In reality, there is no 'far Right' in Meloni's candidacy, writes cwtremo. The term is loosely used to identify all threats to left-wing orthodoxy. With Meloni, there is only 'pro-common sense, ' which terrifies the Left more than anything.
They fear her, so they insult her. No, she's not a fascist — and of course, this is true of nearly everyone the Left calls a fascist. She is not the next coming of Benito Mussolini. Only the radical, global, left-wing media machine could equate a female, pro-religious, pro-life, pro-family political candidate with the next Mussolini. It's such a nonsensical take that anyone with common sense would reject it.
Meloni represents everything the Left hates and fears. She believes in the nuclear family as a foundation of her country's survival. She is also a woman and pro-life — perhaps the Left's worst nightmare. She is against indoctrinating the youth with radical gender ideology. She embraces her religion instead of shunning it. She's against same-sex marriage. She is also an outspoken critic of the contemporary radical leftist politics that has dragged down Italy for years.
This is why Meloni has been dubbed a"fascist" or the"next Mussolini" by these idiots. None of these issues are fascist, mind you; they just threaten what the radical Left believes. As a result, leftists turn to what they know best, sensationalist fear-mongering. It's a core tenet of the Left's global messaging strategy, and it has been so for the last 120 years.
