Just in time for fascism to spread around the world! His great-grandfather would be so proud.

… if he weren’t, y’know, dead.

Is he actually a fascist though? Or does he just happen to be Mussolini’s great grandson?

The sins of the father…

Did not mean to imply he is or isn’t. Just seems ironic.

Ah, fair.

He says he has no interest in politics, but his mother is a Forza Italia MEP who started her career in a far-right "post-fascist" party.

Her father seemed to also be aligned with his father (Benito), so I would be surprised if the fascism has filtered all the way down.

Yeah these things tend to run in families. Just like the Bushes and the Musks, all have strong fascist family histories. The Trumps are unique in this regard, they are just pumps and slumlords. But fortunately for them, fascism is an easy jump from there.
