"Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That's power. It only helps us when they —get it wrong. When they're blind to who we are and what we're doing."-
When Donald Trump chose Steve Bannon, who many call the "Father of the Alt-Right" as his top aide, Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Senate Minority Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said that white supremacy would be represented at the highest levels in the White House.

Within eight months of Bannon being in the Trump's Oval office, we have seen evidence of this clearly as the presence of Neo-Nazis and White Nationalists have emerged from the shadows of the darkness defending their Hate filled Hertiage and Confederate past.
“It is easy to see why the KKK views Trump as their champion when Trump appoints one of the foremost peddlers of White Supremacist themes and rhetoric as his top aide. Bannon was ‘the main driver behind Breitbart becoming a white ethno-nationalist propaganda mill,’ according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.”
Surprisingly, Bannon was fired after the chaos in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday, where white supremacists clashed with counter-demonstrators over the removal of a Robert E. Lee 's statue, which led to James Fields, of Ohio, to drive his car into a crowd of anti-racist and anti-fascist protesters, killing of Heather Heyer.
Many people think the firing of Bannon came after a "some-what" off-the cuff interview with Bob Kuttner of American Prospect, a quarterly American political magazine dedicated to American liberalism and progressivism, in which he said “The Democrats...the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.”
According to Vox.com, Bannon is, at least in theory, right: If the left is focused on race and identity, and the Trump administration is focused on economic nationalism, they probably can crush the Democrats.
The problem with the plan is that, in practice, the way the Trump administration gets Democrats to focus on race and identity isn’t by focusing on economic nationalism — it’s by being racist in ways that alienate voters and undermine their economic agenda and message. www.bobbeethehater.blogspot.com
