Each time Steve Bannon gets up and announces that he's going to take over the country, he does a belly flop and ends up getting arrested. The only reason this clown still has oxygen is because we keep giving it to him by cowering to his delusional threats. Just laugh in his face.
There are real threats to this country, many of which we should be fighting against every day. But Steve Bannon magically waiting an army of werewolves and seizing control of the federal government is a joke. Even he knows it. He just says this stuff to raise money from idiots.
The media and the pundits also surely know that Bannon's laughable threats are just nonsense he comes up with so he can line his pockets. But "Bannon is an evil genius who's going to take over the country and we're doomed" is a ratings-friendly narrative, so it always gets hyped.
Cowering to Steve Bannon doesn't make you "vigilant." Arguably, it makes you as gullible as the people on the other side who give Bannon money because they think he really can take over the country. Don't let the media goad you into gullibility. You're too smart for that.
One big aspect of Bannon's money grab is that he scares our side into cowering and fretting over him, and then he points out to his own rubes that he's got the liberals running scared. When you laugh in his face, you cut off his business model. "Vigilance" means laughing at him.
