It’s a weird new term, I guess. But Hillary using it, has baffled the vast majority of the populace and so, it hasn’t helped her any. LOL

Because its proof that Clinton is losing..no reason to bring up racism unless the Democrats are losing, oldest Democrat trick in the book..when all else fails and you are losing, scream RACISM, and the subject from the Clinton Foundation, emails, etc etc all disappear

Milo and the Breitbart boys have been using it for a while, along with the term "cucks" when referring to RINOs. (Just a shortened form of "cuckold," look it up.) You'll hear them refer to Hillary as a "cuckquean," which is really quite brilliant. I have been seeing the hashtag #AltRight for a while, usually added to comments sections in articles, but never bothered to look it up. Then when all this stuff came out about Leslie Jones site being hacked, I saw it everywhere and looked into it. This was what 4 days ago? My understanding is that alt-right refers mostly to millennial white males who are taking back social media by fire storming Dem sites, usually with really obnoxious (but hilarious), totally politically incorrect memes, articles, or posts that send these people (particularly feminists) into meltdown. For example, the headline, which Shrill read out loud today: "Gabby Giffords: The Gun Control Movement's Human Shield." I almost fell off my chair laughing when she read that out loud and looked sternly at the camera like your old high school principal.

But I started hearing the term EVERYWHERE in the past two days, out of the blue. Today, I was at home and watching my local 12 o'clock news when the local NBC affiliate did a whole story explaining that "alt-right" means KKK Klansmen, white supremacists who dig Trump, and the feature included stupid cartoon Klan imagery (like something out of Dungeons & Dragons). And I was flabbergasted: what the heck? Because I had just looked into it a few days before and that's not what it means AT ALL.

And that was when it hit me...they've been gaslighting this for about 3 days now in prep for this speech today! They found this term while trying to dig up stuff on Steve Bannon and decided to turn it around to suit their own needs, and the media all got their talking points. It was on EVERY news channel tonight. You now cannot do a Google search without wading through DNC definitions of what Alt-Right means, literally burying the origins of the term. I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
