Trying to clarify this "Alt Right" thing

[g5000]

Not sure why there is so much controversy over this, but let's try to boil down the Alt Right in two ways: Its existence and its characteristics.

First, it is clearly not something that Hillary made up in her recent speech, as is claimed by some. Breitbart, perhaps THE leader of the movement (let us please not forget who is CEO of the Trump campaign), provided a fairly comprehensive look here, An Establishment Conservative's Guide To The Alt-Right, and the term was first used in context in 2008, here: The Decline and Rise of the Alternative Right.

The tiniest bit of intellectual curiosity and a quick internet search yielded those two helpful items.

Second might be a look at the characteristics of a member of the Alt Right. Obviously terms like this - especially political terms - are going to be subjective to a point, but some generalities can be made, so here we go. What are some general behaviors of someone on the Alt Right?

1. They have eschewed the GOP in favor of Donald Trump, who is clearly not a traditional conservative
2. They are VERY anti-"establishment" - in fact, the "Alt" in "Alt Right" could be interpreted as "alternative to the GOP establishment"
3. They are far more likely to attack a Republican as a "RINO" if that person goes against their orthodoxy
4. They attack RINOs and the Establishment with at LEAST as much passion as they do Democrats
   
5. They are far more likely to celebrate the huge schism that has formed in the GOP
6. They are far more likely to attack the GOP as being crony capitalists who are bought & paid for
7. Some, not all I think, have made a 180 from formerly supporting Bush's invasion of Iraq
   
8. They are far more likely to react to a Republican who won't vote for Trump by saying "good riddance, we don't need you anyway"

A 20,000-foot view. Thoughts?
.

They are called "Alt Right" because "Losers" didn't have the right cachet to it.

They are called Alt Right because Hillary said so on 8/25...there, fixed it for ya

You poor tard. Totally oblivious to the fact the Alt Right has been calling themselves that for years. You WISH Hillary had invented it. You dumb fucks have been drinking the piss for years that Nazis are left wing and it just chafes your crotch the Nazis freely acknowledge they are right wing, which makes you DUMBER THAN A NAZI.

"Nazi" is short for Nationalist socialist. Hardly right wing.

Alt Right was there in a Rdean Blog! It's True!

Nazis are Total Gubbamint Control folks, that is, Left Wing.

Right Wing = Individual Liberty and Freedom
Left Wing = Government Control

But please keep trying to pass off the phony "Nazi as Right winger" Talking Point

All well and good, but like the seven commandments in Animal Farm, it has been reduced from this to "Alt-right = Racists".

Whatever the term used to mean is meaningless. The Narrative now leads to the really really hard right being equated to the "alt-right", i.e. Sovereign citizens, White nationalists, etc.

look it's just a new word that leftists can use to write the word 'right'. they hate the right sooooooo much, they needed new words to change the flavor in their mouths.

I'm sure this member of the Master Race supports gay marriage, ObamaCare, amnesty for illegals, and affirmative action. I'm sure he opposes Voter ID, and probably donates all his income to Morris Dees.

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Oh my god, you dumb fucks are an endless source of entertainment.

There's no "controversy ", last week Hillary make it a cornerstone of her campaign and now it's crumbled into dust.

Would you say that the people and behaviors I describe in the OP don't exist?
.

They might.

Would you agree not one person at USMB ever mentioned Alt Right until Hillary 8/25 Talking Point

No one talked about the Tea Party until certain people began to call themselves that.

alt right is the new tea party for leftists like I said. remember when the tea party folks were spitting on blacks, and really weren't. wow, the leftist just hate those on the right. That's old news. Never met a lefty who didn't ever disagree with a lefty.

Impossible, Frank. After all, you assured us that Hillary would never be the Dem Nominee.

It once had a meaning and now is being bandied about to indiscriminately nail people that won't vote the way you think they should. How cool is that?

How does that work? Being bandied about? Free speech just really chaps your ass, doesn't it?

only when it disagrees with him.
