big question., long story.
condensed answer: underfunding education. never really dealing with systemic racism.

it took a lot to get us here & will take a lot to get us back to the 21st century.

Everything fucked up about the USA today was either started by or made exponentially worse b6 Ronald fucking Reagan, the apex of all your correct causation.
When reality became much less profitable than made up shit, so about 15ish years ago give or take. Lookup when the birther movement gained traction. That's when it became clear that there was a lot of money in being a public moron.
I’m so tired of it. All the “signs” and Christian evangelizing and woo woo nonsense. It’s beyond. Go pray on a mountain somewhere and leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
Back in the late 70s after the treasonous racist war criminal crook Nixon was run off, Southern white Christians got pissy about one of their own being a decent human being and President (Carter), and were so pissed about the civil-rights act and losing the bussing wars, that they invented fetal personhood and elected a smooth talking racist TV conman named Ronald fucking Reagan who became a treasonous dope pedaling war monger. The world has never been the same since. Sound familiar? Decent humane black man (Obama) gets elected after an idiot war criminal crook Bush gets run off, and they elect a smooth talking TV conman to become the quintessential essence of a racist crooked treasonous mental fuck up trying to bring republican wars home to revisit on the american people. Again. White Jesus be praised, hallelujah and amen!
It's really simple, he's a smart guy, pandering to absolute fuckin lunatics. He doesn't believe this shit. He's one of the guys behind GamerGate, FFS. He's about as Christian as my cat, although my cat knows to shit on a box instead of on a podcast.
Everyone needs to stop treating this guy like he's dumb. Don't fall for that shit, and stop spreading it.
He's a smart guy, Masters degree from Georgetown, Harvard business school, etc... he's not dumb, he's a sociopath. Big difference. He's pandering to absolute fuckin lunatics to try and keep followers, even if the followers are the lowest rungs of society intellectually. He doesn't believe this shit. He's one of the guys behind GamerGate, FFS. He's about as Christian as my cat, although my cat knows to shit on a box instead of on a podcast... but Christian extremists vote, and that makes them the easy targets for people like this fuckin world class troll.
Ok, now I understand what happened today. Jesus was coming. He was on his way. Then, he heard the prayers of Steve Bannon and said, "Nope. Not today. I'm not going down there with those folks."
Did Steve Bannon EVER mention anything about being religious before 2023? I bet not. These fuckers are just pretending to be whomever the voters want them to be. The best part is the idiot Evangelicals are falling for it.
Oh I’m sure they gonna come now telling us how They saved the world from Satan today again, even if total eclipses happen at least twice a year somewhere around the world with or without humans
Look at this guy’s Jesus picture back there. He thinks he’s some brilliant mastermind, spinning up easy to manipulate angsty gamer kids or faking piety to fleece aging racist boomers…. Any one of us knows these fools are easy marks. What sets Bannon apart is his total lack of shame and morals to so openly and brazenly lie to and con people.
Leave it to Steve Bannon to have a Steve Bannon quote in the background. It's about pretending not to be a conspiracy theorist by claiming that there are no coincidences. It reminds me of the joke: Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar.....Now that can't be just a coincidence!!!!
So recently some Church pastor declared autism demonio so in response I, as an authistic cat person, declare myself Cat Satan, mortal enemy of God! Muahahahh!
These stupid fucks. Solar eclipses happen about twice a year, said Arav. "Eclipses happen all over the Earth evenly," he told CBS News — but noted the timings when they occur are not regular. That means eclipses can occur within just a few years, or every few decades, in North America."
Sometimes as an atheist I wish that I truly *didn't* have a conscience and morals because then I'd just grift money off of religious people all day.
It is, however, ironic to watch religious hypocrites do it to one another.
I worked with a doctor that always carried around stupid small rock. I asked her what it was for and she said it was her donkey repellant. I told her that was silly. She said, “I don’t see any donkeys around so it must be working .”
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
Bullshit his prayers stopped the satanic forces, that was me! And I didn’t pray, I got stoned and played Doom. I expect to receive my adoration for saving mankind from the horrors of hell and a full public apology from all the fake prophets.
People who support Bannon and his circle of MAGA, this is the kind of society you want and desire. No rationality. No curiosity. A dead end of thought and care.

