I agree .. and therein lies the limits of Bannon's power.
It only reaches the minds of a subset of republicans, even if that subset is the majority of republicans.
good article from 538. I think this part is most telling
1. They are for or against the Trans-Pacific Partnership. (Which we’ll use as a proxy for free trade.)
2. The U.S. should send troops to help the United Nations uphold international law.2 (Involvement in the international community.)
3. The U.S. government should identify and deport immigrants in the country illegally. (Illegal immigration.)
4. Their local police should receive a grade of A (excellent), B (above average), C (average), D (below average) or F (poor).
5. Their state government should increase spending on infrastructure. (Infrastructure spending.)
Perhaps the most telling sign that Bannon’s positions represent a major part of the modern Republican Party is the percentage of Trump voters who disagree with all of the five key Bannon-esque policy stances listed above. It’s less than 2 percent. Whether the Republican mainstream likes it or not, a little bit of Bannonism is in pretty much every Republican voter.

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.
I hear the plan is to widdle them down.......
It seems his hit list has plenty of ppl in the gop so the decent folk are going to have to make some choices @ some point.........
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

we're gonna have to use privatization for infrastructure spending. we can't afford another Obama stimulus.
Our national debt doubled under Obama to 105% of our GDP now

Trump Is Coming back to a White House Near you
I wouldn't disagree with these numbers, but more importantly than what Republicans think about these issues, what do democrats think about these issues?
many more democrats disagree with illegal immigration than the toxic Antifa left that has taken over the democrat party
many more democrats oppose TPP
But, the issue that really galvanizes people and has turned them off from the democrat party is the fact that the democrat party made a conscious choice to abandon white working class people. And not only did they abandon them, but on the way out the door they called them racists full of white privilege.
Well, when you are an out of work coal miner sitting at your dinner table with a pile of bills trying to figure out how you are going to feed your family, the last thing you want to hear from the BAC Panther/TTQ/Deshtard/KKKHristiefan wing of the democrat party is that you are guilty of having white fucking privilege.
It is an offensive notion to these people and they are abandoning the democrat party in droves. Coming up with some economic message will not fix that fissure.
The democrat party made a calculation that "demographics were their destiny" so they decided to shit on white voters. The 2016 should have disabused them of that notion, but they are slow learners
