After being fired from the White House, Steve Bannon went on a four-month rebound adventure. During this time, he aligned himself with proto-fascist presidential hopeful Yair Bolsonaro and served as an informal advisor to Bolsonaro's victorious campaign in Brazil. Bannon's actions were influenced by the religious philosophy of traditionalism, which unites far-right populist thinkers across the globe.

Bannon's role in America was described as a blunt instrument for aggressively bringing about a mythic Golden Age.
