Between his CNN interview and his new tweets, Stephen Miller has now come out for unshackled American imperialism underwritten by assumed western civilizational supremacy. His relitigation of 1965 immigration act (which I wrote about) are functionally a way to call for some species of recolonization
Stephen Miller also very plainly believes he's awakening Kipling's Saxons from their Jewish hypnosis. He's just figured out a slightly more disguised way of saying it

Five years ago, our great American democracy was put to the test, and Donald Trump failed it.

The danger he poses was clear then, and it remains clear now. We must never forget that.
