Isn't this what the Christian Nationalist/Trumpists want?

@Elessar Exactly. It's such a shame that they have galvanised resistance against the system for nothing!

@Burnley123 Well in their eyes they haven't, whoever represented the system changed over time and so they've adapted. 😆 It's really that Italy is a country that is founded on opposing whoever was governing for last, or at the very least their electorate:

When the system was Berlusconi / Monti / Letta, they allied with Salvini to counter it. They've successfully managed to become the main party of a governing coalition and at that point it was Salvini the system that needed to be countered, so they've realigned themselves with the Dems (okay Salvini had his own share of fault in this, as it was him leaving the League-5S coalition, but they were striding and sooner than later it would've happened regardless, he just gave them a chance). Part of the 5S turned against their own party as well, either because they couldn't accept they had become the system and had this urge to attack themselves (Di Battista et al), or because even if "the concept of left and right is no longer relevant", switching from being the legs of an ultranationalist government to suddenly becoming an extension of the Dems must've been difficult to digest (Paragone)

Basically, they have the numbers they have because Italians don't know what they want but they sure like whoever makes for a loud opposition. This gets you elected, sure, but you can't be a credible loud opposition anymore once you're part of a government, and that's why they're plummeting in the polls (along with the League, no matter how far Salvini went recently to act like an opposition member while being himself in the Draghi coalition). I think Meloni current projections, similarly, are indeed that high simply and solely because she's essentially been the only (perceived) anyi-system loud opposition lately, but she's not immune to these dynamics either (unless they'll pull a Jan 6th here too, and manage to lock themselves in power, idk)

@Carla That's a very silly statement - kind of obscene really.

@MistyCee
When you mix more and more stupidity and lies - it doesn't make your story any more believable.
Just more stupid.

@Budwick is the mountain out of a molehill thing where you're going?

Because I find that more appealing and worthwhile to talk about than calling "my story" "stupid."

@Elessar Typical left-wing response.

@MistyCee 'The Leader' didn't call for it.

@TexChik I'm with you on labels being a problem. Probably the most consistent point I've ever made here, and little bo Nazi sheep just happens to be trying to defend labels I doubt she can even begin to comprehend.

@Longpatrol so did TDS

@Longpatrol It's worldwide - Trump is a symptom, not the disease.

@MistyCee I think the author made up the story to create the desired narrative to paint Trump supporters in a particular light. He was not scared. The article is a work of fiction.

@HoraceGreenley Well, the guy does work for JStreet, so I get where he might be politically motivated as well as why he might be uniquely sensitive.

But I saw the shirts he was talking about, and I don't think He made that part up out of whole cloth.

Obviously, he might be duped by false flag Antifa or BLM folks pretending to be Trump Supporters, but if it's part of an overarching Jewish Conspiracy to slander Trump and take over the world, I really kind of doubt he's in on the higher levels of it.

Seems to me, he's freaked out by it, which I can relate to.

@MistyCee If he's genuine then he's a First Class Pussy

@BluntSm0ker Really? Do I have to renew my passport?

@MistyCee If you drive here you don't need a passport, but a good idea to have it if you want to stay.
