One problem with hating pretty much everything Steve Bannon says and everything he stands for is that it might be exactly what he wants. "I hope they say I'm a devil," he'll tell me. "I hope they say I'm a fucking demon. I could give a fuck less. All I want to do is win." Another is that maybe such dilemmas are a distraction, masking more crucial questions. For instance: Is Bannon truly someone forever playing the game several levels above and ahead of the rest of us, his every ambiguous zig and zag calculated to further a majestic master plan? Or is he actually just one more big-talking huckster, brazenly improvising whatever he can with whichever tools he can muster, making it all up as he goes? |
