Ralstonism (late 19th / early 20th century) advocated for a pseudoscientific health regime that believed ventriloquism, walking on the balls of your feet, and eating cereal (Wheat Chex) would give one mind-control powers. The movement also advocated for the castration of all non-white boys at birth.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

I remember someone told me, during Dubya's first term, that all Dems had to do was to keep their heads down and let the GOP keep getting crazier, and eventually all of the soccer moms will vote for Democrats because the the GOP went "too far." Things do not appear to have worked out that way.
