Asking your Average Joe American to fire up the old idiot box to watch bad bunny, likely already up and running for the game, is an infinitely easier ask than risk your job and possibly your life to fight fascists in the streets.

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment, but maybe dial in the perspective a bit. Those Italians have been fighting fascism at home for a very long time, it’s not like the blood fueds simply ended with the death of Mussolini.
