The blazing question of our tie is this, does the rational intelligent population of this nation have the proverbial balls to stand up and destroy the white nationalism, xenophobia,<\/em> misogyny, ant-Semitism, and the rest of reactionary agenda the Trump administration has brought to our government?<\/i> My\u00a0sense is no, it does not.<\/p>\n

Unless Trump and Bannon are stopped stand ready to accept and be governed by hatred, alternative facts , division, and the\u00a0bigotry that defines\u00a0Trump and his administration. Trump and Bannon\u00a0do not represent American values nor do they represent or understand our constitution.<\/p>\n

Here’s Bannon February 23, 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reclusive mastermind behind President Trump\u2019s nationalist ideology and combative tactics made his public debut Thursday, delivering a fiery rebuke of the media and declaring that the new administration is in an unending battle for \u201cdeconstruction of the administrative state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephen K. Bannon, the White House chief strategist and intellectual force behind Trump\u2019s agenda, used his first speaking appearance since Trump took office to vow that the president would honor all of the hard-line pledges of his campaign.<\/p>\n

Appearing at a gathering of conservative activists alongside Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, Bannon dismissed the idea that Trump might moderate his positions or seek consensus with political opponents. Rather, he said, the White House is digging in for a long period of conflict to transform Washington and upend the world order.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think they\u2019re going to give you your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken,\u201d Bannon said in reference to the media and opposition forces. \u201cEvery day, it is going to be a fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cAnd that is what I\u2019m proudest about Donald Trump. All the opportunities he had to waver off this, all the people who have come to him and said, \u2018Oh, you\u2019ve got to moderate\u2019 \u2014 every day in the Oval Office, he tells Reince and I, \u2018I committed this <\/i>to the American people, I promised this <\/i>when I ran, and I\u2019m going to deliver on this<\/i>.\u2019\u2009\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes indeed. He promised his base, which makes up approximately 40% of the people, and he is going to deliver. So, if we want America to actual;ly fulfill its promise and continue to be a guiding light for liberty and justice the 60% had better damn well dig in for the long fight. And, be prepared to take casualties. Because that is how those folks run.<\/p>\n
