Bannon: "They stole it. The system is so big, so corrupt, so powerful ... fix bayonets, we're charging again. That is why Kash Patel is director of the FBI! That is why Bobby Kennedy is the head of HHS! That is why Tulsi Gabbard is at DNI! That is why Pete Hegseth is in the Pentagon! Fix bayonets!"

Fix bayonets is a battle cry for soldiers who have run out of ammo and thus charge the enemy with nothing but the knife on the tip of their rifle. I don't know how tf that metaphor makes any sense, since what he's actually saying is "do violence on minorities" but that doesn't seem to matter much.

Maga is encouraging its supporters to war against anyone who stands to defy them. All people of color, lgbt community, and anybody who isn’t an asshole to fellow humans is in harms way. Pls be careful and stick up for your fellow human. It’s all of our 1st time living. This isnt what life should be

Does he realise not even 50% of America support Trump and his politics? Trump will cause Civil Unrest if the states and their People are pushed too far.

You have all three branches of government. YOU are what we need to rebel against. If you had the tiniest dram of talent or knowledge, you could change the government in a perfectly legal, peaceful manner. But you're infants.

I don't get Bannon. Trump tossed him out the door, but he sells himself as the mastermind of Trumpworld. Do even MAGA types care what he says? I would bet that they don't.

I believe the fix bayonets line is a reference to Maine General Joshua Chamberlain, who forced the surrender of the traitorous Confederates on Little Round Top. Ironic use for this Confederate and Nazi sympathizer.

I for one feel strongly that if I'm not getting anything out of my federal taxes including just the basic things like, you know, making sure somebody's minding the nukes, I insist my taxes should stay within my Blue state. How do we make this happen?

Our blue state governors can keep the our tax money in escrow until this coup stops. Someone with integrity and will to do it, though. They are probably worried that Trump and his buddies might turn the military guns against their people. Governors are elected by the people of that state.

I'm wondering specifically about any withholding taxes that their employers are taking. Due to extenuating circumstances this year we should get money back, which I'm doubting will ever occur now. I question whether or not it's even worth my while doing our taxes this year?

Dems aren’t understanding MAGA thinks this is war and they will systematically push Dems out of the government permanently. They aren’t purging knowing it could go back next election cycle. They will make this permanent and it will be democracy in name only.

They sure have a difficult time understanding, not everybody shares their extreme ideology. Clearly, they don’t have the temperament to be in govt. It used to be about negotiating. Prior lawmakers convened, and passed programs that actually served people. Some of us like having an FDA, an FAA….

They will get a lot of people killed and ruin the reputation of the country. Notice he's not talking about all the destructive shit that is happening. Inflation, soaring food prices, and measle outbreaks will destroy the US, and bannon will try to hide the truth because it makes them look terrible.

This kind of violent rhetoric is dangerous. The fact that it is happening seems to indicate this "administration" has no desire to "unify", only to continue to divide the country. Nazi playbook.

Tbh I wouldn't put it past Bannon to use "bayonets" for a reason. Rather long knives, those bayonets. But this *is* about unity. It's just that, like true nazis, they only seek unity with their fellows. Hating everyone else is the fastest, cheapest, and strongest means of unifying.

But that's also something that gives me a little hope - as much as they want to run the Nazi playbook, and as much as they've been able to accomplish so far, America is still a nation of immigrants, our fractured and chaotic modern media can't be engineered in the same ways. But idk. 🤷‍♂️

If you ever needed proof MAGA is a cult of stupid - this guy is a great example. How many “MAGA faithful” did he rip off with his BS “build a wall fund”?? Yet still - they applaud him like trained seals.

Yes, however it's referring to the American revolution. He wants to go backwards as does every white "male" MAGAt...to when slavery was legal and only white "male" land owners had rights to anything. Why do you think all the richest pigs are buying all the land and housing across the nation???🤔

he loves his military history. you go "over the top" with "fixed bayonets." the image is from one of his favorite films, Paths of Glory, a WWI trench warfare classic starring Kirk Douglas