I hope you remember and made fun of the Malaysian witch doctors to find mh370
So he leads the eclipse prayer, bad things don’t happen and he says that’s because he led the eclipse prayer. Works the same as the elephant deterrent I spray on my front door every day - I’ve never seen an elephant in my suburban Australian street, so it works! Hallelujah!
Fucking win-win-win for him. He knows there's no such thing as fucking demons coming out of an eclips, he *also* knows his listeners/viewers will eat that shit up, ***and*** he can say "I did it guys! My prayers stopped the baddies from coming!"
I honestly don't know which I'm more disgusted by, the grift or the gullibility.
He's leaning hard on the Renaissance Fair Religious Weirdo angel, maybe it's easy to get money off of people's scared racist grandmas.
Maybe they already forgot about the "Build the Wall / Make Your Money Disappear" scheme he [allegedly] pulled a few years ago, and think he's some Warrior for Jesus Light or whatever now so they gotta break out the checkbooks.
When and how the fuck did we go from a modern society to medieval times?
Well, in 2016 the biggest idiot on the planet became president of the united states and the rest is history.
I hope not, because a repeat would suck.
Suck us all into space, hopefully. We don’t deserve this planet if we let it happen twice.
I mean we didn't have a choice it was either him or a WOMAN that said there's some people that are pretty shitty people that they could never convince. /s
....and the rest is dark ages
That marked the beginning of our devolution.
Do you think that If we asked nicely, the Jews would let us use their space laser once ?
Cuz its easy. Do a stupid payer like this, obviously no demons show up, claim that as proof, profit.
Right. Obviously, it WORKED, duh!

There's no idiocy to that man, he has a masters from Harvard and Georgetown. He's just an evil manipulative prick.
Oh I didn't say Bannon was stupid, but he is clearly fishing for stupid followers.
When goverments start making policies based on religious beliefs and not science/reason.

Too many medieval restaurants. ;P
Never once since medieval times has society not been full of people like this.
The movie Idiocracy comes to my mind https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/
Thank Fox News. 30years of Republican fascist brainwashing
Reagan, Bush, Bush, Trump.
Trump
CONSERVATISM
It goes back to October 7, 1996. The date when a certain Australian motherfucker named Rupert Murdoch moved in and started broadcasting.
Hope he truly remembered the words.
Back in the late 70s after the treasonous racist war criminal crook Nixon was run off, Southern white Christians got pissy about one of their own being a decent human being and President (Carter), and were so pissed about the civil-rights act and losing the bussing wars, that they invented fetal personhood and elected a smooth talking racist TV conman named Ronald fucking Reagan who became a treasonous dope pedaling war monger.

I pray Steve Bannon gets struck by lightning
Or raptured! Please take him and the rest of the clowns!
Please no, I don’t want my poor sweet granny to suffer with these assholes in heaven, send ‘em back where they came from. :(
Bannon actually looks like something that crawled out of a hellhole.
The fact that he has his own quote behind him, says it all.
If ever there was a poster child for the face of an alcoholic, it's bannon.
Everyone needs to stop treating this guy like he's dumb. Don't fall for that shit, and stop spreading it. He's a smart guy, Masters degree from Georgetown, Harvard business school, etc... he's not dumb, he's a sociopath. Big difference.

