Can you refer me to an article that compiles the many ways Bannon and Trump are trying to establish an authoritarian regime? Ten or fifteen such attempts come to mind immediately. I may post more on that soon.

After concluding that the talk about Trump’s personality diverts us from that more important strategic question, I couldn’t help but notice that last night MSNBC went on and on about his alleged irrationality and did not talk at all about the underlying strategy.

Inflaming chaos is the only way they can smash the state (as Bannon has acknowledged is his intent) and replace it with their State.  Nixon’s “crazy man” strategy has been updated. Beware Trump the great showman, who adores P.T. Barnum. Just because you’re not paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.
