- Remnick’s line is close to a substitute for “Christ, what an asshole”, but not close enough. An alternative would be nice – because choice – but that isn’t it.
- So cute the way conservatives read the First Amendment as being a right to a platform or, put another way, private platforms are required to provide a space or outlet whenever requested.
- If Remnick felt a need to do a solid for Bannon, how about instead of rehabilitating him at a to do for the relatively wealthy – a per se limited audience – publish an old time New Yorker profile describing both Bannon’s good and bad. To his credit, Bannon has at least an awareness that things are very fucked and, to a degree, why. Problem is he’s clueless about a solution. More specifically, like every conservative, his solution is to exacerbate the problem.

One kid in Seattle punching Nazis has done more to effectively oppose Fascism in America than the entire editorial staff of the New Yorker.
