Reply #78: Because you aren't Italian. You are American. [View All]

However, that aside, I used to work for a couple of Italian wholesale distributors in Los Angeles. They were from Italy and had businesses in many countries that they distributed Italian manufactured goods through. It became very apparent the disdain the natives hold of their country's politics.

It's not that they don't follow the politics unlike many of our Americans and they are up to date on current events but generally throw up their hands in disgust about what is happening and about their leaders. Those Italians also know our American politics as well or better than most Americans.
