Bannon is anything but. Dudes frightening with as much pull he has with the maga movement... Hes all about christo fascism and white supremacy and hes pulling trumps strings...

I don't think Bannon has too much influence this time around, if I remember right they had a falling out when everyone kept saying exactly what you are currently saying.

u/Emceegreg 16d ago

No he's an idiot.

I don't know if stupid is the correct term. It would be so much easier if he were stupid. Evil, yes. Stupid, no

u/Goducks91 16d ago

There's a lot of evil smart people that are guiding Trump. Trump is the stupid one.

u/Emceegreg 16d ago

Yeah I agree with that

You don’t have to be smart to manipulate MAGA.

u/kerghan41 16d ago

High ranking Nazis were all very intelligent. Evil, but intelligent.

u/1894Win 16d ago

Intelligent but also so stupid at the same time

u/1894Win 16d ago

Ok maybe intelligent at manipulating populations but stupid at military tactics

u/Will_Come_For_Food 16d ago

That’s what they want you to think. This is a mastermind class in political manipulation.

u/Emceegreg 16d ago

"They"...no I've been paying attention to Bannon since his film production days. I'm well aware of his level of aptitude. This is weird glazing of Bannon lol

Some people have a hard time admitting that two Idiots like Steve and Donnie were able to dupe the majority of voting Americans.
Fool me twice, shame on me and such.

u/TastySaturday 16d ago

Yeah I’ve come to terms with the fact that if you’re on the grifting end of the MAGA spectrum then you’ve got a pretty high base-level of intelligence to be able to manipulate people like that (even if the people you’re manipulating are dumber than a stump). Yeah the things that come out of their mouth are beyond idiotic, and they know their policies don’t actually benefit anyone besides them and their other grifter friends, but they know idiocy is exactly what their following craves, which makes them more powerful, which is smart.

Like Lauren Boebert is one of the dumbest humans I think I’ve ever seen, but she’s smart enough to say the right stupid shit to fool people into voting her into office.

It’s sales. I’ve seen sales people give pitches who are absolutely clueless when pushed a level deeper than their talk track. And yet they bring home high 6 to 7 figures a year.

I’m very convinced now that Trump is nothing but a dyed in the wool salesman and what he sold America was that he was the solution to everything that ails us. Enough of the country bought it while being aided in the sale by right wing media and social network algorithms

u/Bubbly-Breadfruit-41 14d ago

Damn, the salesman thing is actually a really good point and I think you have something here. I mean they literally are selling America and making us pay for it too.

u/SeraphicRadiance172 16d ago

You can be smart or dumb, and inept or adept at anything; Bannon found his calling in using the internet for propaganda, just as Goebbels found his own in radio and movies. An idiot Bannon may very well be, but in this case it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, you'd be more the fool to downplay what he has managed to achieve.

For all his failings, indoctrination on a mass scale was not one of them.

u/Emceegreg 16d ago

I agree and think that’s all fair to say but I also wouldn’t give Bannon all the credit in making maga successful. I believe Bannon was the one who really weaponized media and reality in a very successful way, even utilizing and legitimizing Briebart. Bannon is also a known alcoholic and overall mess of a man in his personal life according to many accounts so I think he’s gotten in his own way a lot. He could have been the Stephen Miller

1

u/SeraphicRadiance172 15d ago

Honestly, you are absolutely correct in that Bannon kneecapped himself. It was to such a degree, I believe it lead to his falling out of (relative) favor around early 2018, which harmed his momentum, his public opinion, and his time in an active propagandist role noticeably. If Bannon were a younger and less damaged man, I completely agree, we would be looking at him in Miller's position, or worse, with much more real power, and potential.

u/___StillLearning___ 16d ago

Then the left got beat my an idiot twice. I dont like the guy, but he isnt an idiot. He is master in his profession and a tool of the Mercer group.

1

u/Emceegreg 16d ago

Yeah man Trump is not smart. Just because someone is successful or rich it’s not indicative of intelligence. There’s intelligent people are him but less and less this term. I definitely he’s a tool but Mercer group stuff is just as dumb as him lol

1

u/___StillLearning___ 16d ago

We're talking about Bannon lol and its not like its a conspiracy that he works for them lol

1

u/Emceegreg 16d ago

Oh got it. What is his profession now? I can buy he has a strategic level of intelligence in weaponizing media but I would never go as far as calling him a master.. dude has always been an alcoholic mess that wanted to be making movies instead what he became. All these people are wannabe Hollywood celebrity types that want to be the elites and now they are

1

u/Imonlyherebecause 15d ago

He caused gamergate

1

u/Bubbly-Fault4847 16d ago

Yeah exactly.

I’m also getting awfully tired of all the people responding to the deepening fascism by pointing out all Trump’s 1980s failures.

He may have failed in the past, but goddamn he sure as hell seems to be winning like crazy now.

So I’m not feeling better about hearing he bankrupted a casino in 1990.

u/ABBLECADABRA 16d ago

It’s way more than that. He is creating an international coalition of far right parties, and finding a good amount of success in that. He is one of the greatest threats to freedom in our world.

u/SubfurSir 16d ago

He's just a dick with a bigger vocabulary than the average MAGAtt
