza puppet candidates, she is one of the weakest and most insignificant, having already made several mistakes during the campaign.)

In civilian life, she may well be an excellent teacher, but in times of danger she has no place in Parliament, where in the next four years representatives will be needed who can say NO to external forces and stand up for Hungarian interests at any cost! 🇭🇺

The Tisza candidate in North Pest is not such a person!

Of course, in the end the voters will decide. But fortunately, the people of North Pest are not naïve!

It is no coincidence that, according to polls, the hiding, evasive, fleeing Tisza candidate can count on only about 20% support.

☝️ I am looking forward to debating the politicians of the Two-Tailed Dog Party, Mi Hazánk, and the Democratic Coalition. The Tisza podium will likely remain empty—unless the candidate receives different instructions at the last moment.

📸 PHOTO: On the occasion of Women’s Day, I greeted the Tisza candidate in North Pest, but we never got beyond a simple “good morning”—neither then nor at any other time. We know nothing about her plans. And that was not because of me… 🌻

🔍 Main narrative

👉 “The Tisza candidate is weak / incompetent / hiding”
👉 “Not independent → controlled from abroad”
👉 “Does not represent local people”
👉 “We (Fidesz side) = strong, present, competent”
👉 “The election = strong vs. puppet”

👉 Classic: weakness narrative + external control + lack of local representation

🧠 Influence techniques

1️⃣ Statement disguised as a question (guided thinking)

👉 “How could they be trusted with governing…?”
👉 “How could they represent…?”

Technique: rhetorical question
Goal: avoid having to prove anything → make the answer seem “self-evident”
Effect: the reader is placed in a negative frame from the very beginning

2️⃣ One event → total incompetence

👉 “will not attend the debate”

Technique: overgeneralization
Goal: turn a single decision (skipping a debate) into a full character judgment
Effect: “didn’t show up” = “unfit to lead”

3️⃣ Inventing motivations (no evidence framing)

👉 “doesn’t dare to come / was told not to come”

Technique: speculation presented as fact
Goal: every possible explanation is negative → no good option remains
Effect: the reader receives a ready-made narrative without evidence

4️⃣ Character attack / labeling

👉 “puppet”
👉 “weightless, weakest”
👉 “hiding, fleeing”

Technique: labeling
Goal: trigger emotional rejection
Effect: the debate shifts from policies to personality

5️⃣ External enemy + control narrative

👉 “controlled from Brussels, Berlin, and Kyiv”

Technique: enemy coalition + foreign interference framing
Goal: strip legitimacy
Effect: “does not serve Hungarian interests”

6️⃣ Competence framing (“time of danger”)

👉 “has no place in times of danger…”

Technique: fear framing
Goal: raise the stakes → require strong leadership
Effect: the opponent automatically appears insufficient

7️⃣ False dilemma

👉 “either stands up for Hungarian interests / or is a puppet of foreign forces”

Technique: false dilemma
Goal: eliminate nuance
Effect: simplified, binary choice

8️⃣ Bandwagon (majority perception)

👉 “people are not stupid”
👉 “only around 20% support”

Technique: bandwagon / majority illusion
Goal: “everyone already knows”
Effect: social pressure to conform

9️⃣ Pre-framed interpretation

👉 “hiding, sneaking, fleeing”

Technique: narrative anchoring
Goal: lock in interpretation for future events
Effect: if they appear later → “they were hiding until now”

🔟 Pseudo-balanced closing

👉 “the voters will decide”

Technique: pseudo-balance
Goal: create an appearance of objectivity
Effect: earlier strong framing feels more acceptable

🧩 Overall picture (short)

👉 One concrete event (missing a debate)
→ forced negative interpretation
→ personal attack
→ foreign control narrative
→ fear (“time of danger”)
→ majority pressure
→ “we are the strong side”

👉 This is a clear model:
“weak candidate + foreign puppet + unfit → choose the strong one”

Being a Tisza supporter is embarrassing!

