Can someone show me the party affiliation and primary voting records of these “alt-right” figures?
I’ve been told that Democrat politician and friend of Al Gore Junior, Fred Phelps, was an extreme right-wing bigot along with his “church” Westboro Baptist Cult and Lawyer Family. He was merely an agent provocateur who’s actions defamed Christians and their opposition to same sex marriage. He still got his digs in against the Iraq war by protesting at the funerals of dead soldiers.
How I despise those Westboro Baptists.
I counter-protested against them outside Arlington National Cemetery a few years back. I simply could not believe some of their signs.
That said, as despicable as they are, if they had a legal permit to protest, I cannot silence them.
The issue is, that right to Freedom of Assembly and Freedom of Speech is not reciprocated by the left, ever.
Ever.
Also, I am sick of this “alt-right” crap (as I assume you are by the quotes you used). This is just another attempt to corral all non-liberals into a common pen (throwing Tea Partyers and other conservatives into the same box with Nazis, even though Nazis are ideologically more in line with the Left and things like radical Islam)
I am tired of letting them control the language, but given they are 90+% liberal in the media, this is fully expected.
I read somewhere on FR yesterday that one of the leaders was an Obama activist and Dem operative who became very pro-Trump last November. If so, it is likely that the leadership includes several well-funded agent provocateurs who have attracted a number of people who lack judgment. If this is true, and if the diagram and the above accout is accurate, the theory that both sides are funded by the same people who hope to provoke some kind of explosion by putting these groups, both of which probably included a decent percentage of unstable people, together in close proximity is the only one that I have heard put forward that seems to make sense.
