Steve Bannon the day before Trump's deadly attack on the Capitol.
"All hell is going to break loose tomorrow ... This is not a day for fantasy, this is a day for maniacal focus. Focus, focus, focus. We're coming in right over the target"

(3,401 posts)... since the day of Trumps nomination, election, inauguration, fights against Mueller, impeachment BLM demonstrators and a loss election, the message from Bannon has been to crush the status quo, and destroy the establishment. All of it was designed by Bannon.

God, even Bannon, who knows the actual true because he knew on Jan. 5 what was coming on Jan. 6, tried to call him on it.

(14,800 posts)Bannon sees the Pepes as kind of like trolls, and not like the Nazis like Richard Spencer and David Duke, said one person who spoke to Bannon. Everybodys kind of struggling with it.

Excerpt...
For Bannon and his allies, purging extremist elements from the far-right movement is hard, because no matter how vocally they repudiate neo-Nazis and their brethren, those groups will hug back harderespecially if theres a national platform for them to clamber on. David Duke shows up for every media opportunity, Bannon complained to Rose, referring to the former K.K.K. grand wizard. One person who met with Bannon recently described him as furious and preoccupied with the Nazi problem. What the fuck do we do about the Nazis? he asked at one point during their meeting, according to this person.
Complicating the issue are the rank-and-file Web-based Breitbart constituency that Bannon calls the Pepes, after the cartoon frog often used in memes promoting far-right ideology. It has not always been clear where the groups mischief-making ends and anti-Semitism begins: the Pepes themselves gleefully Photoshop their foes into gas chambers, not because they actually believe in white supremacism, some say, but because they simply wanted to see the liberal Internet lose their minds. The Pepes outrageous stunts are responsibly in part for fueling the rise of Breitbart, and to an extent, Trumpism, but their refusal to stop tweaking progressives with their use of swastikas has now become a liability.
Bannon sees the Pepes as kind of like trolls, and not like the Nazis like Richard Spencer and David Duke, explained the person who spoke to Bannon. Everybodys kind of struggling with it. Like, Oh yeah, theres these people, theyre kind of trollish, they make a lot of jokes or whatever, maybe we wish they were a little bit nicer. But thats different, categorically, than neo-Nazis at rallies throwing Nazi salutes and throwing up Nazi flags.
Near the top of this heap of problems, however, is Bannon himself. After immortalizing Breitbart as a platform for the alt-right during the 2016 Republican National Conventiona slip of the tongue several of his colleagues wish he hadnt made, in retrospectBannon inadvertently linked his site to Spencers white nationalist movement. The budding fascist had dubbed his own movement the alt-right back in 2010, using it to describe a movement dedicated to marginalizing Jews and minorities from white nations, establishing authoritarian governments, and rolling back equal rights for men and women. And Bannons apparent reticence to repudiate hate groups, like William F. Buckley did when he rejected the John Birch Society during the 1960s, only allowed them to grow.
