Italy

I meant that Berlusconi kept calling the Italian opposition communists also he controls the mains Italian TV channels.

Studies have shown that the candidat who get the most TV coverage is likely to win.

These are in fact not arguments.

>Studies have shown that the candidat who get the most TV coverage is likely to win.
True. In fact I would blame the media more than anything, for all the problems that the world is facing nowadays

>since he's basically Trump but smarter.
Well, Trump will rule for at least 8 years (and maybe further).

>MENO MALE CHE SILVIO C'E

But actually, he lowered taxes, somewhat unfucked the bureaucracy, kept the borders secure and carpeted the television with Veline and prime italian ass. And most importantly he was a known factor, people knew what they were getting

Xi says hello.

Regardless, people are getting a bit tired of him.

Except Sorrentino

fun fact
eurocrats very much liked shitting on him for corruption and boonga boonga parties.
Now that Salvini and Grillo came into power eurocrats whitewashed him and present him as a trustworthy ally, integrationist and defender of "European values".

There were 6 main television channels on Italian Television.
He directly owned 3 of them, and the rest of them were conttrolled by the government.
He was the head of the government.
So 100% of Television in the age of TV addiction was controlled by him.

His party was like Hufflepuff: he recruited people with a questionable track record, dubious relations with mafia, freemasons, former fascists. Anyone.
He promoted the concept of a "conspiracy of leftist judges".
So he had a very very large circle of friends who loved him, because he protected them. He was friendly and playful when speaking to anyone. Always positive. Bankers, businessmen, other politicians, they all loved him because he was always kind to them.

He built an image of his supporters as "Italy which loves and hopes", and his opponents were "Italy which hates and is envious".
Among the people, the backbone of his support was in the poor South and among the elderly, based on an entire network of people ready to smile and do/accept "favors". He promoted many pardons and amnesties, for unauthorised buildings, and sometimes crimes.
He gave everyone what they wanted, mostly pissing on any kind of rule and destroying the legal and social fabric of many parts of the society. Almost a libertarian.

Constant optimism and promising everything was going to be fine. He tried for a while to DENY the 2008 crisis even existed.

It's like he had built his own reality of constant progress and smiles, and anyone against his policies were naysayers, grognards, or whiners. He is the one who makes everything fine.

He was also the first leader that came before any ideology. You didn't vote him because he was right wing, or a liberal, you voted BERLUSCONI because he was HIM. COOL, ALWAYS SMILING and REASSURING.

Here's his anthem: "Luckily Silvio is here!"

Everything was so SAPPY, SHAMELESS and CHILDLIKE.
He treated everyone like stupid toddlers. And IT WORKED.

Who did it ?

An antifa attention whore.
Silvio, in his style, immediately forgave him.
If I remember his statement correctly, it was something like
"I understand him, he did it to impress the girls who were with him, it's only natural".

A real man, he knows whats up.

That's one way to put it

>How did this rat stay in power 20 years?
Italians are incredibly dumb.

Italy was a mess, changes of government every 2 months and things like that, he take advantage of that and succeed

He looks scary, if he ever stands in my way I would back the fuck off as soon as possible

He had the power

How can drumfp compete

boomers love him. my grandparents adore him. italians are strange i guess

Thanks for clarifying.

Sounds very similar to Trump's retarded following and organized crime record.

Fortunately we have the Cohen investigation, which is both Federal and State of New York. That's the only hope for bringing Trump to justice, but it's a fairly good hope desu.

Also "trump's economy" is a myth; he just increased spending and lowered taxes. We're running a trillion dollar deficit this year.

he cute

He stayed in power for 9 years not 20, i wished it was 20 though, anything would have been better that the last 5 years of center left government

control of rai goes to the opposition.

>Now that Salvini and Grillo came into power eurocrats whitewashed him and present him as a trustworthy ally, integrationist and defender of "European values".
That's basically what the American media is doing to George W. Bush now that Trump is president.