Being a Tisza supporter is embarrassing. Those who still stand with the Tisza party are unacceptable, violent, aggressive figures. We’ve reached the point I’ve been talking about for a long time: joining Tisza, lining up behind Péter Magyar, and serving foreign interests is something to be ashamed of. That’s why there are fewer and fewer of them, and that’s why even the head of 444 — the liberal outlet that hates Orbán — is now admitting that a confident Fidesz victory is expected on April 12.

🧩 Main narrative

👉 “Being a Tisza supporter is embarrassing”
👉 “They are aggressive, unacceptable people”
👉 “Their support is shrinking”
👉 “Even opposition media admits it”
👉 “A Fidesz victory is inevitable”

👉 Classic arc: discrediting → isolation → majority perception → inevitability

🧠 Techniques in detail

1️⃣ Labeling / stigmatization

👉 “embarrassing”, “unacceptable”, “aggressive figures”

Technique: labeling
Goal: shift focus away from arguments and trigger disgust
Effect: social pressure (“don’t belong to them”)

2️⃣ Generalization (individual → everyone)

👉 “those who are still there… are like this”

Technique: overgeneralization
Goal: discredit an entire group
Effect: individual differences disappear → “they’re all like that”

3️⃣ Social shaming

👉 “Being a Tisza supporter is embarrassing”

Technique: shame-based persuasion
Goal: attack identity, not political positions
Effect: people distance themselves to avoid being seen as “embarrassing”

4️⃣ External betrayal narrative

👉 “serving foreign interests”

Technique: betrayal framing / questioning national loyalty
Goal: create moral panic
Effect: turns debate into “who is a traitor”

5️⃣ Bandwagon / inevitability

👉 “there are fewer and fewer of them”
👉 “a confident Fidesz victory is expected”

Technique: bandwagon effect
Goal: “join the winning side”
Effect: undecided voters drift toward the perceived majority

6️⃣ Hostile media framing

👉 “Orbán-hating liberal portal”

Technique: source delegitimization
Goal: frame even the cited source politically
Effect: all information appears “side-dependent”

🎯 Overall pattern (very clear)

👉 group stigmatization
→ social shame
→ betrayal narrative
→ suggestion of declining support
→ inevitability of victory

👉 This is a classic combination of psychological pressure + identity attack + majority illusion.

⚠️ What’s happening inside you (important)

The fact that it makes you angry is not accidental.

👉 it’s written exactly to:

  • provoke
  • humiliate
  • trigger anger

➡️ because anger:

  • polarizes
  • triggers reactions
  • reinforces conflict

🧠 Quick “defense” against it

recognize: “this is a technique, not reality”

don’t react emotionally → that’s the goal

So that even the most fanatical opposition voter can understand ❗️

I’ve briefly written down what an average person (like me) can read from the national security report that was made public yesterday. From this, it becomes clear why we say that the Ukrainians are “already in the pantry” and inside the Tisza Party.

☝️ It also makes it obvious what is at stake in the April election.

Let’s take a look ❗️

The key figure is an expert referred to as HD – a young IT specialist, a computer guru, a hacker…

🇺🇦🇪🇺 In 2022–23 (when Hungary’s anti-war stance was already clear), HD was recruited by foreign intelligence services to act against the Hungarian government and in the interests of Ukraine.

HD attended (training) in the Baltics and in Kyiv, met with and communicated via encrypted channels with the Ukrainian “IT Army of Ukraine.”

Since 2023, HD has visited Ukraine’s embassy in Budapest multiple times ❗️

HD was also received at the embassy of at least one EU country in Budapest, where he was given training and assignments.

HD is in contact with the intelligence services of several EU countries, to whom he reported on Hungarian domestic politics and from whom he also received tasks related to domestic politics.

❗️ According to liberal outlets, HD is (or was??) an IT specialist of the Tisza Party ❗️

In the summer of 2025, a report was filed against HD alleging that he may have been planning to produce online child pornography content; a house search was conducted at that time. (This is presented by the liberal fake-news media as an attack against Tisza 🤡)

☝️ THAT’S IT IN SHORT!

This is what I can read from the declassified document available on the Parliament’s website. (Link in the comments.)

