Alt-Right, the ultimate phantom bogeyman. The term is extremely elastic. It can cover hard core Constitutionalists or it can cover the White Race or anyone whoever had a skeptical word about a Clinton or Hussein. It can be anyone who has not cursed Donald Trump in the previous week.

There is no way to “push back” against an epithet. That term and a cloud of definitional usage is entirely dependent on the MSM that includes the newly sanitized Social Media. If we don’t get some alternate alternate media going like Gap and such we will totally lose control of rapid communication. If the poohbahs at FB and Twitter don’t see the error of their ways by losing much of their market to non censored media then we are reduced to snail mail. Telephones are not terribly useful for reaching a lot of people immediately and how long is it before the telcos get into the censorship business if Twitter and FB show that there are no serious economic consequences?

We’re not pushing the CTRL-LEFT meme nearly hard enough.

Good points and I’ve been doing just that. I’m Also explaining how since the MSM has lost its credibility and many go elsewhere for news, now they are trying to discredit alternative news sources thru ‘shaming’. They used shaming as a means to try and shut down conversation before the election on Trump voters creating closet voters. Now they are trying to use character assassination to shut down alternative news sources since we’ve refused to be force fed malarkey.

But, thanks to Harry Reid. The number of votes required has changed. So, approval should not be an issue.

Agreed. It is not enough to defend Bannon. We should shame those who would attempt to Bork him.
