    “Steve Bannon, another top Trump ally, told The Atlantic that the deranged persona Miller adopts in front of the cameras is just an act. “He plays the character well, knowing he always wants to have the libs’—the progressives’—heads blow up,” Bannon said.”

    The fact that this mentality or narrative was ever bought by anyone is a much larger part of the problem than most people recognize. “It’s just a prank bro” but on a national scale. I love ironic humor/memes/etc. but this type of stuff does make me understand where people are coming from when they say irony has poisoned our culture and we need a return of sincerity.