❗️ If this is still not clear to someone, then they are truly blinded by their hatred of Orbán.

I don’t want to offend Péter Magyar, but in this whole story he is a “nobody.” He is merely a lying, controllable clown, a replaceable puppet who has been led to believe he could become prime minister.

The “big players” are foreign states, multinational corporations, the pro-war mainstream, certain EU and member-state leaders—who will do ANYTHING to bring down Viktor Orbán’s national government. Because the Orbán government is a “disturbing factor” in the execution of Europe’s war plans and does not support Ukraine’s EU accession.

☝️ And war, as well as Ukraine’s accession, is a huge business. For certain circles. Just not for the Hungarian people!!!

🇭🇺 In the April election, in the interest of our own future (our peace, our security, and our wallets!!), we must stop these foreign forces.

Only Fidesz is the safe choice 🧡

Share this so that people on the other side also wake up to what is happening!

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Tisza = a foreign intelligence network”
👉 “Péter Magyar = a puppet / insignificant figure”
👉 “West + Ukraine = conspiracy against Hungary”
👉 “Orbán = an obstacle → that’s why he is attacked”
👉 “Election = national defense vs foreign interference”

🧩 Hidden Formula (very clear)

a “classified report”
→ layman interpretation (“this is what I read from it”)
→ a story built around a specific person (HD)
→ accumulation of unverifiable claims
→ linking Tisza to the story
→ criminal element (child pornography suspicion)
→ global conspiracy (EU + intelligence services)
→ existential threat (war, money, future)
→ single solution (“only Fidesz”)

👉 Classic: “half-information → narrative → enemy → fear → voting”

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ “I’m just a simple person” framing

👉 “an ordinary mortal (like me)”

Technique: pseudo-naivety / credibility building
Goal:

  • reduce critical resistance
  • “if he understands it, so can you”

Goal:

  • trigger immediate rejection
  • bypass logic

Effect: “if linked to this → automatically bad”

👉 This is one of the strongest manipulative elements in the text.

7️⃣ Construction of a grand conspiracy

👉 “foreign states + multinationals + EU leaders”

Technique: conspiracy framing
Goal:

  • fit everything into a single narrative

Effect:

  • simplifies the world

Technique: dramatization
Goal:

  • maximize perceived threat

Effect: emotional overload

1️⃣2️⃣ Direct mobilization

👉 “Only Fidesz is the safe choice”
👉 “Share it”

Technique: call to action
Goal:

  • political + digital amplification

Effect: propaganda becomes self-propagating

🧠 Overall Picture (very important)

This text is:

👉 not information-sharing
👉 but a complex influence construct

Key elements:

  • half-information + assumptions
  • personal story (HD)
  • moral shock (child pornography)
  • global conspiracy
  • fear + money + war
  • binary choice

⚡ In short (brutally concise)

👉 This is a classic “national security panic narrative”
👉 goal: opponent = foreign agent + threat
👉 tools: fear + disgust + conspiracy
👉 endpoint: “there is only one correct choice”

Magyar Péter’s candidate will not attend the North Pest candidates’ debate. The Tisza party has clearly abandoned this constituency! Barkóczi Balázs must be defeated, and we will bring momentum to North Pest! #northpest #pestujhely #kaposztasmegyer #rakospalota #ujpalota

Tomorrow is the candidates’ debate. I know, I’m preparing for it here in the fresh air of Pestújhely. There’s some fresh news: it turns out that Magyar Péter’s candidate will not be coming. Either they don’t dare to come or they’re not allowed to—either way, they won’t be there. Are we surprised? Not really—everyone locally already knows and feels that the Tisza party has let this constituency go, that Magyar Péter and his team have given it up. Fortunately, Barkóczi Balázs will be there, so we’ll have a big battle with him. The election “barometer” has, of course, been updated as well—because of the news that the Tisza candidate isn’t coming, Müller with the “Netflix-style” campaign is dropping in the rankings.

