[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought I'd round out this thread with Jamelle Bouie's piece on Bannon's unearned reputation as an intellectual:

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/09/steve_bannon_s_reputation_as_an_intellectual_and_strategic_genius_is_unearned.html

Bouie has been killing it in the last year or so...too bad the simple topic of his writings, race, means that no one who doesn't share his leanings will even be willing to read his work.[/quote]

Bannon seems smart to stupid people. [/quote]
As the article stated, it's the narrow thinking that makes him not really all that smart.  His beliefs that going back to the way things were in the 19th century (protectionist policies) is the way to MAGA shows his lack of big picture thinking.  The world was in a vastly different place back then, including the US.  He wants the US to implement old policies in a modern world. That won't work.

It's like when Romney said we needed more tanks. Sure, if we were living in 1940's fighting in WWII we might. But not in the 21st century.  No general would tell you that we need more tanks.
