That's been the vibe I've felt since the day after the election. 2004 redux. Down to the Republicans misreading their narrow win and coming after popular government programs. Assuming there are still free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028 (90-95% chance, perhaps? Orbanization takes time), we have every chance to win those.
Considering 2028 will be an open Presidential election, 2024 looks more like 2004 than 1980.

Don't forget the elections in 2025. We also have a MUCH stronger tradition of democracy than Hungary or pre Nazi Germany ever had.
