Why Bannon is targeting Ireland

[IcyPeas]

Speaking of Steve Bannon.

Donald Trump’s former chief strategist is planning to open an Irish branch of Bannon’s War Room, his influential Maga daily podcast.

Ireland’s high rates of immigration — more than a fifth of the population are foreign-born — is one trigger; another is what Bannon sees as the country’s woke orthodoxy. “If you look across Europe, Ireland is the ripest country for a Maga revolution,” he says. “All the parties belong to the globalist uniparty, which is pro-Davos — and I include Sinn Féin in that.

Bannon triggered a minor storm in Dublin last month when he told Politico that he was seeking an Irish Trump....

4. They have improved

income inequality so he likely wants to take from the workers to give more to the wealthy and stop the abomination of income parity. Ireland has history with England and know what to watch for so he is mistaken if they will be taken with his hate messages.
