Steve Bannon's white nationalism targets people of color and immigrants
CNN ^ | 11/14/16 | Ruth Ben-Ghiat

Posted on 11/15/2016 12:34:02 AM PST by T-Bird45

Anyone who is surprised at the appointment of right-wing guru Steve Bannon as the Donald Trump administration's chief strategist and counselor has been living in an alternate universe, the universe in which President-elect Trump would "pivot" into something resembling a mainline GOP conservative.

And anyone who is amazed at Trump's temerity in putting a white nationalist into the White House has gravely misunderstood the power of racism in fueling his campaign, and the desire to "turn back the clock" to a time when white men supposedly ruled supreme.

Above all, they've forgotten the cardinal rule of Trumpworld: attachment to profit and the Trump brand is a means of increasing influence and power over others. As CEO of Breitbart News, Bannon is key to that strategy, in America and beyond.

“a big bag of decorative baby shower “favors”...miniature bottles, pacifiers, etc., along with a host of diaper pins to throw by the handful at the obnoxious toddlers.”

Do you think you’ll have enough left over to send to the MSM and the Famous Actors who are whining?

“The media may be on the verge of rendering racism a meaningless word. They’ve so slaughtered the definition and made the concept so all-encompassing of a white person’s very existence that it has ceased to have any bite. “

Bingo!

Just like with riots and protests. They’ve normalized them so that they no longer shock us or horrify us. Now, most people just shrug, post a meme on facebook, and move on with their lives.

Hysteria no longer seems to be working.

Obama has realized this, it seems, after the loss. Notice how he’s changed his tone from hysterical and mocking to portraying the elder statesman act.

Clueless CNN is doubling down on hysteria.

Notice how their arguments are circular.
Breitbart is racist because it is associated with Bannon.
Bannon is racist because he is associated with Breitbart.
Trump is racist because he is associated with Bannon and Breitbart.
Bannon and Breitbart are racist because they are associated with Trump.
Trump supporters are racist because they are associated with Trump.
Trump is racist because he is associated with Trump supporters... racists.

What do you want him to do, target white people?

Boss Tweed was asked by a crusading reporter if he used the government to reward his friends, and he replied, "What, do you think I should reward my enemies?"

As a historian of fascism

FTA - I will just say this - NO, b!tch, you're not a historian of fascism. I've studied it a LOT (mostly because of Bill and Hillary Clinton, if you must know), and Trump is NOT a fascist. She then goes on to cite the SPLC, itself a center of left wing fascist thought. God these people are mentally challenged. They have no capacity for critical thinking, even the "educated" ones.

Is it me, or did I not see a single example of how Mr. Bannon is a “white nationalist” in this CNN screed?

Asking for examples of racism is racist.

Q.E.D.

Anyone know what is really behind it (other than trying to drag him down of course).

I believe you just answered your own question. ;-) That, and the guy is a fighter. The media is oh-so very use to snapping at any republican figure and having them wilt into a quivering pile of Jeb.

Someone like Trump comes along and when the MSM barks at him, he bites back. They're besides themselves as to what to do. They can't control him. They're usual verbal abuse just isn't working, and as a result they're hysterical and panicked. It is dawning on them they're powerless.

Bannon is a great pick for Trump, if for no other reason than those who think the Trump administration needs to reach across the aisle have just had their hopes blown up. Trump won. He doesn’t need to reach across the aisle to the Democrats, and Democrats who try to reach across will bring back a bloody stump. He is setting the proper tone right off the bat.

FYI, his wife claimed in divorce proceedings Bannon didn’t want his kids going to a particular jewish school. Bannon denies.

When Bill Crystal supported Hilary and her Israel hating buddies, a Breitbart story and headline called him a renegade Jew. This accusation was distorted by msm...and blamed on Bannon. The stories author and headline writer is David Horowitz is a jew who loves Bannon

It’s all bunk. He’s no wallflower to be sure. he’s a former Goldman Sachs employee, part owner of the Seinfeld franchise, and a Naval officer for 7 years.

And, by the way...Is white nationalism bad ? We put America first and happen to be white. White supremacy is a totally different animal which puts race first

Interesting to se the site comments on the article. Most people aren’t buying it. They’re onto the Clinton News Network.

In CNN’s world, the rule of law has become white nationalism.

I wonder if this “historian of fascism” has ever responded to Jonah Goldberg’s book.

The Left hates Bannon because he has been so successful against them. It’s pure Alinskyism.
