Yup, to see what Bannon's thinking, just look for his Breitbart interview with Trump (when he was a candidate) on 11/5/2015. At about 17:20 into the interview, Trump is going on about how he wants smart immigrants to continue to come to the US.
Bannon is having none of it. He tells Trump that too many Silicon Valley CEOs are from Asia, quoting a made up number. That's what Bannon, who is driving Trump's immigration policies thinks: we have too many non-European immigrants.
That's why it is so important to fight the current immigration EO: it's always easier to defeat fascists early. And if Bannon gets defeated here badly enough, perhaps he'll lose his shine in Trump's eyes: Trump always hates being associated with losers (because there's one loser Trump can never get away from).
This entry couldn't be truer, but didn't mention another issue: the Supreme Court. We know that the next President will appoint at least one justice, Scalia's replacement. With a liberal President, the Supreme Court can actually push back against the voter suppression laws springing up all over the country. But if Trump wins, we'll have a conservative court *for a generation*. A court that will find some pretext to declare the ACA unconstitutional, or figure out some way to make it unworkable.
It also means voter suppression laws that make it virtually impossible for poor people, and many young people, to vote, unless they can take a few days off from work or school, and spend a couple of hundred dollars, to dig up the proper documents.
The Supreme Court is very powerful. They get to edit laws, and in 2000, they actually chose the President. Don't let a protest vote today lock your generation out of the court system for 20 more years.
Just out of curiosity, who is so fucking stupid as to *call* the Russian embassy to negotiate something like that?
Does he not know that the lines are tapped? Even the writer of "Burn after reading" knows that intelligence agency watch the embassies in DC.
