Do we even know or agree on who we are talking about when this term is thrown around?

and I read yesterday that there are maybe 8000 white supremacist ...in the USA

8000 out of 360 million people...

that's far less than the 1.4 Million Transgender population we have in this country..!

So why is CNN acting like the Alt Right...errr these white supremacy groups is some massive machine that must be killed?


Seriously I am offended when CNN is out there this morning basically saying the Republican party has a massive problem with these groups....

8000 people is not a massive anything....

Basically a bunch of pasty dorks with authoritarian leanings (and only tangential connections to any actual conservative principles) trying to get internet famous to compensate for being shoved in lockers throughout their adolescence

While I thought it was conservatives against corporatism and big government, the alt right apparently has a faction of members who whole heartedly support the actions of a historically iconic alt left socialist.

Maybe I missed something, I just don't see the logic in being a Hitler loving conservative. His political views aligned far closer to Bernie Sanders vs Donald Trump

Sounds like a Google nerd too. Maybe all these different nerds should meet up and have a nerd off.

Thats what it was before the media redefined it to mean anyone who voted for Trump.

that's a fair point. It has followed the pattern of all Republicans being neo cons, then tea party, now alt-right. I dont disagree with you.

Which makes labeling them with "right" connotation extremely odd.

I am the Alt-Right. However, I disavow the public use of Nazi imagery. I disavow any and all use of Klan imagery.

Not really. Right doesn't always mean conservative just like Left doesn't always mean liberal.
