Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Okay, serious question:
What does Steve Bannon bring to the MAGA table that other MAGA influencers and commentators do not have?
I am trying to look through the dooming, despair, and chaos about Mr. Bannon's immediate imprisonment to evaluate how would taking Mr. Bannon away for the next four months affect our chances in 2024 and beyond.
I have never heard any of his podcasts and never really paid attention to him because half the time he looks like he could use a good shower.
I refrained from answering your post earlier this morning because i was putting this together:
https://greatawakening.win/p/17tLKTfj2x/lets-talk-about-bannon-for-a-min/
I saw and responded.
Had a feeling that he's a snake (why else he's not tapped for campaigning duties). Didn't realize nor remember how much of a snake he was. The nerve of him posing as a MAGA man while backstabbing Trump.
There is no excuse for the two-tiered justice with the contempt charge, but we Patriots need to realize that we need to be careful on whom we uphold as heroes, else we get a traitor in our highest offices.
Once the hoopla on Bannon getting imprisoned subsides, maybe we should show Truth Social what kind of snake Bannon was?
I think his strong point is his energy and the analyses he brings on his show daily. But mainly the energy.
Dooming and despair is not so much that his imprisonment would directly affect the MAGA, but what message it sends to the other influencers, and others in the cross hairs.
That last paragraph reminds me of a something I have learned during a political activism class held by a gun rights activist:
When the enemy has escalated actions against you as a result of your (perfectly legal) campaigning, there are two things you should be doing: celebrate (since you are doing enough damage to the enemy that they need to deploy more resources against you) and double down.
The fact that the enemy has escalated actions against Bannon means he's finally being taken seriously by our enemies. If our allies are smart, they would take him seriously too, if only out of political pragmatism.
As for the other MAGA influencers out there, if you are trying to avoid the cross hairs and avoid the heat, are you really the genuine MAGA man, or a grifter posting as one?
