The Republican Reich is moving at full speed to consolidate power as the Fuhrer makes appointees to its cabinet.  I’ve covered Bannon’s Nazi views before, but there a lot more you ought to know about him.  The position he will be occupying is the same one held by the infamous Karl Rove in the GW Bush Reich.  OMG!  I’m going to miss Rove Rat!<\/font><\/p>\n

\"1115BannonTrump\"<\/p>\n

Anyone holding out hope that Donald Trump would govern as a uniter \u2014 that the racism, sexism, anti-Semitism and nativism of his campaign were just poses to pick up votes \u2014 should think again.<\/p>\n

In an ominous sign of what the Trump presidency will actually look like, the president-elect on Sunday appointed Stephen Bannon<\/a> as his chief White House strategist and senior counselor, an enormously influential post.<\/p>\n

Many if not most Americans had never heard of Mr. Bannon before this weekend, and for good reason: He has kept a low profile, even after taking over Mr. Trump\u2019s campaign in August. Before that, he worked as the executive chairman of the Breitbart News Network<\/a>, parent company of the far-right website Breitbart News [Breitfart delinked<\/em>], which under Mr. Bannon became what the Southern Poverty Law Center has called<\/a> a \u201cwhite ethno-nationalist propaganda mill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Bannon himself seems fine with that description, telling Mother Jones<\/a> last summer that Breitbart was now \u201cthe platform for the alt-right,\u201d a loosely organized group of mostly young men who believe in white supremacy; oppose immigration, feminism and multiculturalism; and delight in harassing Jews, Muslims and other vulnerable groups by spewing shocking insults on social media…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
