What do people think about the Alt-Right and Steve Bannon being in the whitehouse?
Bannon has called himself a Nationalist and part of the "Alt-Right" and that Breitbart news is a platform for the Alt-Right. He tries to downplay racism and claims he's a Nationalist but not a White Nationalist but when we take a look at what the Alt-Right is, and Breitbart news, clearly race is a huge deal. For example, if you visit Alt-Right websites, such as the the subreddit, r/altright you can see what they are really about - one of the top posts:
Every Alt-Righter's Dream In One Picture
And
Daily reminder that the United States was explicitly founded as an ethnostate where only "free white persons of good character" could get citizenship.
Breitbart news can publish articles written by Jews when it fits their agenda (typically some sort of anti Muslim piece), but that doesn't change his ideology. And that's what we're dealing with here, an ideology. The Alt-Right is white nationalism rebranded.
Trump has been selecting an ultra-right cabinet, that much is clear by now. Such as Betsy DeVos, the new Secretary of Education - a billionaire, creationist, charter school advocate, she's anti-gay marriage, daughter of Amway founder, sister of Blacwater CEO, she is the largest donor to the worst Religious Right hate groups.
What I thought we would see is a lot of his supporters actually begin to question Trump and his motives after making these moves, but instead I see them blindly following him and attack anyone who does question his motives. So it makes it pretty clear these people have the same ideology, which is why they are supporting his moves.
Makes me wonder if the Alt-Right movement will grow even biggest, which is a scary thought.
