Using democratic power to remove democracy isn't the purpose that democratic power was intended to; the best analogy I could find is a son killing his mother. And... yes, I praised his removal because it was extremely clear what he was going to do. He asked people full powers less than one year ago.

He is also friends with Orban and other not-so-nice presidents around the globe.

I mentioned Hitler and Mussolini because what Salvini aims at doing is exactly the same: gaining control of the parliament through a mix of popular acclaim and underground extremist movements, then get full powers and kill any means of removing those powers. Fascism will return to Italy, it's just a matter of time. Incidentally, in 2022 it will be 100 years from the 1922 march on Rome, when Mussolini gained full power, so it might be a convenient (not so) casual coincidence.