🔍 Main narrative

👉 “Tisza candidate = weak / afraid to debate / disappeared”
👉 “Péter Magyar = has abandoned the district”
👉 “Fidesz candidate = present, fighting, competent”
👉 “The election = strong vs. weak”
👉 “We are winning → we have momentum”

🧩 Hidden formula (very clear)

an event (doesn’t attend the debate)
→ ambiguous explanation (“afraid / not allowed to come”)
→ forced negative interpretation
→ generalization (“they’ve given up the district”)
→ competition framing (“big battle”)
→ elevation of own candidate
→ seemingly objective data (“barometer”)
→ political conclusion (“we are gaining strength, they are weakening”)

👉 Classic: event → framing → weakness narrative → mobilization

🧠 Influence techniques

1️⃣ False dilemma / suggestion

👉 “He doesn’t dare to come, or he’s not allowed to come”

🎯 Goal:

  • offer only negative options
  • exclude neutral / rational explanations

💥 Effect:

  • the audience automatically assumes weakness

2️⃣ Cowardice narrative (character attack)

👉 “doesn’t dare to come”

🎯 Goal:

  • suggest personal incompetence
  • shift focus from policy to personality

💥 Effect:

  • trust decreases
  • emotional rejection increases

3️⃣ Generalization from a single event

👉 “Tisza has abandoned the district”

🎯 Goal:

  • turn one decision into a strategic failure

💥 Effect:

  • the whole party appears weak

4️⃣ “Us vs. them” contrast

👉 “they don’t show up → we will be there, we fight”

🎯 Goal:

  • build moral and competence superiority

💥 Effect:

  • stronger identification
  • increased polarization

5️⃣ Battle/competition framing

👉 “we will fight a big battle”

🎯 Goal:

  • dramatize the election
  • increase emotional engagement

💥 Effect:

  • voting = struggle
  • higher mobilization

6️⃣ Bandwagon / momentum illusion

👉 “we will bring momentum to North Pest”

🎯 Goal:

  • create a sense of inevitable victory

💥 Effect:

  • “join the winner” psychology

7️⃣ Pseudo-data (barometer)

👉 “the election barometer has been updated → going down”

🎯 Goal:

  • create the appearance of objectivity
  • legitimize claims with numbers

💥 Effect:

  • more easily accepted without criticism

8️⃣ Normalization (“not surprising”)

👉 “not surprising… everyone knows this”

🎯 Goal:

  • present the claim as consensus

💥 Effect:

  • social pressure
  • reduced doubt

🎯 Overall picture

This is a textbook character attack + momentum-building campaign message:

👉 absence from debate
→ cowardice narrative
→ party weakness
→ own side = active, strong
→ “we are rising, they are falling”

🧠 In short (one sentence)

👉 A single event (skipping a debate) is framed as proof of the opponent’s overall weakness and retreat, while portraying the speaker’s side as strong, active, and on a winning trajectory.

They’re going to prison! 🤡 That’s all the Tisza supporters can scream 😂

You’d better all stay out of the way. Are we supposed to pick people like these fools? “You’re going to prison, you’re going to prison.” One of these Tisza supporters came over here—well, not just came, he was shouting from his car and then from the sidewalk. Exactly the same kind of guy as the ones who caused a scene in Kecskemét last night during the Prime Minister’s speech.

That’s all they can do. And then there was this “you’re going to prison” shouting—meanwhile, for every one of them, there are ten Fidesz supporters just waiting to put an X next to us on April 12, so that people like these “you’re going to prison” types finally fall silent.

That’s how it is.

🔍 Core Narrative

👉 “Tisza = primitive, aggressive, shouting people”
👉 “They only cause trouble, they have no substance”
👉 “We = normal, silent majority”
👉 “The election = order vs. chaos”
👉 “Voting = getting rid of them”

🧩 Hidden Formula (very clear)

one incident (shouting in the street)
→ exaggeration (“that’s all they can do”)
→ generalization (“they are like this”)
→ comparison with another case (Kecskemét)
→ discrediting the group
→ majority narrative (“there are always 10 Fidesz supporters for each”)
→ political conclusion (“they should be silenced”)
→ mobilization (“April 12 – vote”)

