Conservatives react with fury to Bannon's departure

Source: The Hill

On Friday, conservatives lashed out at what they viewed as Trump selling out his base and surrendering to those "liberal" forces.

“I’m very upset,” said Tea Part activist Debbie Dooley. “The deep state globalists won. They forced out Steve Bannon. I had a ‘CNN is fake news protest’ scheduled for tomorrow at their headquarters in Atlanta that I’m canceling because I’m so disheartened. It’s a betrayal of his base. I’ll continue to support Trump and his policies but I’ll no longer be on the front lines defending him.”

“Steve’s allies in the populist nationalist movement are ready to ride to the gates of hell with him against the West Wing Democrats and globalists like [national security aide] Dina Powell, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Gary Cohn and H.R. McMaster,” said one Bannon ally.

-snip-

A senior White House official told The Hill that the president had been inundated in recent days from “high-level Republican donors and activists” pleading with the president to keep Bannon on.

I just see a bunch of under-educated, over-fed, whining jackasses waving nazi flags and tiki torches in their fucking dockers and polo shirts.

The Tea Party and other Conservative "Nationalist" groups aren't making money off local bake sales.

Mercer - Globalist interests (finance/intelligence/"Big Data"/religion)
Koch - Globalist interests (energy/commodities)
DeVos - Globalist interests (marketing/mercenary/destabilization of regions/religion)
Murdoch - (marketing/infotainment/destabilization of regions/propaganda)
Adleston - Globalists interests ("entertainment-gambling"/international real estate investments)
Putin - Globalist interests (energy/whatever's good for Mother Russia/black market/mafia interests)

Every single rich conservative a-hole amongst them has international "Free Market" Globalist ties. Every single one was part of Pappy's and Greenspan's "New World Order".

Deep State "Globalists" my pasty white ass. The Deep state they complain about are career bureaucrats who do their job in accordance with the law.

The trumpturds have been successfully conned into demonizing career civil servants working for OUR Federal Government..

Why? Because a strong civil service--impervious to political corruption--is one of the bulwarks against fascism.

Also, of course, the billionaires want to wreck the Federal Government so that they can escape regulation and taxes.

It's part of the paranoid politics that originated with Alex Jones and the far right.

I wish the media would get deeper into the paranoid politics that have been mainstreamed.

Paranoid "populist" politics have their roots in nativism and anti-Semitism, they're disguising that.

It's sad how people on the right are ignorant about political history. These politics have been linked to scapegoating and terrorism.

But I have seen some weird reactions. One guy on twitter thinks this is the first step toward impeaching Trump and he and his mates are vowing war.
One person twitted "so they found the smoking gun ?"


Then there's the dudes who say they no longer support Trump & this is war. That won't last.

A bunch of "butthurt"chicken littles "the sky is falling" .

I want to see how many Trump supporters out there pull away now that Bannon is out. On one hand I want it to be a huge number - yet, that might scare Republicans into thinking they need to embrace the batshits more to win em back. I think it could be anywhere from 5% to literally all the rest of Trump's hard core of support.

It has always been about the white male hate agenda towards the world and the opportunity to be low life scum.

...And the Cretin's policies change directions like farts in the swirling wind.
