Steve Bannon, during a conversation with Tucker Carlson this week, said the group of young men under 30 are “the most based generation we’ve ever had.” “I’m very enthusiastic about where we are, and my enthusiasm comes from this young generation who had everything against it: propaganda in schools, destruction of their culture, outing them for everything if they didn’t fall in line with the most radical things,” Bannon said. “To come through that, with this apparatus that is so radical, trying to other you, or destroy you every day,” he said. “That shows you we still have the basic foundation that we have had from the beginning, from every patriot’s grave down to the future. And that makes me feel like we got this, but we gotta get on with it.”

STEVE BANNON: I feel actually very good. And one of the reasons is looking at this younger generation, particularly men. I don’t want to downplay women, but the college-educated women are so far gone, by and large, to the left. But if you look at this young generation of men, 18 to 30, they’re the most based generation, I think, we’ve ever had. And they’re coming, either with fathers or uncles or older brothers that volunteered for these endless wars and really fought, every bit as great as the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War One, World War Two — as volunteers in a thankless effort, that you might add was pointless too. The strength of that, coupled with this kind of base in the return to, I think you’re seeing a return to not just Christian values and reading the Bible, but an interest in the underpinnings of philosophy and theology for the West. They want to know more about Western culture. They want to know why modernity has outlawed American traditional culture. I consider myself a populist-nationalist-traditionalist. I don’t call myself a conservative anymore and i haven’t for years, because I think the conservatives have just acted like pussies. They roll over all the time, and you can’t do that. You have to be as hard or harder than the Left. I really feel good. I think we have very dark days ahead of us, uh, both globally with the CCP and others to get sucked into these wars. I think have very dark days in front of us as a country, but I can start to see sunlit uplands way, way, way off in the distance. So I’m very enthusiastic about where we are, and my enthusiasm comes from this young generation who had everything against it: propaganda in schools, destruction of their culture, outing them for everything if they didn’t fall in line with the most radical things of sexuality or gender or climate change, all these things from the “official” source. They came through it. To come through that, with this apparatus that is so radical, trying to other you, or destroy you every day, and they came through that. That shows you we still have the basic foundation that we have had from the beginning, from every patriot’s grave down to the future. And that makes me feel like we got this, but we gotta get on with it.
