Accusing all whites who take pride in their Southern heritage of being "white nationalists" or "hatemongers" is itself both non-sensical and inflammatory. The media does not care to make the difference, and simply turns them all into extremists. Hillary Clinton implied the same thing with use of the word "deplorable", and it ushered in her defeat. The only difference now is that the establishment is meeting greater resistance, and the world is getting a less sanitized view of what reality really is. Racial and cultural tensions existed long before Steve Bannon, and will still be here when he's gone.
