In other dystopian news, this is happening. A symposium celebrating a privately funded, not up to code, wall on private land. Steve Bannon, the wall fundraiser vet, Kris Kobach, nationalist influencers & more. They’ll also be touring & propagandizing ICE concentration camps. pic.twitter.com/NEGUaSZG0G

The strategy here is not only to capitalize on fear and hate but to undermine government to even further legitimize themselves while creating grounding for Steve Bannon’s economic #nationalism.

Bannon’s agenda:
• nationalistic & #supremacist economic appeals
• sovereignty/security of citizens (the way they see “true” citizens) & their interests
• “unfettered immigration” threatens this ^, needs to be completely changed [re: Trump campaigned on LIMITING citizenship] pic.twitter.com/Sxmx5k816N— Pam Campos-Palma🇺🇸 #CloseTheCamps (@_pamcampos) July 26, 2019
Bannon’s “Best Deal” is textbook fertilization for the eugenics & dehumanization their agenda masks. As has been done in the past, they hinge on defining citizenship, national identity (American-ness) soverignty, & interests in a #populist way that centers & sows #whitesupremacy pic.twitter.com/aD0bOksnxk

Beyond the grift, never forget these people are not disorganized. Elitist power hoarding, hand wringing & lack of political courage & vision aids them & prevents us from organizing the broader aligned power & strength we need to defeat encroaching American authoritarianism
