Steve Bannon and the Right Have a Scary New Tactic to Take Over Politics

Steve Bannon’s latest project has been infiltrating school boards, but not because he wants lunch prices lowered or more computers for underprivileged kids.

The former Trump adviser’s plan to taint more of American democracy, this time on a local level, is part of a larger trend in post-Jan. 6 America, according to Jared Holt, a fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab. He explains what those “terrifying” trends are exactly on this episode of The New Abnormal.

“Sometimes these local venues can be a more efficient way for them to accomplish what they’re trying to do. And people like Steve Bannon have been very explicit in telling their followers that if you run for a position in your local Republican party or your school board or something it doesn’t really take that much to get elected,” he says. “You can kind of deal out death by a million paper cuts.”

But that’s just a piece of the puzzle. Things haven’t gotten better, or resolved, with the far-right extremist issue in this country. Their tactics are just changing.

“The Oath Keepers don’t exist the same way that they did prior to the attack. The Proud Boys don’t exist the same way prior to the attack, but none of these groups or movements really went away. They were battered by the attack, but they weren’t broken by it. Two big things have been happening in extremism in the last year…”
