We are about to fall for the biggest con. The Alt-Right, Steve Bannon, and dissension in Trump’s transition team is nothing more than a distraction. We better get engaged now.
Today’s post-election media coverage is about Trump naming Steve Bannon, a white supremacist, as his chief strategist. It’s a bait & switch.
Donald Trump knew that Steve Bannon would be controversial. At the same time, he named Right Wing ideologue Reince Priebus as his chief of staff.
It is obvious what Trump is doing. It is obvious what Paul Ryan is doing. It is obvious what Republicans are doing.
While Democrats and the media are hyperventilating about a white supremacist in the White House, Paul Ryan is giddy working to undo Obamacare, Medicare, and Medicaid. Ryan could not contain himself in his elation during his press conference this morning as he pointed this out using code words. He ignored questions about Bannon and pressed on about making big changes. What are these big changes? Our social safety net. They prefer the Right Wing lexicon ‘entitlements’ to make our social safety net seem like an unearned giveaway.
