However, there's something else he can do, something for which he will not want credit (or blame, as the case may be).
That particular something is tied to the basic differences between most MAGA and the techbro MAGA.
Including regular MAGA.
Ramaswamy made this quite clear with his series of hectoring tweets on why he preferred H1-Bs to American workers.
And well-armed nuts.
And often have enough military training and self-discipline in their obsessions to be effective in achieving their nutty goals.
Ramaswamy and Musk, by contrast, are just grifters and con men.
Imagine if he'd stuffed that truck with C-4 instead of firecrackers & drove it into the hotel instead of parking it in front of the hotel.
Bannon knows how to dog whistle in such a way that whatever results therefrom is not tied back to him.
