It's important to note that in France, yes, a fascist majority was prevented, but they still doubled their presence in parliament. The fascists didn't stay home. They went & voted. It's just that enough decent people showed up to beat them back to a significant degree (& make them cry). SHOW UP.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

It is a thing! It’s called “Jure Sanguinis” or Citizenship by Blood. In your case you would need to: 1. show that the priest is your father 2. Show that he was an Italian citizen (born in Italy) It’s time consuming and can be expensive
