“Italy is expected to elect its first far-right leader since Benito Mussolini when the nationalist Giorgia Meloni is swept into power on Sunday's vote.

The Brothers of Italy leader has been dominating the polls despite a number of gaffes in her campaign, which saw her forced to suspend a party candidate for praising Hitler and a close associate accused of performing a Nazi salute.
……
The 45-year-old, who would be the country's first ever female prime minister, has captured the public imagination with her campaign of 'God, country and family' and railing against 'woke ideology'.

'Yes to natural families, no to the LGBT lobby! Yes to sexual identity, no to gender ideology! Yes to the culture of life, no to the abyss of death!' a wild-eyed Meloni cried in a speech in June…”

I have a friend from Italy (a conservative) who tells me that the the progressive Italian government's reaction to the WuFlu has swung the pendulum back to the right politically speaking.

Truly unobjective, as with the additional comparison to Mussolini

When talking about European politics, American media refer to anything not far left as far right. What we would call far left is considered the norm in European politics.

No so sure this is an accurate depiction.
We know what you mean but it becomes a negative conservative stereotype that is exploited by the media and more.

"Leave the dildo. Take the Meloni."

Mussolini.
Hitler.
Anti-woke.
Anti-gay.
Christian (Catholic).
Pro-country.
Pro-family.
Anti-abortion.
"Wild-eyed".
"Railed against".

Yep...they checked all the boxes.

Keep in mind that the term 'fascist' came from Italy.
That said, I'm convinced that those extremist groups who do hold such views, praising Hitler or, even alluding to him being mis-understood, are propped-up by the media as a legitimate boogeyman. Fringe groups given a platform and pushing the impressionable towards the far ends. Anybody not holding Leftist views, MUST be a fascist/racist with nationalistic goals.

Marie LePen in France constantly gets painted as an extremist, yet she's a standard conservative looking to preserve and uphold existing laws while working against the tide of Parisian news services and the Nomenklatura

I hope Meloni wins.

I hope Italy becomes really choosy about which immigrants it accepts.

I hope Italy leaves the EU and those insufferable twats in Brussels can suck it.

His list did however the article did not. The article referred to her drumming up anti-migrant hysteria.
