Really @FareedZakaria?
Listen for what exactly?
Ways to appease white nationalists? Ways to make racists feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
Please explain, because I really don't understand what the hell is going on here.
Let's break this down a bit.

You had a conversation with a man who looks perfectly normal, seems amiable, even likable. A man who can and will and has lied about his most base beliefs in order to further his real agenda.
Bannon believes our government should be fully dismantled.

Once dismantled he believes that a "temporary" totalitarian autocracy should be installed for an indeterminate period pending the "reeducation" of combatant citizens.
Those are the core beliefs he has been espousing for decades.

This thread is about @realDonaldTrump, Michael Cohen, Brad Parscale, Elliott Brody, @GOP, Cambridge Analytica, #SteveBannon, Robert Mercer, strange addresses, millions of dollars and federal election law. @profcarroll @WendySiegelman @brendan_fischer @psstricia @politico 1/22
@parscale, whose digital company - in tandem with Cambridge Analytica - was vital to Trump's 2016 win, is now his 2020 campaign manager. In 2017 he told the San Antonio @ExpressNews he was moving his company to Florida for access to a larger airport. 2/22 expressnews.com/business/local…
Parscale Strategy LLC. was registered with the state of Florida on 8-8-17. The address listed was 2637 E. Atlantic Blvd., Pompano Beach. That is a Parcels Plus store. Parscale dissolved his company on 3-27-18. It only existed for five months. 3/22 search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/Corpor…
(THREAD 1/8) #SteveBannon's documentary Trump @ War is being released Sunday. It was produced by his company Victory Film Group. The company does not appear to exist. It does not seem to be active on any state business registry.
(2/8) Bannon dissolved Victory Film Group on April 13, 2017, when he was in the WH. It was registered in Cal. The address was 8391 Beverly Blvd. That's a UPS store. Bannon has a pattern of using UPS stores for business and phony addresses for voting. businesssearch.sos.ca.gov/Document/Retri…
(3/8) Three days before Bannon shut down Victory Film Group he dissolved Victory Film Project in Florida. Bannon used Andy Badolato's Sarasota office address for VFP. Badolato has been involved with the mob, has laundered money and was accused of sexual assault by 3 women.
#SteveBannon? Who's next to headline @NewYorker festival? Putin? Dugin? Maybe, the editors need a literacy course on the @Kremlin propaganda techniques. There is one called: political pluralism imitation. 👇
1. The Russian-state owned and funded mass media has been employing this model in Russia for a while. Lately, the Kremlin-linked agents are implementing it in the US and other Western countries. The goals differ; the mechanism is the same. 👇
2. the Kremlin propagandists understand the importance of the public opinion and positive image. “The sublimation of emotions on a political topic” is an important part of the engineered collective mentality.
Back @BylineFest for day 3 - starting here in Forest Forum to hear @RVAwonk @J_amesp @zabrinazabrisky chaired by #BylineFest best-dressed chair Peter York 
Audience member @stonesister7 offered to explain the #AltRight as a fake term invented by #SteveBannon - what are we taking about is #Nazism - to make it sound hip & trendy & it’s working
Another adds: #AltRight are nationalistic, xenophobic & prepared to suborn democracy to achieve their aims
Chair @PeterPeteryork takes these on & asks what links these trends across USA & Europe

@emptywheel @maggieNYT “They do so even while describing a lawyer who represents three high-placed witnesses in the case (along w/#McGahn, #WilliamBurck represents #ReincePriebus and #SteveBannon) opining that the President’s legal exposure makes cooperation “insane.” emptywheel.net/2018/08/18/the…

1. Great @CasMudde corrective on the #SteveBannon hype:
'Articles that take his (Steve Bannon's) grandiose plans at face value strengthen the narrative that the 2019 European elections will again be a fundamental struggle between the status quo & Eurosceptic forces.'

2. 'This means that the radical right continues to set the political agenda and its frames continue to dominate election campaigns'.

3. From a comms point of view I agree that mainstream European parties really need to sort out some proper proactive framing for #EP2019 ...not just shifting to the right or rebutting the far right frames (which legitimises their toxic point of view as a debate topic).
#SteveBannon has dangerously and erroneously co-opted my father’s name, work and words.
Bannon’s assertion that my father, #MLK, would be proud of Donald Trump wholly ignores Daddy’s commitment to people of all races, nationalities, etc. being treated with dignity and respect.
Bannon’s assertion that my father, #MLK, would be proud of Donald Trump wholly ignores Daddy’s commitment to people of all races, nationalities, etc. being treated with dignity and respect.
My father’s concerns were not sectional, but global. He was an activist for the civil rights of Black people in America, but he was also an activist for human rights. #MLK
Further, he would not refer to people as “illegal aliens.” The term is degrading and does not reflect his belief that we are all a part of the human family. #MLK
(1) #AboutStrzok This is #PeterStrzok . He is in his 40s. He works for the #FBI . He was the only person to interview @HillaryClinton , with no recording, on her #HRCEmail investigation . 
(2) #AboutStrzok How many #STRZOK family members are there? There are only 100 total Americans out of 300 million with this name . You can Google this. #PeterStrzok must be unique in such a small family, right?
(3) #AboutStrzok The father of #PeterStrzok (ii) is Peter Strzok Sr, and he was in the Army core of engineers. Oh, he was actually a career expert in sanctions and nuclear activity in #Iran . fayobserver.com/d8027ffd-e2a6-…
You needn't be a fan of Wolff's work to know #FireAndFury depicts a Trump who is dangerously incompetent and utterly lacking in either self-control or control of his own @WhiteHouse.
#GOP leadership can dismiss #SteveBannon, but they cannot ignore the state of the presidency.
#GOP leadership can dismiss #SteveBannon, but they cannot ignore the state of the presidency.
What's onerous for #GOP leadership & problematic in recent @nytimes reporting of Trump as merely a guy who's changing things up, is Trump's still the one in charge of the country.
Trump's nearly provoked a nuclear war and threatened a private citizen with jail.
He's dangerous.

Many (inexplicably) believed @GenJohnKelly would pull Trump's @WhiteHouse together as Chief of Staff.But other than several firings--including of #Bannon--and an embarrassing attack on a black Congresswoman, Kelly's been MIA & Trump is worse than ever.
#FireAndFury exposes this.
