Poor Steve Bannon

Poor Steve Bannon.

Say what you like about him, but he does have an ideology. He does believe in something other than himself. That puts him far and away beyond some other figures on the Right.

And he worked like a champ for years to put Trump in the White House, not once but twice. I’m sure he saw Trump as his sledgehammer, the tool by which the old Liberal Institutions would be removed, leaving room for his carefully constructed National Conservative alternative.

Only, here he is, after all his labors…

And it turns out that the Prime Minister of his cardboard King is not himself, but Musk…who believes in quite a different utopia. If anything.

That must hurt.

A great deal.
