I didn't even realize it was satirical.

Just a note on my sharing of that tweet, it wasn't intended to be funny. That account is 4 days old and is going viral. There is no confirmation it's satire. Obviously not claiming it's legit either, so anyone claiming to know otherwise shouldn't be.

and that's the problem with those types of account(s).
They create the responses like Iggy City (without using the sober second thought he did).

Chris Hedges with a great article. Kind of explains my incredible disdain for those who act as obfuscationists and are more interested in arguing inane details rather than the primary meaning of issues in the greater context.
"The lies create a climate in which everyone is assumed to be lying. The truth becomes suspect and obscured. Narratives begin to be believed not because they are true, or even sound true, but because they are emotionally appealing. The aim of systematic lying, as Arendt wrote, is the “transformation of human nature itself.” The lies eventually foster somnambulism among a population that surrenders to the magical thinking and ceases to care. It checks out. It becomes cynical. It only asks to be entertained and given a vent for its frustration and rage. Demagogues produce enemies the way a magician pulls rabbits out of a hat. They wage constant battles against nonexistent dangers, rapidly replacing one after the other to keep the rhetoric at a fever pitch"
Trump is a master demagogue and he is ramping up the vitriol of his supporters. It is not if one them is going to go off the deep end, it is a matter of when. Events in Quebec could light that fuse for a copycat.

Bannon is the one in control though. Trump is just the prop.