👉 Classic: event → generalization → demonization → voting

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Generalization from a single case

👉 “One of these Tisza people came here… same kind of figure as…”
👉 One person’s behavior is projected onto the entire group

🎯 Goal: simplify reality
💥 Effect: “they are all like this”

2️⃣ Labeling / dehumanization

👉 “they shout,” “they cause trouble,” “idiots” (distorted/pejorative framing)

🎯 Goal: make the opponent look ridiculous and primitive
💥 Effect: you stop seeing them as a political actor, but as a “problem”

3️⃣ Repetition (mantra)

👉 “You’re going to jail, you’re going to jail”

🎯 Goal: fix it in the mind
💥 Effect: emotional trigger instead of rational thought

4️⃣ Emotional distortion (anger framing)

👉 emphasis on shouting, conflict, provocation

🎯 Goal: trigger outrage
💥 Effect: “these people are unacceptable”

5️⃣ Guilt by association

👉 “same as those causing trouble in Kecskemét”

🎯 Goal: merge separate events into one narrative
💥 Effect: isolated case → systemic pattern

6️⃣ Majority illusion (majority framing)

👉 “there are always ten Fidesz supporters for each”

🎯 Goal: suggest the majority is on their side
💥 Effect: bandwagon effect (people align with perceived majority)

7️⃣ Normalizing silencing the opponent

👉 “people like this should be silenced”

🎯 Goal: legitimize political removal (symbolically)
💥 Effect: no debate → elimination

8️⃣ Binary worldview

👉 “they = shouting chaos”
👉 “we = normal voters”

🎯 Goal: simplify the choice
💥 Effect: no nuance → easy decision

🎯 Summary

This text:

👉 takes a small, specific incident
👉 turns it into a characterization of an entire political group as a “loud, primitive mob”
👉 and uses it for electoral mobilization

🧠 In short (one-sentence formula)

👉 “Demonizing a loud minority → activating the silent majority”

🤡🤡 The Tisza candidate isn’t allowed to come and debate! Péter Magyar won’t let her. Even though I would have gladly asked what she thinks about the Tisza agent scandal!

But there’s nothing scary here. I came to 5th Street in the 15th district, where tomorrow’s candidate debate will take place, and the Tisza female candidate cancelled. My colleagues said it might be because there’s something frightening at the venue—but there isn’t. So it’s possible she’s afraid of the debate.

And seriously, does anyone think we should entrust the future of North Pest to such a candidate? Should the people living here vote for someone who isn’t even allowed by Péter Magyar to say “good afternoon,” let alone attend a candidate debate?

Let’s not joke around in times of danger—how could we entrust the future of North Pest to someone like this?

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Tisza candidate = weak, unfit, controlled”
👉 “Péter Magyar = controlling figure in the background”
👉 “Cancelling the debate = proof of fear”
👉 “The election = competence vs incompetence”
👉 “Fidesz side = strong, willing to debate → therefore fit”

🧩 Hidden Formula (very clean)

an event (debate cancellation)
→ introducing an alternative explanation (“scary location”)
→ immediate dismissal (“but there isn’t”)
→ forcing a new interpretation (“then they must be afraid”)
→ building a personal weakness narrative
→ introducing external control (“Péter Magyar doesn’t allow it”)
→ generalization (“this kind of person”)
→ political conclusion (“cannot be trusted with the future”)

👉 Classic: event → framing → character attack → political conclusion

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Implied causality (unsupported conclusion)

👉 “cancelled → must be afraid”
👉 no evidence, just a forced interpretation after dismissing alternatives

🎯 Goal: create a simple, easy-to-digest narrative
💥 Effect: the audience accepts “fear” as a fact

2️⃣ False dilemma (narrow framing)

👉 “not scary → therefore afraid”
👉 excludes other possible explanations (e.g. logistics, strategy)

🎯 Goal: simplify reality
💥 Effect: limits thinking to one explanation

3️⃣ Character attack (incompetence framing)

👉 “should we trust such a person with the future?”
👉 targets the person, not their program

🎯 Goal: destroy credibility
💥 Effect: emotional rejection

4️⃣ External control narrative (puppet framing)

