I think it's a vicious circle.
Dems entirely focusing on woke issues (maybe to switch the attention from economy)...
and the GOP responding with anti-woke propaganda.
And the dems fire back.

In 2016 I vividly recall all those feminists that would underline that Trump was unthinkable because he was the embodiment of the heterosexual WASP...they have always fought against.

Italy’s government wants to ban English, with fines up to $150K - National | Globalnews.ca

The proposed law targets the rise of "Anglomania" in Italy and argues that the use of English words "demeans and mortifies" the Italian language.

Italy‘s ruling party has introduced a law that seeks to ban governments and corporations from using English in official communications under threat of fines up to 100,000 euros, or $150,000.

Though the bill would prohibit the use of all foreign terms in official communications, the proposed law is particularly interested in quelling the rise of “Anglomania,” and calls for the protection and conservation of the Italian language.

“It is not just a matter of fashion, as fashions pass, but Anglomania (has) repercussions for society as a whole,” reads a draft version of the bill, introduced by the right-wing, nationalist Brothers of Italy party.

"Anglomania"? I never heard of that before.

It adds that the spread of English “demeans and mortifies” the Italian language and its popularity in Europe is “even more paradoxical and negative” now that the U.K. has left the European Union.

The bill would see all use of English and even English terms that have naturally made their way into the Italian lexicon banned from government communications, private companies promoting their goods and services, and even university classrooms, unless the course is specifically teaching a foreign language.

The proposed bill would also establish a new committee under the Ministry of Culture, aimed at promoting the “correct use of the Italian language and its pronunciation,” in schools, media, commerce and advertising.

CNN, which saw a draft version of the law, speculated that the addition could mean mispronouncing “bru-sketta” as “bru-shetta” could be a punishable offense.

The bill has yet to go to debate, where it will need approval from both of Italy’s house of parliament to become law, but the legislation has the backing of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Wow, you could even be fined for mispronouncing a word.

Unfortunately many journalists from all over the world are really misinterpreting all this issue.
A parliamentarian proposed a law that for the first time in history establishes that Italian is the official language in Italy and the Public Administration documents (including laws) shall be written in Italian, avoiding foreign words (not only English words).

Random citizens, journalists, Youtubers can use English 24/7 and will. And we do...I mean...English expressions are so loved because they are much shorter than the Italian ones, so Italians love to save words. Really. Especially whenever they write. So ...



PS: all the detail about mispronouncing the words...I have never heard of something like that. Probably fake news.

We've had similar measures passed in some states, requiring English to be used in official business.

In recent weeks, especially as it was made clear that former President Donald Trump would probably be indicted in New York in a case related to the Stormy Daniels hush money payments, new conventional wisdom has emerged that getting indicted would help Trump politically. This has been argued by both supporters and opponents of the former president.

More than a week after Trump’s arrest, it appears that particular narrative is crashing into reality.

According to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll released this week, more than half of Americans (53 percent) “believe that Trump intentionally did something illegal in this case,” about the New York case specifically. The number of those who believe Trump “did nothing wrong” is just 20 percent.

So, according to this article, something is really wrong with Donald Trump. I wonder why the media didn't say anything about that before.
