Remarkably Honest Atlantic Mag Bit on Bannon.

 Why are Bannon's ideas so influential that they translate into a surge of Republican and even Trumpian support?

• The Hillary Clinton answer, that these supporters are all "deplorables"-idiots and puppets being manipulated by a master-doesn't wash, as it didn't for Clinton in 2016
• A sensible and humble starting position would be that the priorities and policies of the liberal establishment don't resonate with large swaths of ordinary Americans, who therefore don't trust politicians who are mouthpieces of that establishment
• Maybe the left starts holding their communal nose and voting against their instincts in order to punish the authoritarian left in long term favor of the more traditional liberals they still convince themselves they're really voting for
