First off, you have to understand Italy, and the hundreds of political parties, including coalition governments that are quite a foreign concept to not just Americans, but even other coalition governments of Europe.
Secondly, you have to go beyond the 3rd grader level, as the US Media and Big Tech treats us as the undereduated fools we continue to suggest we are ... sadly enough. And that's why I read
The Altantic, the US's oldest, Liberal magazine still around.
Italians Didn’t Exactly Vote for Fascism
The electoral victory of Giorgia Meloni is nothing to be complacent about, but Italians are cynical about how long any government will last. Let’s hope they’re right.

QUOTE: _'... Although there are strong grounds for dismay at the prospect of Prime Minister Meloni, the actual likelihood that Italy will return to the darkest hours of its history is low ... Part of the reason is that Meloni has, to an extent, distanced herself from her party’s past. She has declared that “fascism is history” and suspended members who persisted in praising fascist leaders ... Given the economic stagnation and pandemic pain the country has experienced lately, Brothers of Italy’s rapid rise in popularity was hardly surprising ... This suggests that Meloni’s victory on Sunday has less to do with nostalgia for Italy’s fascist past than with anger at the country’s parlous present. But by the same token, Meloni’s popularity may soon wane after she takes on the responsibility of governing. The fate of the last newcomer hyped as the future of Italian politics is instructive: Since its surprise success in 2018, the Five Star Movement has lost more than half of its vote share and now languishes on the sidelines.'_
