    there’s no way that fidesz has 2/3-rds of the total votes, and I haven’t yet met any person that met a person that voted for them

    This sounds like anecdotal evidence at best. E.g. Human Rights Watch says of the 2022 elections:

    International observers characterized the elections as free but raised serious concerns about their fairness. Q

    I would seriously caution against making claims of outright election rigging unless there’s credible reporting on that.

      I don’t claim that the election is rigged, even if it could be, but I claim that it’s unfair. Fidesz likes use the poor to gain a vote for a crusty 2 days old bagel and a potato, and they like to collect the votes of the hungarians living abroad too(probably more hungarians live outside the country than inside), so they give them so much benefits, if I were living outside the country, even I would vote for them too. Also, they have gained control over most of the traditional forms of media, so they have the votes of a really big portion of the elderly.
