    Somehow managed to stay within the political circus until the bitter end. I wish I could say this was the end of an era, but there’s a whole new generation of clowns ready to fill his oversized shoes.

        Meloni belongs to the party Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy), which is the direct successor to MSI - they even use the same logo. MSI was the openly neo-fascist successor to the National Fascist Party, the party of Mussolini. Half its ministers are former MSI members, meaning that they are (or were, a few years ago) openly fascist. Let’s just say it’s not a good look.
