    Yeah, I’m Italian and I guarantee that we would not (unfortunately) vote for Harris. We have just elected our farthest-to-the-right government ever, and far right politicians have been popular here for a few decades, now.

    I really wish this graph was true, though. I need at least one reason to be proud of my country.

      I was going to sarcastically ask “ever ever?” but suspect your statement might just be literally true…

        To be fair, I was talking specifically about the Republican period (1946 and later). As much as I despise our current government, Meloni is not Mussolini yet. We’re slowly getting there, though, and I’ve never seen so many fascism sympathizers in the open (including in the government).

        Our scholastic system has failed us.

          It’s not just you, fascism sympathizers are on the rise everywhere 😕 How quickly the world forgets its own history.
