Yeah "hoping" for the right thing to happen to employ your SUPER STRATEGY is just dumb. You should be prepared for literally every outcome.

You guys have to understand one thing about Trump, one of the qualities he values the most is loyalty so it doesn't surprise one bit Priebus and Bannon are in for the new administration, even tough Bannon is racist. With that said having Bannon in the white house bat shit fucking insane, like god damn.
What's really crazy is that Priebus is the kind of establishment republican that Bannon hates. We've already heard about the in-fighting within Trump's campaign. If that continues into his presidency then...I don't know what could happen.

Steve Bannon in 2014:
"Im a Leninist. Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and thats my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of todays establishment.

More like he's filling it up with gasoline and setting it on fire.

He also considers The Weekly Standard and National Review "left wing magazines" that he also wants to destroy. Dude seems like a true zealot for his cause.
i dont understand why isnt this stuff in the news i kinda just want to cry now. they gonna do it

Nope, just reading the evidence. I'm left at where I began; do I necessarily ascribe to the publisher the views of the writers? Especially when the man admits that he is pandering for personal, financial gain? I'm not too sure I can at this point, but I am debating that one elsewhere. I think there are plenty of other reasons to be concerned about Bannon; state ran media, the guy is opportunistic at beast and preys on humanity's darkest nature, etc. Am I ready to call him a racist? I don't think I am, yet.

I think it's violently backing up and spewing everywhere at this point.

Is this going to be a Metroid crawl-thing in GAF, or are you for real?
Do you not know what Breitbart is?

Just leave them be. Some of them are Trump voters, some Trump voter defenders, some just looking for rises out of you
If it takes the SPLC to convince you that Bannon is a racist, here you go: https://twitter.com/splcenter/status/797937732530110464

I'm honestly terrified about Bannon. I legitimately don't know what's going to happen to my community here with this extreme and fundamentalist Islamophobe in power. It's going to be very bad.
Yes, but he's obviously got a very bad definition of Leninism.

Reminds me of that time where people really seriously wondered if Dylan Roof was a racist who was racially motivated. "He's just mentally ill, it has nothing to do with race"

Not the same, no. He is draining the swamp and replacing the stagnant water with ass juice.

Reince seems like a pretty capable guy. He did good things for the RNC and is well liked by republicans. He has worked to balance the two sides of the party. Hopefully that helps him work with the other side of the isle.
Just looks like a typical shitty news site, but I saw some of the previous posts talking about him. Hard to tell when GAF is over reacting since anything Republican is the devil here.

End result; Breitbart publishes inciteful news that is intended to appeal to the "alt-right". So the question you must ask yourself; is a man bad because he appeals to bad people for financial gain? Does that disqualify them from high office?

This. People were stupid for thinking he was anything anti-establishment. He's so much part of the system that it's hilarious anyone believed otherwise just because he wasn't a "politician".
like, what the hell is even this question. I cant even tell anymore what is parody. what is wrong with people!
lol man Captain America is gonna become Captain America

These are actual headlines Bannon published on his "news" site, this is Trump's chief strategist & sr. counselor:
Did you even read the tweets people posted for you?

"But e-mails!"
It's ridiculous so much stuff didn't make it into the news and probably won't even now that he's "in". Sigh

Somebody has to say something about this to Trump, right? Otherwise the GOP will have him out by next year.
He already knows.
Yeah if you think that GAF has it out for all republican values, you are way off base. Now if you think GAF is against Republican values that want to keep minorities, women, homosexuals, etc down. Then you may have a point.
What? Trump knows who this guy is.
My ability to tell what's parody and what's real is officially dead.

Yeah lol, he's made some fantastic tweets.
Sounds very familiar... where have i seen this before... ah, yes, the basic GamerGater tactic, ie alt-righter tactic.

I did. Bannon is the owner and publisher, not the writer, which is where the distinction I asked came in.
Your tag is very fitting.
In my experience GAF is against Republicans of any kind. To the point where if someone admitted to voted rep on even 1 out of 10 local races they were questioned about it. But this is ot so I'll drop it.
This dude does indeed look like a nut job.

This seems like an irrelevant distinction to make. What does it matter?
Are you trolling right now?
Brietbart has been known to target people and send its users after people. They're good at dogwhistling. They also don't care about your safety and will doxx you as well. They legitimately have no ethics and pursue news in the most appalling of ways that is harmful to everyone.
