Don't be obtuse.
A mainstream rightwing media figure is out there expressing nostalgia for the good old days of mob violence and when you could just lynch your opponents and calling for a civil war (as well as beheading Fauci). This is also in the context of armed extremists threatening people who are just trying to count the results of the election. Police are required to escort them in and out of counting locations in some cities for their protection [1].
Even his former whitehouse colleagues have expressed disgust at the statement. You don't have to pretend that this is at all appropriate just because Bannon is on the same "team" as you and companies like Twitter and Google have no requirement to be a mouthpiece for calls to violence.
