The country built on the virtue and the character and the strength of the American workingman circa 1955–65 was the ideal he meant to defend and restore: trade agreements, or trade wars, that supported American manufacturing; immigration policies that protected American workers {and, hence, American culture, or at least America's identity from 1955 to 1965}; and an international isolation that would conserve American resources and choke off the ruling class's Davos sensibility {and also save working-class military lives}. This was, in the view of almost everyone but Donald Trump and the alt-right, a crazy bit of voodoo economic and political nonsense. But it was, for Bannon, a revolutionary and religious idea.
