Declan Lynch: Steve Bannon knows the Irish can't resist a bit of the old nationalism
"Irish MAGA and an Irish Trump"
"spending a ton of time behind the scenes on the Irish situation to help form an Irish national party"
"the country is right on the edge, thanks to mass migration"
Steve Bannon is actively working to create an Irish MAGA and a Trump-style national party. He is spending significant time behind the scenes to help form that national party. Bannon characterizes mass migration as a destabilizing force, saying the country is on the edge because of migration. The effort intends to transplant American-style populist and nationalist tactics into Irish political life. The campaign targets voters receptive to anti-immigration messaging and nationalist rhetoric. External organization and messaging could alter the electoral conversation and attract supporters who feel threatened by migration.
