We hear it from prominent Democrats frequently:
“Trump is a threat to democracy.”
“Democracy is at risk.”
“It was a victory for democracy.”
Democrats in the U.S. are saying that last one after the election in Hungary:
Concession: Veteran Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán accepted defeat in a parliamentary election on Sunday, ending his 16 years in power. He congratulated Péter Magyar, leader of the center-right opposition Tisza party, and called the election result “painful” but “clear.”
Supermajority: With nearly all of the votes counted, election officials say Magyar’s Tisza party is set to secure two-thirds of seats in parliament, with many hoping he could reverse some of the controversial changes made by Orbán.
We’ll start with Hillary Clinton’s take on that news:
The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world.
Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

Sure, because autocrats always willingly concede elections they just lost. When somebody Hillary supported wins, it’s a win for democracy, but when she loses, the election was stolen from her.
If Orban was so bad, he wouldn’t have allowed a fair election.

That brings us to Barack Obama.
The candidate he supported won, so it’s a “victory for democracy,” but if Orban came out on top it would have been a further “rise of authoritarianism”:

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to…

Everybody can see how this works:
“the guy i like won so it’s democracy. it’s not democracy when the guy i don’t like wins”

Yep!
How is the outcome a victory for democracy? Isn’t the election itself the victory?
If the people voted for Orban, would that no longer be a victory for democracy?

Isn’t the fact that they had elections pretty good proof that Democracy was never at risk?
Why do you keep saying it is?

Usually when a lefty says “democracy” that word can be translated to “Democrats.”

Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda, domestic insanity and BS definition of “democracy.”
