‘Far Right’ Favored To Win Italian Election
2022-09-26
The election was yesterday so by now we should know who won.
It was Ms Meloni, as herein predicted. See here.
POSTED ON JULY 26, 2022

[Powerline] An election is coming up in Italy in September, and the Brothers of Italy party, led by co-founder Giorgia Meloni, is currently leading the polls. There has been scant attention to the election in the U.S., but European news coverage is interesting for what it tells us about the state of politics on that continent, which in some ways mirrors conditions here in America.

#18  And the snip! Don't forget ...ow! The snip! Study I can take. Even the history. Chalenges from teachers? I can wrestle a rabbi to the ground! But the snip!

#17  if I was Jewish.

But you can be, my dear Goober Wittlesbach1280. It’ll take one to three years of hard study, depending on whether you choose the more liberal or orthodox style, and of course sincere belief in the face of challenges — because if you can’t face down challenges from your teachers along the way, you most certainly won’t be able to handle being an actual member of the tribe — but we take all races, nationalities, genders, and politics.

Thought really, if we’re to adopt you it would be nice if you had a better grasp of history.

#16  If you believe the love and reverence for God, family and country is fascist you are profoundly damaged.

#15  Who are these financial speculators who are out to destroy us all and replace us with immigrants?

Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Fink, George Soros, Baraq Obama, Joe Biden and his son Hunter...some are Jews and some are not. That's not the point, troll. The point is they are flooding OUR country with illiterate, third world peasants to take our jobs, our schools and our homes away from us...to vote for socialism because they don't know any better. The third world types who invade Italy might be different from the third world types who invade America. The financial speculators might be different. But it's all the same enemy. We are not racists or nazis because we want to repel the invaders in spite of what you, Oprah and Joe might want us to think.

#13  Mussolini was an avowed Socialist forever and there's a reason Nazi is what it translates too.

There is no real right wing extremism, only resistance to the Socialist, Commie cadres.

#12  Again, those who screech loudest about "democracy" are the most aghast when it actually occurs.

#9  'I'll make you proud to be Italian again': Giorgia Meloni, set to become first female PM of Italy will be country's most right-wing leader since Mussolini, with Marine Le Pen and Viktor Orban leading celebrations among Europe's far-right

#8  Leftist narrative is never about factuality or truth.

#7  One of the great lies of the late 20th Century, particularly by academia, is that the Nazis and fascist were 'right wing'. As Lawrence Samuels wrote on “The Socialist Economics of Italian Fascism” at Econlib in 2015, “In essence, the economics of Italian Fascism was Marxist and syndicalist-inspired—and far more left-wing socialist than the economies of many current western nations that embrace a mixed economy of socialism, welfarism and unionism." As for the Nazis just read their party platform.

#6  Let the spying begin, traitorous appointments to emerge, corruption charges filed, false media stories of perversion and cooperation with Trump & Putin…

#5  She leans away from following Brussels' diktats, that's why she's lady Mussolini.

#4  Why does every European conservative always get labeled as “far right”? You never hear the press label the opponent as “far left”.

Legacy media still thinks everyone’s a fool.

#3  Far right confirmed.

That wasn't even a dog whistle. That was just a regular whistle. Who's the enemy? "Financial speculators" who want to destroy the family and create "the perfect consumer"? Who are these financial speculators who are out to destroy us all and replace us with immigrants? DA JOOZ of course. She could not say more clearly that she's anti-Semitic.

I'd be afraid of her, too, if I was Jewish.
