Steve Bannon: I see the hat, but are there any cattle?

[elucidator]

Mr. Bannon does not want to destroy government, he simply believes that it is facing in the wrong direction. He plans an extreme form of chiropractic action to correct this misalignment.

I think we’re all on the same page here, just using different words to describe it. Here’s my take: Bannon doesn’t appear to have any yearning desire to end governance here in America entirely and live in whatever anarchy / chaos / libertarian paradise were to emerge from that. He still wants a President and Congress and Supreme Court. He just wants a different Congress, and probably a different Supreme Court (meaning different people serving in those positions), one that looked out more for the interests of American citizens before others. While he’s doing that, he wouldn’t mind lopping off the EPA / HUD / DoE / NEA / etc perhaps because he feels like those entities are oftentimes obstacles to looking out for the interests of American citizens, rather than allies in that cause.

Do you think that throwing his support behind candidates like Moore and Ward is an effective means to those ends or will it lead to further polarization and chaos? If the former, explain your reasoning.

Whatnow?..

I realize that it’s difficult to recognize coming from that quarter, but I believe Okra was making a joke.
