- How is it a good point? There is no such thing as illegal immigrants. He's just a typical rich parasite
  
  There is no such thing as illegal immigrants.
  I mean, I'm not saying that this isn't a valid opinion, but it's certainly not a majority opinion.
- In 2025, Steve Bannon is one of the not-so-bad guys? Damn, 2025, you wild.
  
  Make no mistake, Steve Bannon is not on your side.
  
  True, but you have to be grounded in reality and not get high on your own farts to be a political architect. If anything that is why he might be able to cause a schism in the magaverse. But yeahfuck him
  
  Not even remotely. What's happened is that Bannon used to be the pusher of Trump's more deranged strategies, but Trump upgraded to a much more aligned racist who also far better represents the people Trump wants to attract to his circle, spineless Oligarchs. You're witnessing the jealousy of someone who built Trump walk away with all of his work and leaving him with none of the expected power.
