IMO the proponents of supply-side are, economically speaking, truly the bad guys. Because they know it's a con and it's ultimately about the obscenely wealthy gobbling up more wealth and power.

Those other things aren't black and white though. Many of them genuinely believe things like climate change and higher education are "liberal" institutions that are destroying the country. If you listen to their media, that's the thrust of it -- the way to solve all the country's problems is to eradicate all liberal institutions. It's crazy, but their motives aren't evil, they're just delusional, and they think the same about us.

Not so sure about that. Most climate change deniers know that they're full of shit and they are willfully helping coal and oil companies in the short term at the expense of the planet in the long term. That to me is even more plainly evil.

Now if you're just talking about the useful idiots in the general populace who they have brainwashed with things like Faux News and talk radio, that's another story. But then these are the same people who have been tricked into voting against their own economic interests by swallowing the "trickle down" bullshit they were fed. It's all the same.

Well considering this is an ACTUAL QUOTE from Steve Bannon:

"Darkness is good. Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That’s power. It only helps us when [liberals] get it wrong. When they’re blind to who we are and what we’re doing."

I would say yes. Yes absolutely. At least the incoming administration is. They literally openly admit it, and they're taunting those of us on the "light side" who are too blind to see it.
