Not a bromance. Bannon for 10 years continues his plant left, pivot alt right. He wants far right nationalism, and AI to bootlick. Liberals still falling and giving the racists destroying America false equivwlents.

The extreme left don’t look much different from the extreme right.

Bannon is a populist, and America-first nationalist. Bannon is NOT a free-market reagonomics Republican. Remember, one of his criticisms of Obama was that he didn't bail out the auto-industry enough. This shouldn't be surprising who actually pays attention. There is also a large amount of Obama - Bernie - Trump voters, people need to get rid of simple Left vs Right thinking, there are multiple dimensions to politics.

bernie is is own thing, way left, but not "extreme" in the colloquial sense of complete domination over the other side at any cost

The reason it is still red v blue, despite the more nuanced politics, is that in the end, those smaller groups majority, reliably vote for one party.

It is good to see independents growing as a group and the parties shrinking, it's trending towards 50% last I saw
