Did you read his interview in The Hollywood Reporter? Forget the source -- the post-election interview is obviously in his own words.
The guy isn't a Nazi, racist, or anti-Semitic -- his goal is actually to expand the GOP coalition to include minorities. But he's not a conservative either. From the article:
....He absolutely — mockingly — rejects the idea that this is a racial line. "I'm not a white nationalist, I'm a nationalist. I'm an economic nationalist," he tells me. "The globalists gutted the American working class and created a middle class in Asia. The issue now is about Americans looking to not get f—ed over. If we deliver" — by "we" he means the Trump White House — "we'll get 60 percent of the white vote, and 40 percent of the black and Hispanic vote and we'll govern for 50 years. That's what the Democrats missed. They were talking to these people with companies with a $9 billion market cap employing nine people. It's not reality. They lost sight of what the world is about."
In a nascent administration that seems, at best, random in its beliefs, Bannon can seem to be not just a focused voice, but almost a messianic one:
"Like [Andrew] Jackson's populism, we're going to build an entirely new political movement," he says. "It's everything related to jobs. The conservatives are going to go crazy. I'm the guy pushing a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan. With negative interest rates throughout the world, it's the greatest opportunity to rebuild everything. Ship yards, iron works, get them all jacked up. We're just going to throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks. It will be as exciting as the 1930s, greater than the Reagan revolution — conservatives, plus populists, in an economic nationalist movement."

That being said, I still don't like the accusations of racism/anti-Semitism, which the (often anti-Semitic) left loves to toss at anyone they oppose. But this guy's actual ideas are not something that most conservatives should be celebrating.
Yes, Trump is likely the most liberal Republican ever on economic issues, I don't appreciate all of his foreign policies stances either but I hope stalwart Republicans like Pence and Sessions can reel him in.
But he still intends, to seal up the border, fight terrorism, preserve the nation's Christian heritage that took a beating for 8 years and the most pro-life Republican to ever be on the ticket is Mike Pence.
Trump likely will be somewhat non-interventionist; his platform also mirrors much of what Pat Buchanan campaigned on and has written about for years.
Sometimes, mean-spirited hyperbole by others might cause me to add in some hyperbole as well.
