Italian Elections and Politics 2022 - Our Time to Schlein

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

Lmao so Italy now has the peak meme government of Lega-M5S-PD?

"One is a racist would-be whoremonger with a Dorito-trap 'beard' who thinks he is literally more Catholic than the Pope. One is a bald Roman Jew who is so averse to taking the top job himself that he doesn't even have a seat in Parliament. Together, they fight COVID!"

Wait what? I learned today that the Zingaretti's have Jewish ancestry.

One, a xenophobic would-be whoremonger who thinks attracting the critiques of the Pope, Avvenire and Famiglia Cristiana for his performative Catholicism is fine as long as Cardinal Ruini winks at him
One, a bald man who talks like Donald Duck and is so averse to the spotlight that his actor brother is literally ten times more famous even though he is the governor of the second largest Region, which includes Rome
One, a bombastic Ligurian comedian who had stopped being involved in the day-to-day of the party he's founded but has now come back just to renege the times when he yelled "F**k the bankers"
One, a shady real estate developer and media mogul who had political power for far too long, made his time in prison, and is now back to give his blessings from Bruxelles
One, a cunning Florentine yuppie who took a party, brought it to new heights, crashed it, then left it, and now thinks he can control Italian politics through an organization polling at 3%

And the master: a central banker with an ineffable charm that's either an unresponsive tool of the elites or the main reason why Italy hasn't defaulted to second-world country status depending on who you ask

Together, they fight with each other COVID!

Salvini and Grillists, led by literally former president of ECB. Try going back in time to, I don't know, the peak of Renzimania, tell this to people and watch their heads explode.

Try going back to the peak of Renzimania and tell people that the last government was between PD (which has been left by Renzi and is now barely polling 20% headed by the brother of Il commissario Montalbano) and M5S (except Grillo has semi-retired from politics, is now mostly on Facebook videos where he sounds like he's on LSD, and the new leader is that very young Neapolitan guy in the new "direttorio" - no, not Fico; the one that's even younger), led by literally an absolutely random lawyer they can't ever have heard about unless they work for the administrative judiciary. Ah and of course Renzi's new party, which punches above its weight but is surprisingly tiny.
In addition, FdI has soared, Umbria is governed by the centre-right and it's not even close, and Lega literally got a higher percentage in Sardinia than in the city of Milan at the last European election.

I mean if the official heir to both the DCs and the PCI can be literally the same party (as is the case!) then anything is possible. And so it goes.

I have decided my next display name is going to be "The legend of Saint Giorgia and the Draghi". In honour of the Flawless Beautiful Queen who refused to join the #establishment #partitocratic #elitist government. And also in honour of the Slay King our Lord, who #saved Italy once and is back to #save it another time.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Well, here we go. This is going to be be an interesting next few months for Italy. Tune in for the most recent developments in this great sitcom!

Here's a new title to reflect the new situation. Let's hope it goes better than Super Mario 1.

What a stable genius Renzi is.

"May Draghi finally get Italy's politics & economy in order," I said, knowing full well that this is Italian politics, & so that won't be happening, like, ever.

In any event, though, a flourishing Italy would be incredibly based.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Super Mario is already fighting the virus!

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Apparently Draghi lives in Umbria (Città della Pieve, near Orvieto), even though he's from Rome originally. Ex-red regions stay winning!

Is this not good news for FdI since now they can cleanup the anti-establishment vote in the next election ?

Renzi has always been some attention whore imbecile

FdI will likely make hay out of being the only opposition, yes. Joining this government seems like a strategic blunder on both Matteos' parts.

I agree that FdI is likely to make gains out of this, but you would be hard pressed to say that Renzi was going to take many "anti-establishment" votes otherwise.
