17 minutes in and this thing is pretty much what I expected. And also, BTW, I expect there will never be a documentary called "alt-left Age of Rage". About actual, real rage tearing up America.
Point of this Documentary -
1) Make the alt-right numbers grossly higher than they actually are.
They did this by creating "alt-light"... which is basically at least 2/3 of all conservatives if you use their definition. So if you are conservative, and you want to slow down the flow of illegal aliens - you are alt-light, if you are concerned about increased Muslim immigration - you are alt-light and therefore are alt-right. So basically if you are not a leftist - you are an alt-right racist. (Surprise!)
2) Tie in President Trump
A quote in the documentary - "Trumps campaign attracted a certain incipient "racial conscious" among the electorate. So a certain number of people wanted to vote for him because he wanted to slow immigration, throw out illegals and take a serious look at Muslim immigration. Those people are incipiently racial conscious because they support all if these policies because they will slow the disposition of whites to minorities. This was an important appeal to a number of supporters (Again SURPRISE!!)
Especially number two is ridiculous and takes the worst possible scenario of why people would vote for Trump, and make that the underlying reason many voted for him. Because they are racist.
What a joke.
