@Gustodon They even went through that in the beginning of the interview, and Bannon himself was allowed to answer: -“Know thy enemy. It is very important.“
IMHO it is the reason why the opposition struggle to effectively…umm…oppose. We allow ourselves to be distracted by Trump, the man, and we laugh and point at him not being able to do percentages or whatever crap he just blurted out that we miss the very real things that happen in the background (changes to laws/constitution/regulations that have wide impact further down the line…which we’re approaching right now). We try to reason and convince, seemingly unaware that they have a completely different rule-set for what is success and what “people” actually are triggered by.
During Trumps first term everyone was taken by surprise. No one could believe their eyes, not even themselves. For this second time around the clever evil people have involved themselves, only this time, thanks to the learnings from the first time, they now have a plan which they are executing fully and with precision whilst we’re staring in awe at the latest stupid Trump headline and trying to guess if he’s sane or not (which is almost irrelevant by now), mostly convinced it is the “not” and hoping “people” will see it too. They don’t. They won’t.
Bannon and Thiel are the masterminds behind it all. Bannon is in that respect extra dangerous: he’s behind much of the extreme rights success in Europe too, where he is very involved too. From that perspective it is very relevant to hear what he says, and what he sees as the end goal.
But democracy and fair elections (as we know it) in the US is now gone, at least for the next 10 years. Come January the US will not even be classified as a full democracy any longer, it will be on par with Russia, Turkey etc. As Bannon himself says in the interview, now that all the pieces are in place: -“What can you do about it?“
When he says -“Trump WILL get a third term.“ he isn’t exaggerating or trying to pull a fast one. He tells us as it now is a certainty. He has made it so. There isn’t anything we can do to stop it by now.
That is why it is quite wise to listen to how he thinks.
