Libertarian - Right
What is Alt-Right? I consume a lot of media (TV & Internet) and I don't remember hearing that term prior to 8-24-16. I have done some looking since and it sounds like the latest Left Wing Propaganda to slander Right leaning Libertarians.

Someone please educate me.

I have taken it as the latest left-wing propaganda to slander anti-establishment conservatives, and, Trump supporters.

In other words, it's an utterly meaningless term. ;)

It use to mean fringe, extremist right wingers. According to Hillary now, it applies to anyone who supports Trump or is a member of the GOP that has perpetrated a conspiracy against them since Bill was elected.

We've never had a right-wing populist movement in the United States. Sure, in the US we have a lot of right-wing parties and politics. The Tea Party, traditional conservatives, neoconservatives, right-leaning Libertarians, yadda yadda, but all of those are all still classical liberal movements. (Classical liberalism is a political ideology and a branch of liberalism which advocates civil liberties and political freedom with representative democracy under the rule of law and emphasizes economic freedom.)

Comparatively there's a lot of right-wing populist movements in Europe. Think of Swiss People's Party, the Alternative für Deutschland or France's National Front. Sure there's a couple of "fed-up" or "pissed off" conservative folks here and there voting for them, but generally it is a group of supporters who tend to be the nationalists and the quasi-fascist, skinhead and hooligan types. Not generally the type of people that make polite dinner company.

Regardless since Trump's candidacy, and him running his mouth off, these people have come out of the woodwork in the US which is horrified both conservatives and liberals alike, and the media's nicknamed them the "alt-right."

Trump is far from an alt right. Most of his lifelong political views have been fairly liberal. Now Ted Cruz is right or alt right, Trump is far to the left of him or perhaps as far left as George Pataki. Santorum is to the right of Trump, Huckabee, Carson, Graham and many more. Trump is an opportunist who utilized his "I will build a Wall," routine along with some nasty political incorrectness, calling people names and a fighting spirit to win the GOP nomination.

There are legit, self identified "alt righters."
They're generally more extreme conservatives, the rights version of the lefts modern progressive movement.
 
'Alt-right' is the latest talking point/catch phrase thrown out by leftists for their empty headed muppets to regurgitate.

And the Muppet show is in full effect.

It's just another term liberals are using to describe people who disagree with them while, technically, not making a blanket statement regarding "all Republicans" or "all white males". It's the equivalent of saying "I'm not suggesting that you adhere to such and such a belief but since you believe differently than I do you just might be one of them".

The whole point of Progressivism is to split everyone up into certain demographics, demonize them, set them against each other and ultimately destroy society so that Progressives can come in and "fix" it all. It's classic Trotskyism.

the intro

The alt-right is a segment of right-wing ideologies presented as an alternative to mainstream conservatism in the United States.[1] The alt-right has been described as a movement unified by support for Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump,[2][3][4] as well as opposition to multiculturalism and immigration.[5][6]

The alt-right has no official ideology, but various sources have described it as a loosely-defined conservative movement that is associated with white nationalism,[6][7][8] white supremacism,[2][6][9][10] antisemitism,[2][6][11][8] right-wing populism,[12][13] nativism,[14] and the neoreactionary movement.[1][15][16]

The alt-right has been said to be a largely online movement with Internet memes widely used to advance or express its beliefs, often on websites such as 4chan.[2][9][11][17][18]

So basically its a right wing populism that is divorced from traditional conservatism.

Tell it to Hillary and the DNC.