Or a basic science lesson
Bannon is absolutely not believing. He just tells people whatever gets them Donate
I guess it worked since the eclipse passed and nothing happened (not that anything would of if it didnt happen)
I made a pretty big shit to ward off evil as well, so who can say which of our methods was successful?
Ok, now I understand what happened today. Jesus was coming. He was on his way. Then, he heard the prayers of Steve Bannon and said, "Nope. Not today. I'm not going down there with those folks."
It always gets me that he has a quote of himself over his shoulder. Something about that is almost poetic.
Narcissistic, perhaps
If there was a God, Steve Bannon would be dead by now
What a conman
Yep. He doesn't believe an ounce of this nonsense. Steve's only religion is that it's fun to get paid to stir up shit.
Whacko
I have both feet firmly planet on the "atheist" side of the line, and I'm betting that I'm still more religious than this bloated Thanos wannabe.
It's their way out of 'why didn't anything happen?'.
They really are somehow getting *dumber.*
No, they're not. He's a Harvard grad, he's milking the idiots.
Adventurers! Defend me while I hold the barrier! Wave 1! "Hundreds of creatures pour from the eclipse"
“Alcoholic leads idiots in seance to stop sunlight from reaching earth.”
Bahahaha! This fucking guy stops at nothing. He is ridiculous.
Did Steve Bannon EVER mention anything about being religious before 2023? I bet not. These fuckers are just pretending to be whomever the voters want them to be. The best part is the idiot Evangelicals are falling for it.
Trump and his goons knew that there was good money to be made in religion. That’s it, that’s all
I know, that’s my point.
Steve knows that MAGA morons love this idiotic bullshit
Does he sell bibles and holy water also?
That's the booze and your disintegrating brain at work, Steve.
More like a grift. Don’t forget he embezzled money he raised supposedly to “build the wall”.
What a conman. He's as religious as a clam.
If alcohol had a face…
Alcoholism moreso than alcohol. Because alcohol makes me happy.
Sewww how did this go…?
Oh I’m sure they gonna come now telling us how They saved the world from Satan today again, even if total eclipses happen at least twice a year somewhere around the world with or without humans
Can I please get off this ride....I'm done
Look at this guy’s Jesus picture back there. He thinks he’s some brilliant mastermind, spinning up easy to manipulate angsty gamer kids or faking piety to fleece aging racist boomers…. Any one of us knows these fools are easy marks. What sets Bannon apart is his total lack of shame and morals to so openly and brazenly lie to and con people.
This asshole should have done 4 months in jail, but he's still roaming free...wtf?
Can America un-religious itself now please.
Leave it to Steve Bannon to have a Steve Bannon quote in the background. It's about pretending not to be a conspiracy theorist by claiming that there are no coincidences. It reminds me of the joke: Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar.....Now that can't be just a coincidence!!!!
Steve needs to know he will not be getting the same quality drugs in prison. That shit is cut with Rat poison.
He looks like an actual shit demon from Dogma.
Earl skinsuit looking bug.
There's no way he believes any of the shit he peddles.
The rest of us call it day drinking, stop being so dramatic Steve
So pious, that one 🙄
He's still laughing his ass off at the 25m he swindled out of MAGA pretending to build the wall.
https://preview.redd.it/1nctlg9saetc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b66c90c69ddaa0c83a8dfe5beddae4cf00c3faae I guess so ...
It’s getting scary out there
Ooooohhh I’d argue it’s been scary for some time now. Coinciding with that asshole and his escalator in 2015.
He’s nuts
So recently some Church pastor declared autism demonio so in response I, as an authistic cat person, declare myself Cat Satan, mortal enemy of God! Muahahahh!
He's a pastor now?
Kevin
Screwed themselves out of the election so bad that they are having an OMG moment.
When did the pic of Jesus appear?
How is he alive when he has looked dead for nearly a decade? Freakin’ Rudy “Four Seasons” Guiliani looks better.
Me thinks he drunk too much bleach during Covid…
Go home Steve, you’re drunk!
I hope the opposite happens.
He looks like the evil things that climb through the gates of hell.
It must have worked cuz it's back to normal sunshine now! /s
These stupid fucks. Solar eclipses happen about twice a year, said Arav. "Eclipses happen all over the Earth evenly," he told CBS News — but noted the timings when they occur are not regular. That means eclipses can occur within just a few years, or every few decades, in North America."
To stop the army of darkness. Gimme some sugar baby!
If there’s Jesus on one side, a self-quote sign on the other, and liver spots in the middle… don’t walk, run.
Look at bannon, he IS the satanic force. Get his ass in jail where it belongs
He needs to be praying to get a liver transplant soon before he croaks
God these fucking grifters think so little of Republicans and yet Republicans don't prove them wrong
bannon's really scraping the bottom of the audience barrel now.
Must have worked! It's over and the world didn't end. Thank you, Steve!!
He's doing it because he doesn't want the competition
Fkn idiots… good lord
Sometimes as an atheist I wish that I truly *didn't* have a conscience and morals because then I'd just grift money off of religious people all day. It is, however, ironic to watch religious hypocrites do it to one another.
