Steve Bannon is, at his core, a pathetic dude. Narcissistic, greedy, insecure.

And he's done such profound damage to our country, because his blundering existence put him in the right place at the right time to capitalize on decades of deliberate fermentation of paranoid insecurity among right wing voters. He connected with the power of the mob and channeled it into empowering another greedy, insecure narcissist.

The difference between Bannon and Trump is that Bannon at least has some intelligence, but he's still just another little grubby opportunist who made his place by loudly, angrily agreeing with people's fears and misguided rage.

What a contemptible little man.
