I think he is correct in his statement:
Trump is an action guy focusing on the short-term action items that he can affect. Bannon, IMO, is a brilliant strategist. He is the key to the long-term strategy and will face increasingly extreme attacks from the neo-Fascists and the establishment politicos within the Republican party.
As Johnson alluded to, the neo-Fascists have been playing the long game for some time now (50-60 years). They are dug in within the politics of the inner cities, academia, primary/secondary education institutions. Routing the neo-Fascists out of these bastions will be critical for the long-term. A difficult task, but definitely doable. Once the immediate goals are met, this is where the battle space will be!

Thanks Trapper, it is always good to get the opinion of those at the coalface. RW Johnson's view is , as you say, from 30 000 ft, but the distance is in fact a lot more than that. All we do in Africa is get a cold when America sneezes.
