What the fuck is going on?

edit: this question was not literal

It's the fiscally liberal but socially conservative strategy. Produce a coalition of christofascists, conservative leaning unions, religious minded immigrants, the subset of naturalized immigrants who want to pull the ladder up behind them, socially conservative elites, and low SES voters.

And he's right, that combination is a powerhouse of voters that would give them the south, the mountain west and most of the midwest. It leaves out a class that could easily be pigeonholed as "elites" in the big cities on the coasts - and would align our political structure more like Turkey or India's.

In other words, DT peeled off a layer of disenfranchized democratic voters that were ripe for the taking, Bannon wants to build a strategy that keeps them.

Can we rule out some kind of transporter accident? Has anyone checked to see if his beard comes off?

Lenin watches Danton and decided his big losing moment was preaching reason to revolutionaries, losing his head in the process.

He studies hard the play book, decides to push hard with the revolutionaries and upends the Tsar and half the world.

100 years later Banon watches Lenin...

Its criminal what we call history in the States.

They might seem like they work together, but there are different grifters with slightly different goals. Banon wants to bring fascism back.

It's another grift
