Steve Bannon warns there are 'dark days' ahead for America but that the 'most based generation' gives him hope

During a recent conversation with Tucker Carlson, former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon said he feels optimistic about the future because of what he sees in the younger generation of men.

“I feel actually very good,” Bannon said. “One of the reasons I look at this younger generation, particularly men — don’t want to downplay women, but the college-educated women are so far gone, by and large, 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.”

Bannon said many of these young men were shaped by relatives who served in America’s wars and “really fought every bit as great as Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, as volunteers in a thankless effort that you might add was pointless too.”

He described what he sees as a cultural shift among young people, noting a renewed interest in faith and tradition. “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,” he said. “They want to know more about Western culture. They want to know why modernity has outlawed basically traditional culture.”

Bannon continued: “I consider myself a populist nationalist traditionalist. I don’t call myself a conservative, haven’t for years, because I think that conservatives are just, they’ve just acted like p*ssies. They roll over all the time and you can’t do that. You have to be as hard or harder than the left.”

Despite what he called “very dark days ahead of us, both globally with the CCP and others that get sucked into these wars,” Bannon said he remains hopeful. “I can start to see the sunlit uplands way, way, way, way off in the distance,” he said. “I think my enthusiasm comes from this young generation who had everything against it — the propaganda in the schools, the destruction of their culture, the outing of them for everything.”

Bannon also praied those who “came through” such challenges. “That shows you we have the basic foundation that we’ve had from the beginning of every patriot’s grave down to the future. And that makes me feel we got this — but we got to get on with it.”
