Since the progressives and people who want redistribution of wealth, more regulation and bureaucracy, and for the state to take care of them are highly intersecting groups - I'd say they have made their bed and have to lie in it now.
It took just a little nudge, it seems, to make governments sufficiently insensitive and powerful again to start taking the rights one may consider secure, because it's other people being forced, not you, right?..
Sad but not surprised.
Still scary to see that it's Italy, not, you know, Hungary or Poland or at least Austria.
Love seeing the sheep who think that "progressives" are the problem will happily elect the assholes that expand government reach, take more of the peoples' money while simping for the rich, and work to screw the people the most in any other ways they can imagine.
People like you are the problem. It's just ridiculously easy to convince you simpletons it's not. Run on and piss off.
Everyone that wants the state to have more power over people's life, property and labor is to blame. You can't give power to a position that is selected through a popularity contest.
Your blind devotion to libertarian politics has prevented you from even understanding the issue we're all discussing. We're talking about a right wing government taking children away from their parents because of their sexual orientation. Progressives didn't vote for that.
Progressive or conservative, everyone was ok with giving the government powers to do this.
