With over 99% votes officially counted, the situation is clear. Poland begins turning back towards European values.
Do you know what will be the most memorable moment of that day for me? (1)

It will be this short clip of Kaczyński turning up to the polling station to vote. He had to mix with the pleb, which he virtually never does, which was humiliating enough for him. He barged in with his bodyguards and expected to be served straight away but not this time... (2)
But people did not shouted at him. They did not abused them or called him names. Nobody spat at him. No, with a simple gesture he was told by some young guy just to go and stand at the end of the queue like everyone else. (3) 
If people reacted with aggression, he would just come out with his usual smirky smile. "Słychać wycie? Znakomicie" ("They are howling? Great") is the approach to which PiS was going through the world.

But there was no howling. It was something worse. Those regular, everyday Poles, he was always so afraid, that he was hiding from them behind rows of riot police and by travelling in a limo with tilted window gave him a simple message:

"You have right to vote. We have democracy, despite your attempts to take it away from us, everyone can stillvote. But you have to queue like everyone, because you are not better than us". That was the message.
if we he realises his world is ending, it had to be this moment. (6)

No tirades of his political opponents in the parliament. No intellectualized essays in the press. No malicious memes, snarky tweets, and mocking Facebook entries. No happenings of @lotnabrygada and protests of @ObywateleRP. No "Jebać PiS" graffitied all over Polish walls. (7)
But this moment, when he saw that scorn smile of a random girl, looking with disdain at this old, lost and helpless guy, who just days ago ordered everyone around, put his tail between his legs and clumsily tried to find the end of the queue to stand there and feel humilated.

I want you this to be for you the Kaczyński you remember. Because that's who he really is:
A grumpy, old man, incapable to survive in the real world and afraid people, who has no life and spends his time in some dark den, plotting some political games, who briefly got lucky.(9)
