Seeing this on the twitters right now and wondering if there are some folks here who can clarify this movement.
The alt-right, or alternative right, rejects mainstream conservatism, promotes nationalism and views immigration and multiculturalism as threats to white identity. It is a loosely organized movement—scarcely known in the last presidential election or even one year ago—that mostly exists online.
Alt-right is the newest fashionable name for the same old thing; White Supremacy. You're going to be hearing a lot more about it after Hillary hung it around Trump's neck like an anchor today...lol!
It was pretty easy for her to hang it around his neck, he was already embracing it.
I thought she did a brilliant job of not only highlighting his hateful comments but also the people he keeps company with and exactly who or what those people do and she did most of it using trumps and his campaign staffs own words or headlines.
Alt-right it white supremacy? Right. Sorry, Trump called this BS before Hillary's speech.

Here is a rather long article from vox on the alt right.
Basically the Breitbart crowd.
Branches from the old paleoconservatives, but w/o the social conservatism, but more blatant white nativist bigotry.
Also distinct from libertarians, where the focus is not individualism and democratic freedoms, but more trending towards tribalistic authoritarianism
Yep. Their ideology is that anything that anything the state does is good but only as long as it serves their (tribal) interests. The lowest common denominator has been found and is running for POTUS on the Republican ticket. It's fucked up IMO.So basically old school fascism.
Means anything from ex democrats to people who just don't buy into evangelical conservatism to trad cons to race realists.
It's just your standard pepe boogieman.
Chan Poster Gloriously Interrupts Clinton Alt-Right Speech

Prankster yells "PEPE" when Hillary Clinton mentions ALT RIGHT in her Reno, NV speech
It's looking more and more like Leslie Jones and or the DNC leaked her stuff deliberately to lay the ground for this buzzfeed grade speech. Apparently the leaks made it to the media before the chans, and were posted on the wrong board for such leaks.....
It's dirty tricks season.
Don't interrupt their hug-box.Means anything from ex democrats to people who just don't buy into evangelical conservatism to trad cons to race realists.
Don't interrupt their hug-box.
What's the alt-right? Not sure... but it's certainly what the bury-the-needle leftists (AKA "progressives") call everyone who doesn't happily accept J̶e̶s̶u̶s̶ progressivism into their hearts.
race realists.
