I didn't watch the interview entirely, I merely looked at the article on CNN where they interviewed Steve Bannon.
I don't dislike Trumpers (or the Reps) because they are Trump supporters or because they are Reps. I could EVEN accept that they have nationalist views, to an extent, even if I personally don't support these views.
I dislike them because I am convinced that these people are NOT (against their claims) "for the common people" and I see these Rightwingers (let's call them picture-book capitalists) ALSO (and in particular) responsible for fucking over people, and not only as he says "the globalists". (In fact, behind most globalists who are fucking over people is probably a picture book conservative capitalist)
Bannon and the rest of the gang actually try desperately to come across like socialists. Oh yes, why would we need Bernie or whoever lefty ..if we have these "great" folks in Trump Tower who are so incredibly concerned about jobs, "the common man", the economy etc.
Basically, what he is promising (as ANY party does) is paradise in the US. If they would really manage to create "a paradise" as they claim, and I would actually believe this, heck yeah I would support them. Why should I or anyone else sane be against "more jobs, a better economy, less terrorism, less violence" and whatever. Heck they could slap a fricking Swastika on their suits and I would likely support them, AS LONG as they would create jobs, a better economy or whatever.
But I don't believe any of this. Not a single word. I don't believe that the Reps or Trump care about the middle class. He says "we get it wrong" and we're blind to what they're doing.
So yes, then so be it. I am blind since I cannot see how Trump and the old, bigot farts they are assembling currently "can make America great again". I am blind because I don't believe that Trump, Pence or Bannon are incarnations of Sanders in disguise, AS THEY WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE.
For me, the Reps and Trump represent the 0,1%. All they do is beating on the long-dead and rotten trickle down horse cadaver, trying to revive it and try to convince people that it's actually alive and that it can win any race.

A few days ago someone made a fitting comment here somewhere. Basically saying that EACH of the two parties in the US is really nothing more than BS. Empty promises and BS, whether from the Dems or the Reps.
It's a cycle of people getting pissed off with ONE party after 4 years or 8 years (and who would blame them?) and then in desperation....do the obvious thing, vote "for the other party". Then the cycle repeats. 4 or 8 years later people are pissed again, and then they vote for the others again. Each and ever time, the one party OF COURSE blames everything on "the others" and promises to make things better. Rinse and repeat. And this cycle will go on and on and on. Of course, nothing will get done, except that one set of monkeys and liars and corrupt politicians is replaced by the other.
