Stephen K. Bannon believes that the Democratic Party’s obsession with identity politics will ultimately backfire against them. In fact, he believes this has broken the party to such a degree that it will never recover. The process has already begun.
In his new book Bannon: Always the Rebel, released on Monday, Keith Koffler notes that the former White House Chief Strategist revealed a deep flaw in the Democratic Party’s hand that showed its poker face as a transparent window to the true nature of the party’s illusion of strength.
It was through Bannon’s travel ban, which was expeditiously rolled out, that this revelation was made. The ban, quickly branded a “Muslim Ban” by the left, and some on the right, was intended to take attention off a second order that Bannon believed was much more significant; the “Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements” order signed on January 25, which called for building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border to keep illegal aliens out.
Bannon, with the whiteboard in his office and his eagerness to check off Trump campaign promises as accomplished, took the brunt of the blame for the administration moving too quickly. But he says the uproar had its upside: It helped create “the resistance” that Bannon believes thoroughly delegitimizes the Democratic Party with average voters it needs to win elections. He claimed he knew the outrage was coming, and that the Left had fallen into a trap. “The Left bit on it, and created the resistance, and it blew up, and now it’s part of the political movement,” Bannon said. “It’s what’s broken the Democratic Party.”

All this talk of the dems being dead. Any party that owns every public school and college in the country is definitely not dead.
Rove’s most significant achievement was amassing 160 million RINO Campaign dollars for national elections that netted ZERO wins and one assinine whiteboard.
Most likely what he used to play hangman with Dubya during National Security Breifings. Much like the scenes with the Governor in them in Blazing Saddles.
What the Democrats have in their favor is persistence and the old “Democrats are for the little guy” rhetoric in which millions will forever believe.
Karl Rove is evil. He is totally corrupt and trying to implement the NWO of totalitarianism. Bannon has virtue—which always includes wisdom and courage and justice.
I like Bannon.
Too many Democrats with too much money. They’ll be back in a different form, just like after reconstruction.
Very well put; as long as they can funnel taxes through teachers’ unions to Dem candidates in EVERY STATE they are alive and well. They forage off their enemy (the American taxpayer), so they’ll be around forever.
I do believe the identity politics has bitten them in the rear; after Obama many low-information blacks expected to see one of their own on the tickets every time going forward - and this may well have cost Hillary PA, MI, and WI in 2016.
One thing they can’t seem to do is rein in the Green Party; Hillary lost Michigan and Wisconsin by less votes than Jill Stein won in those states (in the same manner as Gore lost Florida with votes going to Nader). If there is a lib option for white people, then Dems have real problems.
Democrats have turned women against men, blacks against whites, Millennials against adults. If you take men, whites, & adults out of the party, there’s not much left but a few whiners.
When the far left takes over and stokes hate among and against groups of people, they end up eating their own. Hate can not be controlled. It’s a strong and stupid set of base emotions and reactions.
