It's clear that the whole "alt-right" thing is a smear designed to attribute ordinary right of center people with racists, nazis, etc. We see it in these threads where posters are called "alt-right" without it actually being defined.

So people who call others "alt-right".

Please define "alt-right" and give some examples of who they are, and who on the right they are not.


k thanks.

20-25% of the voting population. The makeup of which is as follows:

  • Trump supporters
  • Tea Party people
  • Ron Paul supporters (most)
  • Right-Leaning anti-establishment people
  • Nazis
  • KKK
  • White Supremacists
  • Some pockets of isolated Middle-Class Americans
  • Independent conservatives
  • Right Wing Talk Radio hosts
  • Frustrated ex-Democrats

so wait, if all these fundamentally different view point people are the "alt-right", how does the word have any meaning?



is the "alt-right" racist? I ask because that mainly seems to be the gist of the calling.

I think alt-right pretty much describes anybody who rejects mainstream conservative values in favor of few hard-line stances most of which have racist origins.

Actually, I think he was pretty specific about differentiating between alt-right and main stream conservatism. I know, I know, it doesn't support your rhetoric, and that's frustrating, but it's right there, if you just use your reading muscles.

Don't know about you, but it's difficult to view such a stance, and not completely dismiss the person making it. In fact, just about impossible.

It's a revelation that erases any and all subsequent opinions such a person might offer, as it proves all objectivity has been completely removed.

Wow. So you equate Trump supporters with the KKK and neo-Nazis? Independent conservatives the same? Even frustrated Dems? No wonder you are so angry all the time.
 
ReverendHellh0und said:
Seriously?


how about you name for me some stances trump supporters and trump has that's racist. you must be specific and provide links. onus is on you.

That would require an active list of coherent stances. Do you have any or are you gonna keep deflecting?
 
ModerateGOP said:
Name me a stance they have that isn't.

Kinda depends why they have their stances, doesn't it? how do you attribute something so broad to 10's of millions of people?

Included in the only examples of "alt-right" in this thread, are Ron Paul supporters and independent republicans (like myself). Apparantly, as I am 'alt-right', I am very conservative, but none of my conservative positions have anything to do with race. Ron paul supporters, libertarians, argue for freer borders just short of outright amnesty. Fact of the matter is, I, as a fellow "alt-right" follower, has never mentioned race, but the progressive movements can't stop talking about race and racism.

Oh, you were very clear. Your comparisons are stunning.

Not all Trump supporters are alt-right, but all alt-righties are Trump supporters.
I also don't know how you can still support Trump at this point while defending regular conservative values

Oops, picked up something you deleted. I won't respond to it for that reason.

What I clicked on reply for was more light-hearted. Your first sentence reminds me of some IQ tests I've taken. ;)

No, actually he wasn't. He is basically saying, and so are you evidently, anyone who voted for Trump is racist. Which of course is absolute bull****. But I actually support this kind of rhetoric. I know dopey libs are only doing this to get out the vote, but at the same time they are revealing to normal, sane people, the true depth of their literally insane ideology. I dont think this is going to have the desired effect in the voting booth for leftist loons. ;)

You do realize, I didn't mention Independents, Moderates, conservative Republicans, Traditional Republicans, Moderate Republicans, Moderate Democrats, Socialists, or Communists, right?
