8. Bannon Wants To Be His Idol: Hitler

Remember that Adolph Hitler was imprisoned for about a year for sedition in 1924, and he used that time to write Mein Kampf. This made him a martyr to the right, elevating him from being just one more angry voice in the wilderness to being a superstar. Bannon, to me, has always been one of the most dangerous men in America, precisely because unlike most of his compatriots, he's intelligent, understands the power of propaganda, and has no moral compass whatsoever. I'm sure the manuscript is already in first draft.

Bannon also knows that TFG will not make it to 2024, leaving a power vacuum and a divided Republican base. Bannon has long been Robert Mercer's attack dog, and I suspect the far-right deep money, which has already cooled hard on TFG, is now looking for a flag bearer.
