“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”H.L. Mencken
H.L. Mencken was alternative right, as is Steve Bannon. Alternative right hold democracy in contempt and would like to destroy it. How do you dismantle a government you hold in contempt. You find a narcissistic guy with a huge ego and help propel him into the presidency. Then you get the reward of a position in the White House. Not only that but Bannon is now on the security council, and has influence on national security. And he has an ally, Putin.
An excerpt from an article on the connection between the alt right and Putin...
"To summarize below, essentially the Alt-Right felt marginalized by main stream establishment conservatives and Republicans here that have essentially accepted gays, multiculturalism, and globalism. They found themselves agreeing with Putin on his crack down against gays, abortion, and liberalism. And they asked themselves if Putin was one of them, and answered “yes.” They embraced Putin as their path to power and to destroy western liberalism, globalism, and multiculturalism here and in Europe. To the Alt-Right, Putin is the world’s leading defender of traditional values.
They have openly embraced Putin in their writings and been traveling to Russia en masse to embrace Putin as their chance to change the world. They have been acting in concert with Putin to install Alt-Right Traditionalist, Nationalist governments in Europe and in America to transform the world from a Western Liberal Global view to a more pure Traditionalist, Nationalist world view that is anti-immigration, anti-multiculturalism, anti-globalism, and anti-liberal." Directly From Steve Bannon's Breitbart: The Connection Between the Alt-Right, Trump & Russia
The true wizard behind the curtain is Steve Bannon, he wants to destroy our democracy and he has an ally in Putin.
I had a dream once that involved Putin. I cast him down from a city in the clouds.
