What are her politics other than that? Is she a liberal/centrist or leftist of some sort, or is this one of those periodic reinventions of fascism in a more inclusive form?

What are her politics other than that?

Insanity. She defends her archfascist grandfather's memory, but takes a variety of socially liberal positions.

I guess if your name’s Mussolini, you can do literally anything and call it fascism

I was wondering what "learned the error of her ways" meant. That's a pretty loaded phrase depending on who's saying it.

She was a full on member of the Italian Fascist party in the 2000s. Overall her politics seem to be kind of all over the place because despite doing things like this she still defends her grandfather.

Doesn't hold a candle to Stalin's granddaughter

Well, thanks for my positive take today.
I mean, it basically shows that reasoning and dealing with a topic still has a realistic chance of getting even the most die-hards to change their views and show a more open mindset.
So perhaps, against all other evidence, not the most fucked up timeline after all...

I've changed a LOT of minds over the past few years and most have thanked me for not treating arguments like a cage match (yeah yeah and everyone clapped, but I'm not exaggerating lol)

I lot of people's only real exposure to the left is through LIBERAL GETS DESTROYED content and aren't expecting a thoughtful conversation. If you actually listen, you'll realize their concerns are justified but they're misplacing their anger. And from there it's usually surprisingly easy to point it in the right direction.

The #1 question to ask about any topic is "who stands to gain from this?" because the answer is usually the same people who told them to be mad about it in the first place.

In my experience, immigration and healthcare are the easiest. Taxes/wealth opinions just kind of happen. LGB stuff has mixed results and T+ stuff is a lot harder - specifically women's sports.

That's the way to go!
I also try that, but sometimes it is really hard not to directly role the eyes and walk away, but actually talk and try to find out what the point of some remarks is.

I've given up just as much as I've succeeded. Sometimes I don't have the patience and sometimes they're just unwilling to budge.

I think what's important in those cases is to make a positive impression on the way out. They'll remember if you make them feel subhuman
