The alt-right are not conservatives.
They are collectivists with a strong racial component.
As with any other words in the looking glass, it means...nothing. It wasn't intended to describe but to disparage. Attempting to define "alt-right" is a fool's errand.
I am not the new right, the old right, the alt right, or any right that the MSM or the silly pointy head talking faces decide to call me. I am just the Right! I am not the Left. I am an American. Not Irish American not Italian American, not Mexican America and not African American, just American! I am a veteran. A Patriotic Veteran. Stand for that Flag you whiney, rich, spoiled children! I am a Christian. No we are not fading away and we will not go gently into that good night! But you can call me a Nazi, a bigot an idiot, I have been called them all and much more. I am not offended. I am not a child. More to the point, I just don’t give a rats ass.
The alt right is a leftwing group. The division is between conservatives and globalists.
Alt rights are not conservatives so there is no division. A recent survey showed Trump voters still support him at 98%, and Democrats at about 20%. This leaves PLENTY of room to pick up new rides on the Trump train which will happen.
Congratulations, gogeo! You have capsulized an idea that every American citizen needs to understand, and that is, the Progressive movement's ongoing Alinsky-like strategy of creating and/or redefining the language in order to isolate and target those whom they wish to disparage.
What fools they are! They may have been born, or have immigrated into, a nation whose basic documents of liberty were plain spoken and clear, recognizing that Creator-endowed liberty is for each individual, with not human-imposed classifying labels!
Only today, those who wear the Progressive label are being exposed for what they have been all along, and that is a collection of power seekers who wish to divide, exclude, and fool enough citizens so that those self-proclaimed Progressives can gain power and lead Americans back into the same state as that which existed prior to 1776.
Thomas Jefferson, only days before his death on July 4, 1826, explaining his inability to attend a gathering to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration, wrote to Roger Weightman:"All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. These are grounds of hope for others. for ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them.”(Jefferson, June 24, 1826, to Roger Weightman, End of Jefferson quotation)
Ask the Mensheviks (the minority) who lost one vote and got permanently tagged as the minority by Lenin.
Still, I'd stay away from alt-right and New Right labels.
Why not choose more descriptive and more accurate ways of labeling different groups?
