Friday, Stephen K. Bannon, Chairman of Citizens of the American Republic and filmmaker for Trump At War, Former Chairman of Breitbart and CEO of the 2016 presidential campaign for Donald J. Trump,  was in Toronto to talk about the worldwide rise of  the Populist movement and to debate a former Aide to former President George W. Bush, at the Munk Debates. “This is about the little guy versus the elites,” Bannon said. “The little guy identifies with that, whether it’s in Hungary, whether it’s in Italy, whether it’s in Brazil, whether it’s in the United States.” Bannon slammed what he called the “great elites of the permanent political class” for causing the devastating financial crisis in 2008 and waging endless wars like the one in Afghanistan. CHAMPION OF DEPLORABLES "Those same elites consider the populist movement to be made up of racist, nativist xenophobes. Well, it’s not. They’re the backbone of our country, the most decent people on Earth,” Bannon said. After a feisty 90 minute debate, Bannon emerged the winner of the debate. BANNON IS THE WINNER https://twitter.com/spaikin/status/1058526862979133440 From the website Munk Debates: "Throughout the Western world, politics is undergoing a sea-change. Long-held notions of the role of government, trade and economic policy, foreign policy and immigration are being challenged by populist thinkers and movements. Does this surging populist agenda in Western nations signal a permanent shift in our politics? Or, is it passing phenomenon that will remain at the fringes of society and political power? Will our politics continue to be shaped by the post-war consensus on trade, inclusive national identity and globalization, or by the agenda of insurgent populist politics, parties and leaders? The Autumn 2018 Munk Debate will move the motion: Be it resolved, the future of western politics is populist, not liberal..." VIOLENT OPPOSITION https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZxy-FfhvSQ&feature=youtu.be   https://twitter.com/TorontoStar/status/1058510691852795909 https://twitter.com/KathrynLedwell/status/1058525494902222848 https://twitter.com/blogTO/status/1058505288167223296 THE FASCIST LEFT  https://twitter.com/MokhashParmar/status/1058498805543264258 The Debate had an hour delay due to the violence of and obstruction of the violent mob of angry anti-Populists. The Debate was very popular online. The Debate was controversial because the left tried to shut them down numerous times prior to Friday. "Hundreds of protesters descended on the downtown concert hall to voice their opposition to the debate between former Trump strategist Steve Bannon and former George W. Bush aide and speech writer David Frum. As the attendees arrived, the crowd of protesters grew to the point where police lined two deep between them and those waiting in line to enter. Protesters chanted, booed and jeered at those waiting in line, and held up signs with slogans such as, "refugees are welcome," and "human rights are not up for debate." Police used pepper spray to subdue some protesters. The dramatic scene outside the Munk Debate slowed entry to the venue, and the event started some 45 minutes late, at 7:30 p.m. ET," reported CBC News.

Wishing that Steve Bannon will go away or refusing to debate him, as many would want, is not going to resolve anything. Nor, will insulting its many supporters by calling them “deplorables,” even if some are, is going to help anyone to win any hearts and minds. That can only be done by understanding what their greviouses are and offering workable solutions and countering their fears and the falsehoods that may be behind them.