👉 “Péter Magyar doesn’t allow it”
👉 questions the candidate’s independence

🎯 Goal: portray weakness and subordination
💥 Effect: the voter sees a “puppet,” not a leader

5️⃣ Rhetorical questions (guided thinking)

👉 “does anyone seriously think…?”
👉 not a real question, but a statement

🎯 Goal: force agreement
💥 Effect: internal alignment with the message

6️⃣ Fear + responsibility framing (“in times of danger”)

👉 “in times of danger…”
👉 raises the perceived stakes

🎯 Goal: urgency + risk perception
💥 Effect: pushes voters toward “safety”

7️⃣ Overgeneralization from a single event

👉 one cancelled debate → total incompetence
👉 disproportionate conclusion

🎯 Goal: create quick judgment
💥 Effect: distorted perception of the candidate

🎯 Overall Effect

👉 A very clear, classic character-assassination campaign message:

  • few concrete facts
  • one event exaggerated
  • simple black-and-white framing
  • pushes toward emotional (not rational) decision-making

👉 The key is not what happened, but how it is framed.

⚙️ Short Formula (one sentence)

👉 “Didn’t show up to debate → must be afraid → controlled → unfit → don’t vote for them”

The Tisza agent scandal in 30 seconds!
In April, we’ll kick them the hell out!
#eszakpest #pestujhely #kaposztasmegyer #rakospalota #ujpalota

Are you sad? You shouldn’t be—your drawing from yesterday was a big hit on TikTok.
Really? Then I’ll draw again today!

The Tisza agent scandal. Let’s see who the players are:
Péter Magyar, his candidate for foreign minister Anita Orbán, and the foreign spies collaborating with them.

What do they want?
They want to bring down Viktor Orbán.

And what do they want instead of the Orbán government?
A Ukraine-friendly puppet government.

That’s what the Tisza agent scandal looks like.

What’s our task?
On April 12, to kick them the hell out.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Tisza = foreign spy network”
👉 “Péter Magyar and his circle = power takeover driven by foreign interests”
👉 “Orbán = target to be overthrown”
👉 “Opposition victory = pro-Ukrainian puppet government”
👉 “Election = removal vs defense”
👉 “Action = April 12 → mobilization”

🧩 Hidden Formula (classic propaganda logic)

childish / playful framing (drawing, TikTok)
→ simplified story (“who are the characters?”)
→ unproven claim (“spies”)
→ presented as fact
→ external enemy (foreign actors, Ukraine)
→ internal traitors (Tisza)
→ existential threat (“puppet government”)
→ direct call to action (“let’s get rid of them”)

👉 This is classic: storytelling → simplification → enemy construction → mobilization

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Infantilization + story framing

👉 “I’ll draw again today”, “let’s see who the characters are”

🎯 Goal:

  • simplify complex politics into a children’s story
  • disable critical thinking

💥 Effect:

  • easier to consume
  • less likely to be questioned

2️⃣ Conspiracy framing

👉 “foreign spies”, “they are collaborating”

🎯 Goal:

  • delegitimize the opponent
  • suggest hidden background forces

💥 Effect:

  • distrust
  • paranoia-like thinking

3️⃣ False causal chain

👉 “Tisza → spies → overthrowing the government → Ukrainian puppet government”

🎯 Goal:

  • merge unproven elements into a single coherent story

💥 Effect:

  • appears logical, but lacks evidence

4️⃣ External enemy + internal traitor combination

👉 “foreign spies” + “Hungarian actors”

🎯 Goal:

  • reinforce the idea that “they don’t belong to us”

💥 Effect:

  • polarization
  • moral rejection

5️⃣ Fear framing (existential threat)

👉 “puppet government”, “they will overthrow”

🎯 Goal:

  • increase sense of danger

💥 Effect:

  • emotional reaction overrides rational thinking

6️⃣ Binary choice (false dilemma)

👉 “them vs us”
👉 “Orbán or puppet government”

🎯 Goal:

  • eliminate alternative options

💥 Effect:

