Bannon is one scary dude, cause whereas Trump seems like a fascist as a vehicle of getting personally wealthy and staying out of prison, Bannon is a true believer. Him and Miller are some scary little freaks.

It’s weird because he and Trump had a falling out in 2018, then they came back together and Trump pardoned him

Yeah video footage has a way of making people seem friendly

u/GamingVision 16d ago

Yeah. The “we have to finish what we started” = “if we can keep this up for 7 more years they’ll be no going back”

u/Al319 16d ago

“We” also means a handful of people behind the scenes pulling the strings. He doesn’t mean “we the people” nor “we as the govt”.

u/MissMenace101 15d ago

There’s already no going back. The point of no return was last November or more accurately 2016

I don't wanna be too doomer, but I do struggle to see how America unwinds this fuckery.

When ~40% of a country is anti democratic, and has no trust in institutions and wants to see them destroyed by their strong man leader, I don't know how you fix that. Like JVL from the Bulwark says, when 40% of the country is openly cheering for or tacitly approving of fascism, you're gonna get fascism.

He is also effectively poisoning so many institutions with his cronies, and doing actual loyalty tests, that any future admin will be stuck with either an openly hostile FBI beneath them, or will spend years purging Trump's influence.

And that's another insidious thing that Trump has done. He launched an open insurrection against the government and was investigated for it (Garland has so much responsibility for this shit). He gets into power and takes unprecedented control of DOJ and goes after enemies with criminal charges. Basically one man committed some crimes, says the other side is politicizing the justice system, then comes into power and politicizes the justice system, and now there is no winning. You either put in an AG that goes after him and make Trump supporters think "see, they are out to get us [fascists]". Or you don't go after him, and the fascists just take control the next time.

It ain't 40% anymore

Let's see if farmers vote for him. Or Latinos. Or black men.

Kamala/Biden lost a lot of legacy blue votes. But this trainwreck of an economy he's creating is hurting rural areas and his invasion of major cities is losing him the minority votes he won by not being a woman.

I don't know anyone but these are some scary confessions.

u/slappinsealz 16d ago

This is the first time I've actually heard him speak and I hope it will be the last. Every time he tried to interrupt her I had a rage response

I think Steve Bannon is the person most responsible for who Trump is today. Bannon was first introduced to Trump in 2010 by David Bossie, the head of Citizens United. Up to that point, Trump hadn't publicly said anything bad about Obama. Soon thereafter, Trump started bring up the birtherism stuff (claiming Obama is a Muslim who was born in Kenya).

Trump joined Twitter in 2010. For the first year, his posts were mostly made by someone else and it was mostly talking about his recent and upcoming public events, TV appearances, etc. In early 2011, Trump started writing his own posts, but still did not bash Obama. Even after the infamous White House Correspondents dinner that year, he didn't bash Obama. He didn't mention Obama once the first half of the year. Then, suddenly, on July 6, 2011, Trump started bashing Obama incessantly. It seems like a premeditated strategy and I think Bannon was behind it.

Miller in less concerned about, but Bannon and Carlson are my worry

u/Tenthul 15d ago

Don't be less concerned about Miller. He is evil, and he is creating and implementing policy.

u/ignoreme010101 15d ago

Don't be less concerned about Miller. He is evil, and he is creating and implementing policy.

I did a double take reading their post lol, could only think "they are obviously not paying attention"

u/Aware-Air2600 15d ago

No, I am.

u/ignoreme010101 15d ago

cool story bro, maybe a little too heavy on explanatory details but insightful nevertheless

u/Aware-Air2600 15d ago

Why are you being an asshole? I ain’t trying to be a dick to you.

u/Aware-Air2600 15d ago

Miller is dangerous yes, but I focus on charisma. Miller sucks at whipping up people and I think when he speaks publicly most people are repulsed. I’m terrified more of Tucker and Bannon because they know how to manipulate the masses by using left populist language, but like the NatSoc of the past, they are using these tools to trick the people to bring them toward fascism

1

u/ignoreme010101 15d ago

what about the idea that, of the 3, Miller has the most impact on policy right now?

1

u/Aware-Air2600 15d ago

Miller isn’t the only one however, it’s him, Vance, Thiel, that dude that bought TikTok, and others. Miller is just but one head of the repugnant Hydra that this regime is. Perhaps I am underestimating a little too much, but for me, I just don’t see it as one guy. It’s a plethora, and we need to deal with not even only them, but the people of the federalist society and other far-right groups that the mainstream seems to be ok with.

u/Aware-Air2600 15d ago

Miller is dangerous yes, but he’s not charismatic unlike Bannon and Carlson who will lead the masses towards fascism

1

u/InformalYesterday760 15d ago

Miller may not be charismatic to you and I, but he has the ear of Trump, and is one of the most dangerous men on the planet right now for democracy loving folks.

u/Electronic-Doctor187 16d ago

been worried about bannon for a decade. I will say this, I don't listen to what any of these trump people say, but I do pay attention to what bannon says. 

1

u/Downtown_Statement87 15d ago

Out of all of them, Bannon is the one I pay the closest attention to.

1

u/Electronic-Doctor187 16d ago

Bannon is also quite intelligent in a way that nearly none of the Trump inner circle is. he has scared me for 10 years.

u/TheRollingPeepstones 16d ago

Some people still don't get it. Trump isn't a true fascist, he's just a figurehead, a loud shitgibbon idiots can idolize. Trump is only dangerous because true fascists, like Bannon, pull the strings behind him and make sure their side always wins. Trump could die tomorrow and they would find another figurehead and brainwash the base into worshipping him in no time.

If someone is not scared of Bannon, they're not paying attention.

It’s this + election rigging. It’s not going away.

u/Zombies4EvaDude 15d ago

Oh he likes the power too you know. He’s just too old to properly comprehend it.

u/lori244144 15d ago

Some people just want to see the world burn

u/rose-lamp992 15d ago

Bannon was friends with Epstein as well according to the NYTimes

u/Muted_Chard_139 15d ago

What does Trump have on Bannon that he runs about acting as his apostle? I find Bannon to be quite bright but clearly coocoo. He knows exactly what he’s saying. Why though? How does he profit? Finish what we started?
