And of course so much of the media are leaving out the fact that Bannon is a fucking white nationalist and known anti-Semite. They're going to completely normalize this nightmare.

I've been pulling my hair out over this. The fucking news media is completely normalizing not just Bannon, but the people he's planning on appointing to head government departments.

It's an even bigger shitshow than even my worst nightmares imagined.

It's going to be a long few decades. Trump-Republican control is going to leave us all a smoking ruin.

Seriously, they're already calling him "controversial" and "pragmatic," and from what I can tell, Priebus "making the trains run on time" is a new Republican talking point, I guess to calm people down, while COMPLETELY MISSING HOW TERRIBLE IT IS TO SAY THAT YOUR GUY IS GONNA MAKE THE TRAINS RUN ON TIME FOR AN ANTI-SEMITE.

I'm so glad the Republican Party and Obama are providing guidance so that the Trumpists have a well-functioning White House and bureaucracy to oppress us.

Why would he even say that? Like why

If you feel the overwhelming need to compliment a white supremacist write it in your journal
