Now I realize why having Bannon so close is dangerous

I just thought, hey... Another Conservative demagogue. It's deeper than that. I'm so afraid of what is driving his decisions...
link to article
The lawmakers argue that Bannon’s past as a chairman of the conservative site Breitbart News makes him unfit to advise the president on national security matters. “Mr. Bannon has provided a platform for white nationalists and the alt right, and he has also espoused a false theory of a violent clash of civilizations between the West and Islam that only serves to fuel violent extremism,” they write.

Re: Now I realize why having Gannon so close is dangerous

I'm literally terrified at who Trump is surrounding himself with. I am terrified PERIOD.

What I find most frightening is that so much of this country is so ignorant and blind that they are unable to see what is happening RIGHT IN FRONT OF ALL OF US. They are so busy cheering that Trump is awesome, he's taking action, he keeps his promises that they are NOT seeing how he and the closest people to him are systematically trying to destroy and dismantle our democracy.

You disagree with him, you get fired. You say anything negative about him, you're on the hit list. He has NO tolerance for "disobedience" and being challenged. THIS IS SCARY AMERICA!!!! This is how dictators are born!! You think Hitler just came along and took over Germany??? No, He was ELECTED, like Trump, he preyed on people's worst fears, like Trump, he pitted people against each other, like Trump and then....................you know how the story ends!

THIS IS HAPPENING IN OUR OWN BACKYARD PEOPLE...............WAKE UP!!!!

Bannon is SCARY as hell. Our president is relying on this racist lunatic and his 30 something year old INEXPERIENCED son-in-law as his right hand man for EVERYTHING and it's SCARY!!!! We are being led by a maniac who is nothing more than Bannon's puppet and we're going to end up as the world's enemy and this country is going to crumble.

NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL. Presidents do NOT go into office guns a blazing and start tearing apart the media, signing 37,000 executive orders a day, and firing and demoting IMPORTANT and CRITICALLY NEEDED people in our government. What is happening to our system of checks and balances???? While these idiot Trump supporters are cheering about their freaking STUPID wall guess what????.....................your IGNORANT, STUPID, ILL EQUIPPED president is slowly destroying the country. He's causing tensions to run high, he's PURPOSELY dividing the nation, and it's ALL in an effort to DISTRACT us from the real $hit show that is going on behind the scenes.........................he wants to be ALL POWERFUL. Wake up!!!!

AMERICA!!!......................we MUST come together to stop this before it's too late!! If I hear one more a$$hole Trump person tell me to "get over it" or "deal, you lost" I'm going to knock someone out. If ANYONE actually thinks that the outrage, the protests, the upset and the fear is over "sour grapes" from the election, YOU ARE STUPID. Very, very stupid.

What have you done America, what have you done???? SMH. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Chat Icon well, superpowers don't last forever. Perhaps now is our time to join the dust settled by former empires and superpowers. Democracy was nice while it lasted.

I seriously question the cognitive abilities of people who think this is all about "losing" an election. Of people who think Bannon is on their side. Wake up people. If this man is successful at dismantling our system, we ALL lost.

I am not a Trump supporter. However, he is doing exactly what he said he would do if elected - and that is why people in the rust belt voted for him. He said Washington was a cesspool and he was going to clean it up. Well, he fired the State Department. He is putting in business men and right wing nuts, instead of career insiders - because that is what he said he was going to do. He said tighter controls on immigration, and by golly, he issued an EO which purports to do just that.

It appears he is determined to keep every campaign promise in his first 100 days, and he doesn't care if his actions are constitutional.

The people who voted for him are getting exactly what they wanted, and they're happy about it - it's the rest of us who are terrified.

Re: Now I realize why having Bannon so close is dangerous

I am for the first time in my life afraid that the democratic system of government we have enjoyed is breaking down in front of my eyes and the people who should be in charge to stop it are acting like dominoes and placing themselves in a way to collapse it.

He follows no form of tradition, or protocol. I find myself yelling inside my head all day.
Just waiting for the moment when the Pentagon has had enough of his antics and calls for a military coup. Yes, buckle up

He is honestly terrifying. I just saw him quoted from a 2013 interview: "I’m a Leninist...Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal, too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today’s establishment."

So, yeah, death to the world's oldest current democracy on Bannon's wishlist.

Just because the most influential person in the president's inner circle said that recently, and the typical checks-and-balances don't seem to be working very well, doesn't mean you should panic, or be full of gloom and doom.
Give him a chance! Get over it!
