Why do Steve Bannon and Trump supporters on SW support RFK, jr. for president in 2024?

Is it just because he’s anti-vax? I read his Wikipedia article and the only two clues that made me think the far right would support him were that he’s anti-vax and that Steve Bannon encouraged him to file his candidacy. That said, Bannon is a huge red flag.

Bannon is a chaos agent. I believe that party politics is of very little importance to him, it's simply worked out that he has found a willing audience on the right. His agenda is to basically dismantle political norms. So, if the chaos comes from the right or left, either way works for him.

RFK Jr is "conflicting" enough to suit his needs perfectly. He can sow descent amongst the left whilst, simultaneously, feeding the craziness on the right.

Win, win for Bannon regardless. The sooner Bannon is put behind bars where he belongs, the better for political discourse everywhere.
