what is the alt right?

[Syriusly]

Alternative right, a blend of white supremacists, nationalists, Nazi lovers, nativists, xenophobes, misogynists, homophobes, and the extreme right wing.

Americans pretend there is no racism and yet the democrats have lost the white vote since civil rights. Coincidence. Trump's Mexican and immigration policies appeal to white Americans today. Reasons abound, see video at bottom. See this too, read it. Dog Whistle Politics

For the Record: For Trump, everything’s going to be alt-right

"Kritzer’s observation speaks volumes about the incoherence of the reactionary politics that are driving the Puppy campaign — and, in national politics, the Trump campaign. Despite all the claims to make America “great,” the actual behavior looks quite a bit like kneecapping the aspirations of women, people of color, and queer people so that straight white male mediocrities don’t have to deal with the competition." http://www.salon.com/2016/08/23/the...-hijacked-by-trumpian-style-culture-warriors/

Here at USMB that would include Stevie the Racist, Odium, Shootspeeder and a number of other big Trump fans that just coincidentally do not think that people of non-Caucasian/European origin are equal to European Caucasians.

 

[Mr Natural]

The Alt Right is made up of old pissed off white guys who feel they are most discriminated against people in the country.

 

[Dr.Traveler]

Aside from some shadowy existence in the deranged mind of democrats there is no alt right movement.

A nationalist is anyone who opposes globalism. Libs are trying to make borders offensive.

You are absolutely wrong and clueless. The hastag #AltRight has existed on Twitter for a long time now. There are articles about the rising issue of the #AltRight that go back a long while now. There are folks on Twitter who label THEMSELVES with the #AltRight hashtag. It exists, and denying it exists makes you look out of touch with reality.

The big thing is that the AltRight is ABSOLUTELY NOT the Tea Party. It isn't Conservatives. These are assholes that want to act like assholes. They care about Conservative issues at all. They are racist scum that are disowned by anyone that talks with one for longer than five minutes.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

The term keeps popping up. Never heard it before the end of the primary. What is it?

You will learn here that it doesn't exist. Just like the KKK is dead and gone. No white supremacists here. Nope.

Certainly there are extremists on the right and the left, and Hillary's recent efforts to incite African Americans against the police marks her as one of them, but there the term alt right is an effort to make voters believe they are part of a vast right wing conspiracy that doesn't exist. Hitler, Erdogan and the old white southern politicians used the same tactics as Hillary to gain popular support with their conspiracy theories.

Hillary/Democrats aren't inciting African Americans. They are pissed off at racists.

No, they are the racists and they are the ones who have endorsed the racist thuggish black lives matters group.

As a rule I block #AltRight users on Twitter out of hand. If I see you using that hashtag you're gone. I've found the last few months I've been blocking folks here at an alarming rate too as there are some folks parroting the views without the hashtag.

 

[Borillar]

So the alt right is essentially the caricature the left has been claiming conservatives are for decades just coming to life.

Caricature? More like a close-up photo under bright lights, revealing all the flaws and blemishes that usually get airbrushed out of the picture.

 

[OKTexas]

It's the fear mongering left attempting to change the vernacular again, in an attempt to scare minorities, because their other libelous terms were failing. They'll over use this one just like all the rest and invent something new and it will start all over again. If nothing else, the left is very predictable.

Wrong.

It's about the fear-mongering right, and the politics of division and fear practiced by many conservatives: Fear of change, fear of immigrants, fear of diversity.

I just love the regressive projection propaganda, I can't count the number of great belly laughs you freaks have given me. Thanks for another.

"We're the platform for the alt-right," Bannon told me proudly when I interviewed him at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in July.

How Donald Trump's campaign chief created an online haven for white nationalists

 

[OKTexas]

So the alt right is essentially the caricature the left has been claiming conservatives are for decades just coming to life.

Also wrong.

It's an accurate and factual designation of rightist extremism exhibiting nativism, jingoistic nationalism, and unwarranted hostility toward inclusion and diversity; such as hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric, screening Muslims coming to the United States and the like.

Right, like that San Bernardino bitch couldn't have used a bit more scrutiny. LMAO

The old John Birch Society. Ron Paul's less savory constituency. Some KKK. Aryan Nation. Dylann Roof

and this guy:

 

[WaitingFor2020]

The term keeps popping up. Never heard it before the end of the primary. What is it?

It's Breitbart, WND, Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones and Hannity all rolled into one big gooey white nationalist movement with Donald Trump as their poster boy. Perhaps the conservative news agencies are ignoring it but the liberal ones are all over it.

I knew you were trolling. Transparent.

If you don't think the alt-right exists then you are part of the alt-right.

He must be one of those LBJ Democrats we hear so much about.

There isn't an alt right movement?

Go argue with Breitbart. They confirm its existence.

Oh, and notice who is the co-author of that article...

...Milo Yiannopoulos

yes, the latest darling of the RWnut crowd.

How often of late have we heard you people raving over him, eh?

He's a descendant of the Democrats that LBJ said the party would lose once the party became the party of civil rights.

The Alternative Right (Alt Right) is just another name for far Right racialists. There is a reason for the use of "Alternative". It sounds more palatable than "Extreme".

Here is how they define themselves:

No, they are racist. They hate whites and are an extension of a previous bigoted prejudice occupy wall street group.

 

[g5000]

It's a Democrat construct

Bullshit. Thanks for showing us you are willing made up a lie instead of admitting your ignorance of a subject.

Alt Right is a name the racialists gave themselves. It is not a "Democrat [sic] construct".
