I don't know that much about Miller, but Bannon is a pretty different animal from the guys in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us". Remember, the original suggestion was that white nationalists, of the "kill the jews and muslims" persuasion, have their fingers on the policy buttons of the GOP. I certainly wouldn't object to someone calling Bannon a cretin, but it's a very different brand of... cretiny? Cretinousness?
That's sort of like calling Jordan Peterson a white supremacist. You're just dumping everything objectionable into one big bucket labelled "enemies of all that is good and righteous". That's a very popular but not very useful or accurate way to be politically engaged. The American political landscape is completely ####ed, which is also a proxy for chaotic and highly complicated.
