Donald Trump Embraces Breitbart & Steve Bannon As Campaign Reboots Yet Again
/Alt Right Rejoices At Trump's Steve Bannon Hire The Daily Beast
"As Breitbart’s chief Steve Bannon did a lot to normalize the racist, anti-semitic world of the Alt-Right, they couldn’t be happier he has now joined the campaign of their king, Donald Trump.
Donald Trump’s campaign is under new management—and his white nationalist fanboys love it.
The campaign’s new chief executive, Stephen Bannon, joins from Breitbart News —where he helped mainstream the ideas of white nationalists and resuscitate the reputations of anti-immigrant fear-mongers.
White nationalists today invest a lot of energy worrying about growing Hispanic and Muslim populations in the U.S. Turns out, Breitbart News spends a lot of time worrying about those things, too. And in Bannon, they see a media-friendly, ethno-nationalist fellow traveler.
“Latterly, Breitbart emerged as a nationalist site and done great stuff on immigration in particular,” VDARE.com editor Peter Brimelow told The Daily Beast.
VDare is a white supremacist site. It’s named after Virginia Dare, the first white child born to British colonists in North America. Brimelow said he and Bannon met briefly last month and exchanged pleasantries about each other’s work."

The Era of 'The Bitch' Is Coming by Michelle Cottle The Atlantic
As a woman whose mindset has taken a real bashing over the last 15 months -- being told by Bernie-loving FB friends that they now loathe me for supporting Hillary, being asked why I am promoting Aryan values with my blonde hair, or worse yet, being called a murder by a so-called feminist for having concerns about Bernie's health care plan -- I have finally embraced being a 'bitch'.
As Michelle Cottle writes, we might as well fasten our psychological seat belts because we are about to see an unleashing of misogyny against competent, intelligent women that is only paralleled by the assault on President Obama as a super smart, compassionate, humanist black man.
If you're a black woman supporting Obama and Clinton, you get special seating at the top of the angst ladder -- except you probably learned to be a bitch to survive long ago.
I am hardened after this campaign in a way that I never was in my life. So the asshat called Donald Trump and his Breitbart News posse will NOT get under my skin. My stilettos are ready to kick some serious butt targeting me . . . because it IS OUR TURN and we are marching to the White House.
Also, if you've been in police protection for a year over some crazy, right-wing, right-to-lifer determined to kill you, the orange mop head is only frightening if we give him the right to run America's highways. I don't know about you, but this bitch will lie down on I-95 -- if not to stop the Trump jet overhead -- at least to fight all his narrow-minded minions traveling to DC, determined to take us back to the land of Ozzie & Harriett. ~ Anne
{Quote}: "Get ready for the era of The Bitch.

A Clinton victory also promises to usher in four-to-eight years of the kind of down-and-dirty public misogyny you might expect from a stag party at Roger Ailes’s house.
You know it’s coming. As hyperpartisanship, grievance politics, and garden-variety rage shift from America’s first black commander-in-chief onto its first female one, so too will the focus of political bigotry. Some of it will be driven by genuine gender grievance or discomfort among some at being led by a woman. But in plenty of other cases, slamming Hillary as a bitch, a c**t (Thanks, Scott Baio!), or a menopausal nut-job (an enduringly popular theme on Twitter) will simply be an easy-peasy shortcut for dismissing her and delegitimizing her presidency.
Either way, it’ll be best to brace for some in-your-face sexist drivel in the coming years. Despite progress in the business world, women as top executives still prompt an extra shot of public scrutiny. (Just ask Marissa Mayer or Sheryl Sandberg or Carly Fiorina.) And just as Barack Obama’s election did not herald a shiny, new post-racial America, Clinton’s would not deliver one of gender equality and enlightenment. So goes progress: Two steps forward, one step back(lash). As the culture changes, people resent that change and start freaking out, others look to exploit their fear, and things can turn really, really nasty on their way to getting better."