  • forced, oversimplified decision-making

7️⃣ Direct mobilization

👉 “On April 12, let’s drive them out”

🎯 Goal:

  • trigger immediate political action

💥 Effect:

  • emotional peak → action

8️⃣ Demonization + labeling

👉 “agent”, “spy”, “puppet”

🎯 Goal:

  • dehumanize / discredit the opponent

💥 Effect:

  • not a debate partner, but an enemy

🎯 Overall Picture

This is a very clean, textbook propaganda piece, which:

👉 simplifies reality (story / drawing)
👉 frames the opponent as part of a conspiracy
👉 links external and internal enemies
👉 creates fear
👉 then calls for direct political action

🧠 In short

👉 It does not aim to inform
👉 but to emotionally program and mobilize

Fidesz or Mi Hazánk?? Only Fidesz!
Anyone who wants a patriotic government—and not puppets allied with foreign agents—should make the best decision by giving both of their votes to Fidesz!!
#eszakpest #pestujhely #kaposztasmegyer #rakospalota #ujpalota

I received three messages from Mi Hazánk supporters asking why I rate the expected result of the Mi Hazánk candidate in North Pest at four percent on the election barometer. The barometer is not measured or operated by me. It receives instructions on what data to work from: the results of telephone surveys conducted here in the constituency during this campaign, the results of previous elections in North Pest, as well as local political events from recent weeks and months. Based on these, the election barometer calculates the expected outcome.

It currently gives András Bartal four percent. This may still change over the next three weeks—at least in theory—because whenever something significant happens, the barometer will adjust a candidate’s expected result up or down.

What I can say to Mi Hazánk voters is this: voting for András Bartal is a wasted vote. It is a wasted vote because he will not win the individual mandate here in North Pest. I would be glad if Mi Hazánk supporters voted for me instead—then, with their help, we could defeat Balázs Barkóczi.

And finally, North Pest could have a patriotic Member of Parliament who is ready to work—someone who, I hope, has proven over the past weeks and months to be hardworking, dedicated, and enthusiastic.

And I thank Mi Hazánk supporters for their trust!

🔍 Main narrative

👉 “Fidesz = the only patriotic, rational choice”
👉 “Mi Hazánk = no chance → wasted vote”
👉 “Opposition = foreign agents, puppets”
👉 “Voting = a tactical decision, not a principled one”

🧩 Hidden formula

a political situation (multiple right-wing actors)
→ emphasizing viability (“4%”)
→ building legitimacy (“barometer”)
→ applying tactical pressure (“wasted vote”)
→ emotional identification (“patriot”)
→ final direction (“vote for me”)

👉 Classic: data + fear + rationalization → vote redirection

🧠 Influence techniques

1️⃣ “Wasted vote” framing (tactical coercion)

👉 “it’s a wasted vote if you vote for András Bartal”

🎯 Goal:
– take away the feeling of free choice
– redirect voters toward the “winning” side

💥 Effect:
– the voter doesn’t focus on what they want
– but on what is “not wasted”

2️⃣ Pseudo-objectivity (“barometer”)

👉 “I don’t measure it… it calculates from data”

🎯 Goal:
– present opinion as fact
– disguise a personal claim as an “independent calculation”

💥 Effect:
– the audience doesn’t question it
– because “the numbers say so”

3️⃣ Selective use of numbers

👉 “4%” (a precise number, without transparent evidence)

🎯 Goal:
– create an illusion of credibility
– cement the perception of hopelessness

💥 Effect:
– it sticks in the voter’s mind: “they can’t win anyway”

4️⃣ False rationality (tactical voting narrative)

👉 “with their help, we could defeat…”

🎯 Goal:
– turn an ideological choice into a mathematical decision

💥 Effect:
– emotional preference → strategic calculation

5️⃣ “Us vs them” (enemy framing)

👉 “puppets allied with foreign agents”

🎯 Goal:
– create a moral divide
– legitimize one’s own side

💥 Effect:
– no longer a political debate
– but “nation vs betrayal”

6️⃣ Patriotic labeling (identity hack)

