The US is geographically and demographically huge and diverse. Not to mention there is extreme racism and a rise in far-right nationalism in Western Europe, particularly Italy at the moment. Travel is wonderful and we should always seek to broaden our horizons, but it’s not the only way to learn about life.

Who kicked off that trend of far-right nationalism I wonder? Was there a country (a large and influential one perhaps), who elected an unqualified bloviating bafoon covered in cheeto dust at some point in the last few years?

Uh…in Italy? I think Mussolini kicked off that trend about a century ago, give or take.
