Wondering...will he rise in fame now that he's out? Get back with his Neo Nazi newspaper and use it to attract more Nazis and more power? Or will he more or less sink into oblivion? Hoping that he will just Go Away and be forgotten.

He could gain power with his newspaper, Breitbart, and start his own political movement if he is angry and determined enough. He does seem like a very angry, evil person on a mission, a mission that has now been somewhat thwarted. And with all the attention Nazis and white supremacists are getting now, he might decide that the time is right.

Let's hope he doesn't use this opportunity to seek more Nazi converts--this is a very tumultuous era.

He has a serious aversion to being truthful.

All calculated!

He will be more powerful focusing on Trump's economic agenda, getting New Republicans elected to replace RINOs and Dems and to organize the rest of us to support Trump.

I'm happy that I will now be able to see and hear from Steve again on TV and ideally on the speakers circuit.

The Loony Left can now look for another false narrative. They might want to wait until Julian Assange releases his next bombshell report via Congressman Dana Rohrabacher.
How touching, that's such a sweet fantasy.

That's right. It is painfully clear, the right wing media is the most powerful political force in this country. The talking points make it through the ranks quickly and effectively. There is no left wing equivalent to the whole cabinet of characters the right has created over the last decade.

They're welcome to form a Nazi party of their own. At least they're out of the Republican party.

Exactly.

Sorry, son, but you have been brainwashed by your beloved mainstream media.
What better way to camouflage bigoted ideas then by hiring a few minorities? The right treasures the tiny percentage of minorities they have for this reason. So if David Duke said he had a black friend, I guess that would prove he's not a racist.

Until then, it's just musical chairs of racism, incompetence and idiocy.

Also, this is example 892,722 that Trump is a lying moron and anyone who voted for him and STILL supports him through all the nonsense is a brain-dead, anti-American cultist. "I hire the best people, believe me"....
Americans chose months ago, and they chose Trump. Deal with it.

This. The media makes the Alt Right too important when it's a tiny fraction of the population, just like the violent Alt Left Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other leftist hate groups don't reflect the views of the majority moderate Dems. Don't let yourself be manipulated into giving them your 'clicks.'

I love all the "factual thing happened but Righties accuse the Left of being delusional about said fact having occurred" posts.

In any case

Similarly, a source close to Breitbart News tells Axios’ Jonathan Swan that the news website plans to “go ‘thermonuclear’ against ‘globalists’ that Bannon and his friends believe are ruining the Trump administration, and by extension, America.”