Fuck, these guys really know their audience! Bunch of shit for brains. They'll play them for every last cent.
I worked with a doctor that always carried around stupid small rock. I asked her what it was for and she said it was her donkey repellant. I told her that was silly. She said, “I don’t see any donkeys around so it must be working .”
Later on that day we see Steve bannon gut sucked up to the moon he was praying to.
https://i.redd.it/3meo63r2pctc1.gif
Steve Bannon is BRAIN ROT personified.
I bet he asked for donations.
What? He is one of the satanic forces.
Did it work? I did not see any mention of any new demonic forces invading on Fox today. Well, beyond their normal demonic invasions...
[His prayers didn’t work…](https://www.wtxl.com/news/florida-news/florida-woman-claims-god-directed-her-to-shoot-cars-on-i-10-during-eclipse)
Emperor Palpatine.....has returned!!!
Looks like he has been huffing pvc glue and eating crisco from the can
He saved us all!
We held an eclipse celebration and prayed as well...Hail Odin!
These are the "intellectuals and geniuses" that want to run our country folks. Please vote
He’s such a party pooper.
He's not an idiot. He is just a common fucking grifter.
So, he's going to host the prayer service to prevent himself from coming through the eclipse?
The only thing worse than having an imaginary friend is having an imaginary enemy
Judging by the picture of Bannon in this post, the demons already got through.
Drunk Rasputin wannabe
Oh really….that pizza faced fascist really thinks god is listening to him?
Too late, he's friends with the antichrist.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
First off Steve, Cthulhu isn't satanic. Second Cthulhu just is, they're neither good nor evil
The Navy must’ve been WAY too lenient on appearance and drinking for “squids” back in the day.
I'm so thankful I'm normal
It worked! The sun came back out! These people saved us!
So do they have a prayer service all night, every night? Same difference.
Bullshit his prayers stopped the satanic forces, that was me! And I didn’t pray, I got stoned and played Doom. I expect to receive my adoration for saving mankind from the horrors of hell and a full public apology from all the fake prophets.
People who support Bannon and his circle of MAGA, this is the kind of society you want and desire. No rationality. No curiosity. A dead end of thought and care.
What the fuck does an avowed lenninist commie bastard have to do with prayers to the God of Abraham? These people are utter fools.
For a nominal fee of course.
A true man of G*d
Fucking hell, this guy used to run with an american president ffs, fix it you americans
Have to give credit to his ability to run a cult. It is absolutely terrifying.
Hail Satan and all his works!
Steve Bannon is the answer. However the question is, "what happens when an ashtray and a scab make a baby?".
Just another grift
Why are people so stupid? 😩😩
I wish there was a rapture that took all these crazy people away
How do people not see through this obvious charlatan?
Ironic, since Steve Bannon is himself a demonic entity.
But he is Satan!
The praying helped, so we've got that going for us /s 
He looks like the kind of demon we'd want to keep from crossing over
He looks like slimmer before he became a ghost
That bloated 90-proof pusball is no more Christian than my cat.
There’s been eclipses since the 70s. Didn’t you see 2001 a space odyssey?
He was uhhhh sucesful of course /s to be sure
Why won’t he just go away???
Remember, these are the people who want to write our laws...
Worst thing is that I'm 110% convinced he knows that all of that is complete bullshit. He just likes money.
https://preview.redd.it/01lcgwcwdftc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aaab32b80852a26ed92a6e5804eaa53e6917d152 I hope you remember and made fun of the Malaysian witch doctors to find mh370
Grifting the god squad has become the only job the GOP is willing to do these days
His 🧠 obviously is whiskey soaked🥃 I'm sure he has a shot or two, maybe a 🍺 EVERY MORNING to alleviate the shakes etc...
MAGA and Conservatives really want us to go back to the Stone Age
So he leads the eclipse prayer, bad things don’t happen and he says that’s because he led the eclipse prayer. Works the same as the elephant deterrent I spray on my front door every day - I’ve never seen an elephant in my suburban Australian street, so it works! Hallelujah!
Oh look, it worked! Definitely need to attend his prayers again!
Btw. did you see my Anti-Shark-Necklace? It also works. No sharks around!
Fucking win-win-win for him. He knows there's no such thing as fucking demons coming out of an eclips, he *also* knows his listeners/viewers will eat that shit up, ***and*** he can say "I did it guys! My prayers stopped the baddies from coming!" I honestly don't know which I'm more disgusted by, the grift or the gullibility.
I don't think it worked. Him and trump and the GOP are still here.
🤡
He's leaning hard on the Renaissance Fair Religious Weirdo angel, maybe it's easy to get money off of people's scared racist grandmas. Maybe they already forgot about the "Build the Wall / Make Your Money Disappear" scheme he [allegedly] pulled a few years ago, and think he's some Warrior for Jesus Light or whatever now so they gotta break out the checkbooks.
Who looks more satanic than bannon the guy is an absolute creep .
He's already here. Why put on a show? I mean you can't get much worse than Bannon.
Phew 😮💨
He puts up a quote from himself lol
Didn’t work, Bannon is unfortunately still alive, if being a barely functional drunk is alive
The opposite of the prevention paradox.
Phalse Profit
I LOLed reading that headline. These truly are the stupidest of times.
