If you were wondering what Steve Bannon is up to these days, apparently his latest pursuit is building up a force of GOP operatives who will be prepared to overhaul the government if Republicans successfully retake Congress and the White House.
Last week, the former Trump White House chief strategist appeared at the Capitol Hill Club for a gathering on Republican efforts to find officials who would be prepared to take jobs within federal agencies. NBC News reports that Bannon said the Donald Trump administration was hamstrung early on since they needed to fill about 4,000 government positions with people new to Washington.
To prevent that from happening again, Bannon proposed that thousands of conservatives ought to be trained in advance so theyd be ready to reshape the government immediately the next time a Republican is elected president.
If youre going to take over the administrative state and deconstruct it, then you have to have shock troops prepared to take it over immediately, Bannon said to NBC. I gave em fire and brimstone.

(53,740 posts)Poor Bannon's influenced by the half-baked theories of the self-styled new Rasputin, Russian deconstructionist Alexandr Dugin.
From czarism to Marxism/socialism to bolshevism to communism, not much proven and workable governing theory has come out of Russia so we're now to try tearing down the government on the word of a degenerate drunken grifter with questionable personal hygiene and see what happens?
Nah, I'd advise against it.
