There’s no such thing as bad publicity. Yesterday the Hill reported that Hillary Clinton would be giving a big speech Thursday aimed at the so-called alt-right:
Clinton’s campaign announced Tuesday morning that her Reno, Nev., speech would focus on Trump and his aides’ “embrace of the disturbing ‘alt-right’ political philosophy.”
“This ‘alt-right’ brand is embracing extremism and presenting a divisive and dystopian view of America which should concern all Americans, regardless of party,” her campaign said.
I don’t know what Hillary will be saying tomorrow but one thing I’m pretty certain of is that attacking the alt-right isn’t going to lessen their influence. On the contrary, Dave Weigel writes today that some in the movement are actually looking forward to it:
On the alt-right itself, the speech is being welcomed as a sort of coming-out party; alt-right figures are finding their phones and email boxes glowing with new messages, asking to explain who they are and what they think.
That’s the reality here. Hillary Clinton is a candidate for president. By attacking the alt-right she’s elevating them in this election. She’s insuring lots of previously marginal voices will be appearing on cable news to discuss this topic. Hillary openly inviting them to center stage in the national debate.
I don’t think that’s accidental or some kind of miscalculation. On the contrary, I think she wants to elevate those voices for obvious political reasons.
From Hillary’s perspective, there’s really no downside to kicking this particular hornet’s nest. The inevitable response to her comments will only help solidify the idea that the Republican party is now the party of white nationalism, something many party leaders would dispute. Hillary needs to secure a high percentage of the black and Latino vote to get elected and starting this debate will help her do that. Also, her camp has been pushing for more moderate voices in the GOP to denounce Trump. This could accelerate that process as people who are not on the alt-right begin to wonder whether they can remain in a party in which that group has a growing voice. Strategically, politically it’s a smart move for Hillary. I get that.
But I think this could be very bad news for America and I wonder if Clinton’s camp has even paused to think about that at all.
Last year we saw a white racist shoot black church-goers. This summer we’ve seen riots in major cities and racist black radicals murdering white police officers in revenge killings. Racial tension is high. It has spilled over into violence multiple times already.
Trump has been criticized plenty for his tone, for his tweets. That’s fair game and I’ve criticized it myself. But make no mistake, Hillary’s speech tomorrow is going to significantly elevate the alt-right’s status on the national stage. She can pretend she’s trying to take them down all she wants but in reality she’s giving them a gift. This is the kind of national publicity the alt-right could never buy.
Hillary and Dems want their profile to go up.
They want to create a big boogieman to scare minorities and tie any one opposing her and Dems as racist.
Exactly.
We need a big alt-cntl-del...
Alt-right is Emmanuel Goldstein.
If you are here...
You ARE the alt-right.

“There’s one thing I learned from my Ex-Wife, you can’t reason with irrational people.” HA!
Nobody loves women more than I do; but I have a question (only a joke, no reason to be angry.)
Q. What is the difference between a Terrorist and a Wife?
A. A wife will NEVER consider ANY ‘negotiation’
^_^
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
The Criminal Left has given something the name alt right?
The Alt-Right are young nationalists and Western chauvinists who hate Islam, Liberalism, and globalism.
Most post on reddit and 4chan and troll the hell out of anti-Trumpers on twitter.
Some are conservatives but most are not... They’re very much like European right-wing parties(big government/nationalist) more so than Reagan Republican.
These guys have been with Trump since day one and have acted as an unofficial super pac pushing Trump online through various propaganda videos and pictures.
Right now the Alt-Right keeps their political activism online... But Hillary and the dems fear these kids: They’re are smart, energetic, vicious, and many got nothing to lose thanks to 25+ years of liberal policies.
WE ARE COMING.
"I HAVE A PHONE AND I HAVE A PEN"
“The Rock” with Nicolas Cage?
This is Hillary’s attempt at painting Trump as Barry Goldwater.
Its the flailing’s of a dying candidacy with no ideas.
"The conservative instinct, as described by Haidt, includes a preference for homogeneity over diversity, for stability over change, and for hierarchy and order over radical egalitarianism. Their instinctive wariness of the foreign and the unfamiliar is an instinct that we all share – an evolutionary safeguard against excessive, potentially perilous curiosity – but natural conservatives feel it with more intensity. They instinctively prefer familiar societies, familiar norms, and familiar institutions.
An establishment Republican, with their overriding belief in the glory of the free market, might be moved to tear down a cathedral and replace it with a strip mall if it made economic sense. Such an act would horrify a natural conservative. Immigration policy follows a similar pattern: by the numbers, cheap foreign workers on H1B visas make perfect economic sense. But natural conservatives have other concerns: chiefly, the preservation of their own tribe and its culture.
I'm all for a robust economy and economic opportunity, but those ideals seem to have been hijacked by those who seek profit, even if it means the destruction of American culture.
She’s not making it up. Just a quick stroll through Twitter will reveal a rampant population of alt-right activists. Look on Breitbart for a couple of long articles about it.
Not made up. There are some references upthread that will fill you in.
Alt-right is the 21st century “twitter” version of the hildabeast arch enemy of the 90’s:. the very right wing conspiracy
Hillary will call the alt right racists, bigots, nazis, xenophobists and mysoginists..there I save you 30 minutes of having to watch that horrible witch make a speech
By now, if you gotta ask what is the alt-right, it’s probably beyond your ken.
The alternative right is red-pilled. The alt-right has read the writings and speeches of America’s founders and forefathers, and the alt-right understands that not only were our forebearers wise men, they were white nationalists, and they explicitly said so(don’t believe it? Read this: http://www.npiamerica.org/research/category/what-the-founders-really-thought-about-race ). They put in place policies which made America around 90% white, that is, up until the anti-white revolution of the 1960s, which brought the Immigration Act of 1965, the Civil Rights Act, then the anti-male Title IX, and so on.
The alternative right knows that most so-called conservatives are actually liberals — cuckservatives — who accept the Left’s moral authority, and who are constantly trying to virtue-signal and show how egalitarian and anti-racist/anti-chauvinist/pro-equal opportunity they are, and want women and minorities to have power, etc.
The alternative right recognizes that Western civilization’s cherished values would not exist without a white majority in control, white males specifically.
If one REALLY wants to understand the philosophical underpinnings of the alt-right, one ought to watch this in its entirety:
If you’re alt-right, you’re not anti-racist; you’re anti-cuckservative:
The alt-right recognizes that if you have a child, a white child, whom you love and care about, and the public school your child goes to is populated by many violent and unteachable blacks who traumatize, harass, threaten, and attack your child often, then the moral position, the moral high ground, is the racist position of removing your child away from such an environment by whatever means available. The alt-right recognizes that in such a milieu, the anti-racism of forced integration is NOT a virtue; it is a moral failing and downright evil.
