      I think Miller is more a mix of Joseph Goebbels and Wormtongue, both sycophants seeking to advance on the backs of others.

      Smeagol was basically a good guy until he was enchanted by evil. Miller brings evil with him.

        I think of Miller as more like Himmler, which is why I call him PeeWee Himmler. Bannon is more analogous to Goebbels.

        Goebbels was on the propaganda side, while Himmler was on the Final Solution side.

        JRR Tolkien had smeagol a chance at redemption, but Sam blew it. There’s a yt video about it, if anyone cares to look.
