on a Chinese oligarch's yacht. How the hell is there a Chinese communist oligarch with a multimillion-dollar yacht? I know how, but these people that follow Bannon never even wonder.

I think the problem might be oligarchs.

Bannon's followers are not the sharpest tools in the shed, but they are tools used by oligarchs.

A fascist cozying up to rich industrialists. Now where have we seen that before?

The wealthy often think that fascism is in their own interests. Maybe so, if they tow the line. Step out of line by thinking free market capitalism is still a thing and they find out real quick who's really in charge and it ain't them. Careful around those upper floor windows. Count themselves lucky if they end up in a concentration camp. Putin uses the regular prison system for that. Cheaper and less obvious than the old German method.

Of course, the Republican Party would just get its billionaires to start an equally repulsive propaganda machine.

He touched our government, our democracy, the environment, and the American people.

However, I'm fully on board with death for those who willingly served his nefarious interests and evil schemes.

The Trumpsters would probably cheer this move now that they are also calling for Fox's demise. It appears Fox will lose to Dominion in court. If that happens, it provides all the cover we need for banning them.

It's not "tow the line", it's "TOE the line" - it means everyone straightens up to an imaginary line and stands to attention, which means a lot more in application!
