Is Anyone Else Concerned about the Election Results in Italy?

From CNN: Giorgia Meloni claims victory to become Italy’s most far-right prime minister since Mussolini.

Umm, yeah, a headline that mentions “Mussolini” does NOT seem to be a positive and good thing for a country, does it? YIKES! What does it mean?

Well, if I had to hazard a guess it would seem to mean that not just the US, but perhaps many parts of Europe are veering very closely to fascism.

Here’s a link to the article for those interested:

Further in the article, it says this: “A 45-year-old mother from Rome, Meloni is deeply conservative, openly anti-LBGT, and has threatened to place same sex unions, which were legalized in Italy in 2016, under review. She has also called abortion a “tragedy,” raising fears for the future of women’s rights in the country.”

Again, none of this sounds remotely good. In fact, it sounds quite similar to what we are experiencing here in the US. What is going on?!! It’s really beginning to feel A LOT like much of the entire planet is going crazy.
