Have you seen how a single-cell organism moves?

If it can sense a clear path away from harm or towards nutrition, it will take the fastest route possible.

If it can't, because no option seems better or worse than any other, it will wildly turn in place until it can sense one direction being significantly better than all the others.

This it the current State of the US and many more countries: aware that it is supposed to go somewhere, do something, but unable to decide, and is therefore contemplating doing some really bad things because they don't obviously seem to be worse than anything else.

The United States is a huge country with very unusually high levels of inequality for a developed economy. Whether that inequality is in the form of wealth, income, education, healthcare or other factor(s) it means that there tens of millions of people out there leading vastly different lives to those who have access to all the benefits you describe above.

But even people with less money and hard low-income jobs have the benefits of the above. Everyone has a phone and access to the internet. These two things alone are massive scientific accomplishments with benefits for pretty much everyone on this planet, from New York to some tribal people in Africa.
Seeing these idiots in the US is like watching someone driving around in a V8 motor vehicle while claiming that the internal combustion engine is all just a lie by the fake media.

I get that there will always be some percentage of people who are somehow lost. But 50% in the US (considering that the other 50% who don't even vote are either complicit and/or pretty much split the same way as those who vote)...

Yes, the unfortunate answer is probably that it is a mix of
- education
- media
- money/wealth

I don't know... I keep wondering if it could have been prevented and when did the train became unstoppable.

Interview with Steve Bannon.
“What the ruling class in our nation should fear is President Trump’s audience, from Wildwood, New Jersey, to South Bronx to Miami to Charlotte,” he says. “The commonality is that American citizens who work their ass off – the whole country depends on them – of every race and ethnicity don’t think they’re at the table and they don’t think anybody except Trump wants them at the table. Trump not only puts you in the room, he puts you at the head of the table and that’s why they [the elites] hate him and that’s why they have to destroy him.”

Bannon is going to jail in a few days on account of Trump. This is just a plea to Donny to bail him out somehow. He's a raging cowardly dog-bed, barely worth noticing any more.

Trump believes he's the smartest person in the room, if not the world. Bannon believes he's the smartest person in the multiverse.

I'm reminded of a quote I saw posted on facebook recently that I think says it all.

From Robert H. Heinlein "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel"

"Some people insist that 'mediocre' is better than 'best. ' They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can't fly. They despise brains because they have none."

maybe one of the conservative locals can tell me why the republican house is formally backing steve bannon’s appeal?

It does seem like a very strange hill to die on.

Even when Trump was president and Bannon worked in his administration, he was viewed as... problematic... by others in the administration. And he does have at least a little political baggage, what with his appearance, his legal problems, etc.. (Plus, its not like he's some key player in Trump's re-election bid.)

The smart thing to do would be to quietly have him shipped off to Gitmo. They can still try to score political points with the MAGAchud by complaining about Trump's convictions.

I think Bannon may well serve the entire 4 months. (He's reportedly headed for the federal prison in Danbury, Conn.) Peter Navarro was also sentenced to four months for contempt of Congress. He turned himself in on March 19 and is still behind bars, due to be released next month. At the time he entered a federal prison in Florida, Navarro said he did so "proudly" (???) but by May he was asking the judge to reduce his sentence.

A federal judge on Wednesday [May 15th] rejected another request from former Donald Trump economic aide Peter Navarro to cut his four-month prison sentence short. Last week, Navarro asked district Judge Amit Mehta in Washington, DC, to allow him to cut 30 days off his prison sentence in exchange for 30 days of supervised release, citing the First Step Act. Mehta said no. CNN news link

Stevo doesn't think he'll be pumping any iron while he's locked up. He'll be in the prison library.
Bannon went on to say that he would "have a lot to do" while behind bars and hoped to spend time in the prison library instead of working out, with the 70-year-old revealing that he would likely not "come out and be prison ripped" when his sentence ends. MSN news link
