RE: Bannon calls white nationalists ‘a collection of clowns’
It's never enough, much like any oppressed groups quest for equality. There is no such thing as true equality. I am always going to be better looking than someone else so I should have acid thrown on my face to level the playing field. I am always going to have a nicer yard than someone else so I should stop manicuring my lawn. etc et al ad nauseum, ad infinitum...

No, in what specific way had he impacted your life and what improvement do you expect to see as a result of him stepping down? I mean if it's impactful enough to cause joy, articulating that reason should be fairly easy, so go ahead.

Yes, it does affect me directly and is easy to articulate. But I'm not your chimpanzee.

In other words, you're just happy someone you perceive as "alt-right" is out even though his presence has not directly affected your life in any way. There is a difference between perceiving someone directly, or even indirectly, impacts you and the reality of whether they do. I guess now you can feel faux joy since the cause of your faux outrage has been removed.

Quote:“I think the media plays it up too much, and we gotta help crush it, you know, uh, help crush it more,” he added. “These guys are a collection of clowns.”
...
“The longer [Democrats] talk about identity politics, I got ’em,” Bannon said. “I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.”
He never once asked for his remarks to be off the record, Kuttner said.

This substantiates my opinion of what Trump, Bannon, et al did. I never got much of a sense that they cared one way or the other about race, but they definitely exploited racism and racial polarization to their benefit. I don't know how much of a factor it ultimately was - I may have overestimated that. I do think it was enough to sustain Trump's campaign in the early going.

I don't know what else that Bannon could have said that would illustrate that the political strategy of team Trump is that these nationalists are useful idiots. Bannon et al are nothing if not cynical.

They didn't exploit anything. The only people talking about race as a wedge last year were the Democrats and sometimes !Jeb! Dems saw a racist at every Trump event and a dog whistle with every speech.
