Breitbart published this guide to the Alt-Right back in May. Milo Yiannopoulus is one of the authors of the article.

We, on this site, are the alt right as well, probably fortunately left out of that article. Maybe Shrill will mention us tomorrow? Really, anybody who isn’t GOPe is alt-right, now that I come to think about it.

From the article at the link you posted, these 2 paragraphs really sum up the appeal of a candidate like Donald Trump to me.

"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.

Thanks for the link to the explanation of alt-right.
