The flannel, the Catholic mysticism, the bunker aesthetic — it’s all part of the shameless act. Underneath is a Machiavellian tactician who understands power not as something to dismantle, but to inhabit. Part P.T. Barnum, part Pat Buchanan, this is a man who preaches humility while flying private. Steve Bannon isn’t leading a rebellion. He is selling one.
