This exactly. I recently had an old friend that still lives in the Midwest complaining about capital gains taxes recently. The guy might pull down six figures a year, and certainly doesn’t make enough in investment income for the capital gains tax to mean much of anything to him. But the radio/TV/internet tell him…

Bannon was born in 1953. Richmond schools were finally integrated by court order in the 1970-71 school year so the idea that he went to integrated schools is laughable.

“Revelling in your eliteness is for strivers.”

I assume that his “origin story” of growing up in desegregated Richmond is probably at least half bullshit, anyway. He’s been shown to be a shameless liar, including the alleged trigger of his Islamophobia of when he was in the military and his ship docked in Karachi and he was surrounded by millions of Muslim youths,…

Bannon was smart for deciding to serve in the Navy.

I’m a white bread and mayo eating MF’r (well, not the bread anymore because: carbs), but even I can see what’s up when Obama was called an “elite” for putting expensive lettuce on his burgers and someone like Trump, who literally tweets from a golden toilet in the sky, is a “man of the people.”

My guess is that it’s 80/20. About 80% of the time he knows that this is a bunch of BS but it’s highly effective BS. About 20% of the time he thinks that he really is the common man because he isn’t a liberal.

Unfortunately it isn’t all that special. Looks like there are millions of them.

Why you gotta go and talk shit about mayonnaise, man?

Maybe he cares if your problem is non-white people living on your street and trying to send their kids to school with yours.

I wonder if he actually buys this shit or if it’s just for show.

“special kind of stupid”

What baffles me even more is the white bread and mayonnaise eating motherfuckers that think someone like Bannon and his boy Don really give a fuck about them? I don’t think rich people are really looking out for me, even if they agree with me on some politics. You gotta be a special kinda stupid to believe Bannon…

This has been Page 1 of the neo-con playbook since day one. And you have to hand it to them, it basically works. The morons that lap up their rhetoric are unable to see behind the curtain. They haven’t been exposed to what the “real” 1% is like. Between them and their wives, they pull down $100k a year and think…

There is nothing more elite than pretending to not be elite. Revelling in your eliteness is for strivers.

Unless that picture of a black person is on pornhub, then they are all over that picture, so to speak.

Yes, a picture of a black man—not an actual black man, but a picture of a black man made them mad.
