What’s everyone’s experience with this?
Is it really true that only uneducated, crude people vote for Fidesz, while intelligent geniuses vote for Tisza, as left-leaning researchers claim?? 😂🤡
Once again, opinion pollsters are misleading people—this time with the illusion that unskilled, uneducated, poor “louts” are Fidesz–KDNP supporters, while the elite (the group it’s supposedly fashionable to belong to)—the intelligent, educated, degree-holding, wealthy class—are mostly Tisza supporters.
First of all, we’ve been hearing this narrative continuously since 2002. Second, it’s quite strange, because in my own surroundings it’s exactly the opposite. And there…
🎭 What is this statement really?
This is not a sharing of experiences and not a debate starter—it is judgmental framing.
1️⃣ False social division (elite vs. “louts”)
The narrative looks like this:
“uneducated, poor, crude” → Fidesz–KDNP
“intelligent, degree-holding, wealthy elite” → Tisza Party
👉 This is not description, but labeling.
The goal is not to understand voter motivations, but to establish a moral hierarchy.
2️⃣ Pseudo-empiricism: “according to researchers”
Watch the trick:
“left-wing researchers”
“they claim”
“according to them”
❌ There is no:
methodology
sample
data
source
✔️ There is:
prejudice
irony
mockery
This is an appeal to authority without evidence.
3️⃣ Personal experience as a shield
“In my environment, it’s exactly the opposite.”
This is not an argument, but a defensive sentence:
it exempts the speaker from having to prove anything,
asks for emotional identification,
implies: “anyone who says otherwise is lying.”
👉 Classic anecdotal relativization.
4️⃣ The real goal: identity warfare
This statement is not really about Tisza or Fidesz. It’s about this:
“Where do you belong socially?”
If you vote for Fidesz → you are looked down on
If you vote for Tisza → you can be part of the “elite”
This is shame-based and vanity-based manipulation at the same time.
🧠 What is the reality instead?
Actual research (the kind that really exists) generally shows that:
there is no party split based on intelligence
There is a split based on:
age
place of residence
media environment
existential security
political identity
👉 The “smart vs. stupid” divide is propaganda language, not social science.
🎯 The essence in one sentence
This is not analysis.
This is political self-justification wrapped in contempt.