👉 “patriotic government”, “patriotic representative”

🎯 Goal:
– trigger identification
– own candidate = “good Hungarian”

💥 Effect:
– if you don’t support them → implicitly not patriotic

7️⃣ Bandwagon / viability narrative

👉 “we could defeat…”, “I am the viable candidate”

🎯 Goal:
– push people toward the perceived winner

💥 Effect:
– people want to belong to the “winning side”

8️⃣ Apparent humility + self-promotion

👉 “I would be happy… thank you for your trust”

🎯 Goal:
– create a likable, human image
– while still promoting oneself

💥 Effect:
– feels less like aggressive campaigning

⚠️ Summary (short)

👉 This is a classic vote-redirecting propaganda
👉 Key tool: “wasted vote” psychology
👉 Reinforced with: numbers + a “neutral” barometer
👉 Framing: patriots vs traitors worldview

💣 How it really works

👉 It’s not about what is true
👉 it’s about:

  • who you believe is likely to win
  • who you fear “wasting your vote” on
  • which side you want to belong to

Péter Magyar flopped badly in Nyíregyháza!

Wow, this won’t make the Tisza Party—who want to change the system with the help of foreign agents—very happy. I received a recording from last night in Nyíregyháza, where Péter Magyar was holding a campaign event, and this is what the crowd looked like from the back, from above. Sure, there are spots in the front where a core group is standing more densely, but behind them it’s quite sparse. And just to note: Nyíregyháza is a city of 115,000 people. Out of 115,000, only a few hundred showed up for Péter Magyar’s event.

🔍 Main Narrative

👉 “Péter Magyar = failed, irrelevant figure”
👉 “Tisza = marginal, weak support”
👉 “The majority is not behind them”
👉 “Not a viable political alternative”

🧩 Hidden Formula

a video clip / image (crowd from behind)
→ selective interpretation (“there are only a few people”)
→ exaggeration (“flopped badly”)
→ generalization (“no real support”)
→ political conclusion (“not a serious factor”)

👉 Classic: visual manipulation → generalization → discrediting

🧠 Influence Techniques

1️⃣ Selective perspective (visual framing)

👉 “from the back, from above”
👉 deliberately choosing an angle where the crowd looks sparse

🎯 Goal: make the event appear smaller
💥 Effect: the brain automatically reads “few people” = “failure”

2️⃣ Exaggeration

👉 “flopped badly”

🎯 Goal: trigger an emotional reaction
💥 Effect: you don’t analyze → you just feel it was a failure

3️⃣ False scaling

👉 “out of a city of 115,000, only a few hundred showed up”

🎯 Goal: set an unrealistic expectation
💥 Reality: large portions of a city never attend political events

👉 this is a distorted comparison

4️⃣ “Core supporters vs. emptiness” narrative

👉 “dense in the front, sparse in the back”

🎯 Goal: suggest that
👉 only a fanatic minority exists

💥 Effect: delegitimization (“not real support”)

5️⃣ Ridicule framing

👉 “Wow…”

🎯 Goal: make the subject look ridiculous
💥 Effect: the audience doesn’t take them seriously

6️⃣ Enemy linkage

👉 “trying to change the system with foreign agents”

🎯 Goal: connect to an existing propaganda narrative
💥 Effect:
👉 not just weak → but dangerous

7️⃣ Pseudo-evidence

👉 “I received a recording”

🎯 Goal: create the illusion of credibility
💥 Effect:
👉 “this is not opinion, this is fact”

⚠️ What’s the real trick?

👉 From one event → a full political conclusion
👉 From one camera angle → crowd evaluation
👉 From one number (115,000) → unrealistic comparison

This is not data — it’s framing.

🧠 Psychological Effect

👉 “few people” → reduces willingness to join
👉 “failed” → damages credibility
👉 “ridiculous” → not taken seriously

👉 This is the inverse bandwagon effect:
it doesn’t say “everyone is there,” but
👉 “no one is there”

💣 Summary

This text is:

👉 not about how many people were actually there
👉 but about how the crowd is being presented

Main goal:
👉 minimize
