I think this was pretty vindicated BTW, especially in TX

The story of the last 8 years is Trump bleeding support due to stuff like J6 that supposedly didn't matter, but compensating by making huge inroads with low-prop young/nonwhite/low-SES voters. Those groups are v swingy, so it's easy for his coalition to "suddenly" fall apart"

I don't have any context on the broader point this is trying to make, but its super interesting that Uganda has significantly higher literacy than 1890s Italy -- good datapoint for historical intuition

To different degrees, BOTH Mamdani and this Italian American organization are ignoring history.

Migrants from Italy ARE an important part of American immigration history. But Italy in 1890 was as "third world" as Uganda today. It was poorer and had HALF the literacy rate.
