The whole country is waking up in a trumpster. It's Morning in America with a really bad hangover.

Groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League condemned Bannon's selection, criticizing his self-professed commitment to providing a platform for the "alt-right," a white nationalist movement predicated on conspiracy theories and racial stereotypes about immigrants. Bannon is in many ways a strange messenger to execute Trump's populist economic message. He has frequently attacked Republicans and Democrats alike, scheming with other right-wing media figures about how to oust House Speaker Paul Ryan for what Bannon perceived as globalist views on trade and immigration. But the former Breitbart chief also holds a degree from Harvard Business School, and made much of his fortune as a banker at Goldman Sachs and a longtime entertainment producer with Hollywood connections and stakes in shows like "Seinfeld." Still, many of Breitbart's former employees who worked with Bannon pointed out that he has successfully brought his formerly fringe nativist ideas into the mainstream, and favors an unforgiving take-no-prisoners political style that appeals to Trump's aggressive sensibilities. Former Breitbart spokesman Kurt Bardella, who quit the site this year, described the organization as "completely devoid of reality and facts," which the sites uses to speak to Americans' "worst divisions and worst fears." "Breitbart's gone from being the propaganda arm of the Trump campaign to now being the propaganda arm of the federal government," Bardella told CNN on Monday. "That should be very concerning to all Americans." Bardella speculated that Bannon could use the power of the White House to exact revenge on enemies. "Steve is a very aggressive, attack-oriented, never-back-down, never show any sign of weakness," Bardella said. "That's his entire modus operandi."
