Fascists retake Italy

inb4: "she's no fascist, you don't know what a fascist is"

Meloni’s enemies list is familiar: “LGBT lobbies” that are out to harm women and the family by destroying “gender identity”; George Soros, an “international speculator,” she has said, who finances global “mass immigration” that threatens a Great Replacement of white, native-born Italians. Meloni shows affinity for authoritarian strongmen: Like Marine Le Pen, until recently the leader of the National Rally party in France, Meloni has expressed support for Russian President Vladimir Putin—although she has muted that enthusiasm since his invasion of Ukraine.

how original

 

So tell us... .it's not like Italy ever had problems with a fascist leader in the past.

(note the sarcasm)

 

"The people decided! You need to accept their choice!" They said.

In the US commies work hand in glove with corporate fascists.
Really they're all just greedy, thieving liars.

 

This is what happens when you watch Fox News.

 

We are in uncertain times, especially in Europe. And in uncertain times people are afraid. When people are afraid extremists can rise to power by stoking that fear. Hence FDR reassuring the American public, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

 

also, weak center "left" candidates losing to righty populists.

 

As predictable as always.

 

It really is peak absurdity. Mussolini's fascist party, which he founded and from where the name comes from, goes on to exist as "MSI" under his supporters and now under the "brothers of Italy" moniker with basically a veneer on old policies to make them more palatable but you call a spade a spade and the ahistorical, unread deplorables get triggered. It's like saying the KKK is not racist basically.
