Sorry, could you elaborate? Are you saying that it’s impossible for someone right wing to dislike Steve Bannon, or that no one should express right wing opinion

  Where do I say that? I don't like manipulative arguments. This person tried to set themselves up as being unbiased or "above the situation". This is done so that others, who normally tune out certain types of people or have a bias (which to be fair is wrong but natural), will take their arguement more seriously. It's like when the wise old man in a movie finally speaks on a contentious issue Everyone listens more closely and places a higher initial value on their opinion. This is entire conversation was about excess administratiors/managers, whether that's the case at all or some companies has almost nothing to do with employee groups, like a group of Black employees. These groups are self managed by employees with the backing of HR. This person is so right wing that they couldn't help make a point about how overly sensitive we are and that these groups are unneeded due to that. This is Glenn Beck at a chalkboard connecting everything negative (bloated management) to a view of opposing political force. It's so transparent that I blew my head gasket. Alone that would be annoying but combined with the "I normally hate X and disagree with X but this view has some merit" BS guided my response

    You don't say that. If you had said it I wouldn't need to ask for clarification. I'm just trying to understand what you did mean. [EDIT: you subsequently added an explanation, thanks]
