And they damn well got it.

I think the Italians were voting for a new Rome. They wanted Italy to be great as a nation and people, and they are an emotionally romantic people. One of my best childhood friends was pure third generation Italian. My first real GF was 2.5 generation Italian. Man could she kiss. I'd tell you my Uncle Tony's (second generation) joke about how Dundalk got it's name, but don't want to appear politically incorrect. The punch line is "don't dock" delivered with a first generation accent.

Yes, they were voting to "Make Italy Great Again".

Trump really is channeling Mussolini. Next he'll be using the Roman Fasces as his symbol.

Probably Cruz supporters trying to give Trump a bad name. Or they could be from the DNC.

During Reconstruction Ku Kluxing played a major part in ending radical Republican governance and these two tactics would fit their profile.

I have recently read White Terror: The Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy and Southern Reconstruction.

Does Stampp claim that during Reconstruction southern Democrats didn't use organized groups to terrorize Republicans in order to discourage their voting thus helping the southern Democrats reclaim the South?

For better or worse, all those Dixiecrats are now firmly in the Republican camp and they are obviously supporting Herr D'Rumpf.

No he claims the Republican administration of Reconstruction was not radical.
