But I intend to keep watching.

My husband became a US Citizen last November - after about 49 years of being a green card holder, moving back home to Italy in the early 80's, coming back here in 2021. His Zio Nicola was in the 'in crowd' with Beni Mussolini. The family is harshly anti-fascist - they've seen how bad it can get.

He kept saying - Ad - you see? You see it right?

Yes G Man - I see it.
