BTW, the Italian polity has been chaotic at least since the early 1950s, it didn't suddenly go to crap in the 1990s.

She just sold out those that voted for her. She is now ok with importing hordes of people into Italy from all over Africa and eastern europe.

Conservative Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán is popular. So he’s a fascist.
Conservative Italian leader Giorgia Meloni is popular. So she’s a fascist.

But you never hear of a liberal leader being called a Marxist or a Stalinist.
It’s a real mystery, I tell ya.

That should do wonders for the 30% unemployment rate among young people in Italy. Especially southern Italy that is much worse off than the north.

She is rather mainstream I see her with Ursula von der Leyen of the EU and Mark Rutte of the Netherlands not like Viktor Orban of Hungary for sure.

Italy is the home of Machiavelli the consummate political manipulator she follows in the tradition IMHO.

My take on her is her family values came out of having a baby with her boyfriend in 2016 a time when she was pictured in a string bikini on a beach...

According to Wikipedia…

“ A right-wing populist and nationalist, her political positions have been described as far-right, which she rejects. She describes herself as a Christian and a conservative, and she claims to defend "God, fatherland, and family". She is opposed to euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and LGBT parenting, saying that nuclear families are exclusively headed by male-female pairs. Her discourse includes femonationalist rhetoric and criticism of globalism.

Meloni supports a naval blockade to halt immigration, and she has been accused of xenophobia and Islamophobia; she has blamed neo-colonialism as a cause behind the European migrant crisis.

A supporter of NATO, she maintains Eurosceptic views regarding the European Union, which she describes as Eurorealist, and was in favour of better relations with Russia before the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, after which she pledged to keep sending arms to Ukraine….”

All of the “first world” countries that are letting in all sorts of migrants have a reason for it:

Our economies are based on population growth, and we ain’t havin’ enough babies. So they let in the migrants and it keeps the whole thing growin’.

And if it ain’t growin’, it’s collapsing.

In all seriousness, I think that’s exactly what’s been happening for well over a decade in Europe and in the US.

Lower taxes and fuel prices and people will have more money to raise families. The illegals are getting taxpayer money that Americans cannot get.
