It's too close to call, but fucking hell, the liberal candidate just said how he wants to build bridges and be a president of all Poles, the conservative one is quoting the Bible and says how he would fight the evil other side – and yes, he's a former pimp lol. I hope the pro-European side will win but for fucks sake, half of my country just voted for a fucking gangster. This is insane any way one looks at it...

Edit: it doesn't matter, it seems like we're fucked. No official results yet, but it looks terribly bad with the late poll results.

Yeah, as an American it's hard not to be shaken by the results of the last election. 2016 was bad enough, but you could almost attribute that to people wanting a full change and giving the outsider a shot. But in 2024 we knew full-well his authoritarian leanings and voted him in anyway.
