Italy 2025, many decades after the fall of the fascist dictatorship. The far-right government would like to ban history texts (for schools) rightly considering Meloni's party as "ultra right" and with a nostalgic approach on fascism. This is also done to scare publishers.

My view on "trumpism in L.A.": racism, fabricating enemies & panic (raids, insurrection), rejecting basic rules, violence, militarisation, Mussolini-type propaganda, repressing dissent, silencing media, threatening political opponents = this is contemporary fascism possibly leading to dictatorship

They are anti-left, so everyone else seems fine. But I was surprised to hear a guy telling me "well done, people do not usually challenge him". Pathetic

I was a huge fan of Jordan.
I wonder if I can then be considered a NBA player or run the league

Aside of the hypocrisy which we will hear soon, many of them hatred him - he was not considered "their" Pope

Same in Italy with far-right Salvini. It is clear how "democracy" is not their priority anyway
