They didn’t give us this label. Some really bright guy on the Right did. Makes you wonder.

They didn't "invent" the term "alt-right" (not "ultra right").

They merely redefined it to mean "Nazi", "white supremacist", and "racist".

They did the same thing with "white nationalist".

The more we buy into THEIR labels, the more we legitimize THEM and their "rebranding" of us.

Of course we aren't "ultra" or "far" anything. If anything, we are "normals".

Just plain old Americans.

In my way of thinking, the farther "left" of us normals people are, the less American they become.

These are not the people who we should let define us.

"Alt-right" started out as a way of separating ourselves from the "derp state" so-called "conservatives". Trumpian patriots, if you will, and it was a perfectly legitimate schism.

Then we allowed the enemy to cherry pick and define us by the worst of us.

It's what they do, and they do it well. And we let them.

I will not succumb to their propaganda. I'm done letting them define terms.

(but I see your point).

It’s not you I am concerned with, and you’re right “alt” is correct and I was off base with “ultra”. Thanks.

If you don’t know better and someone informs you Hitler was on the right, probably back by our school systems, and then you hear a person claim he’s “alt right”, what are you immediately going to flash to?

Of course it’s not going to affect you. I’m not trying to win your heart and mind. I’m trying to win the hearts and minds of the public, and this definitely IS NOT helping.

I appreciate the give and take.

I’m heading out now.

Take care.
