https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right

The alt-right (short for “alternative right”) is a loose group of people with far right ideologies who reject mainstream conservatism in the United States.[1][2] The alt-right has no formal ideology, although various sources have stated that white nationalism is fundamental.[1][2][3] It has also been associated with white supremacism,[4][5][6] Islamophobia,[7][8][9][10] antifeminism,[1][11] homophobia,[12][13][14] antisemitism,[1][2][15] ethno-nationalism,[16] right-wing populism,[3] nativism,[17] traditionalism, and the neoreactionary movement.[4][18] The concept lacks a consensus ideology, and has further been associated with multiple groups from American nationalists, neo-monarchists, far-right leaning men’s rights advocates, and people who oppose mainstream conservatism.[19][20]

The generic writings are largely Internet-based and are found on websites such as 4chan and 8chan, where anonymous members create and use Internet memes to express themselves.[4][15][21] It is difficult to tell how much of what people write in these venues is serious, and how much is intended to provoke outrage.[22][3] Members of the alt-right use websites like Twitter and Breitbart News to convey their message.[23][24] Alt-right postings generally support Republican President-elect Donald Trump,[25][26] and oppose immigration, multiculturalism and political correctness.[2][27][11]
