I was considering joining until I found out that the club is run by right-wing conservatives who don't hesitate to push their agenda. I thought I was going to join a club for Italians and Italophiles, not a political party. So if you love Arpaio and Trump, you will be welcome here. If you don't, or if you just don't really want to be bothered by politics, this is not the place for you. Either that, or join but STFU if you disagree with the partisan politics of the people running it and the long-timers. It is certainly their right to express their views; it's a private club, after all. It's just disappointing that they can't keep that garbage at home.
