I noticed that was the new label everyone was using, almost overnight. Made me glad I stopped paying attention.
"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
Re: Alt Right
Means white supremacy according to the conservative right as well.
I spent a lot of time on Twitter this year. Especially during the primaries there was a very ugly side of Trump supporters with Pepe the Frog avatars that were saying some pretty hideous things to staunch conservatives of Jewish decent because they weren't willing to bend the knee to Trump. Even a few that weren't even Jewish were accused of being Jews simply because they weren't Trump supporters. So yeah, if the right doesn't get smart about the company they are keeping the entire group is going to get tarred when the neoNazis feel emboldened enough to come out.

The left's hate groups haven't hurt them.So yeah, if the right doesn't get smart about the company they are keeping the entire group is going to get tarred when the neoNazis feel emboldened enough to come out.
This isn't endorsing hate groups as they all need to die, but just pointing out that people will still "root for their team" even if Michael Vick's on it.

Re: Alt Right
I won't qualify it. I don't want them on my team, even if that means losing without them. If "my team" decides to continue to pretend they aren't what they are, then it's time to find a new team. The ends justify the means is the mantra of the left. I won't become them to defeat them. Because then I haven't defeated them.
