As much as I appreciate the Italians protesting ..... didn't they overwhelming elect the government that is doing this to them?

It's kind of foreshadowing for what will happen in US

As will most likely be the case in the US, the overlap between those striking and those who voted for the govt causing the need for said strikes is probably pretty small. Not nonexistent, of course, as there will always be those who fell for the propaganda and realized too late, or those who simply can't acknowledge that their chosen govt caused this, but generally those who understand the need for strikes are aware enough to not vote for the people who cause them to be necessary.
