But I started hearing the term EVERYWHERE in the past two days, out of the blue. Today, I was at home and watching my local 12 o'clock news when the local NBC affiliate did a whole story explaining that "alt-right" means KKK Klansmen, white supremacists who dig Trump, and the feature included stupid cartoon Klan imagery (like something out of Dungeons & Dragons). And I was flabbergasted: what the heck? Because I had just looked into it a few days before and that's not what it means AT ALL.
And that was when it hit me...they've been gaslighting this for about 3 days now in prep for this speech today! They found this term while trying to dig up stuff on Steve Bannon and decided to turn it around to suit their own needs, and the media all got their talking points. It was on EVERY news channel tonight. You now cannot do a Google search without wading through DNC definitions of what Alt-Right means, literally burying the origins of the term. I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
I'm not on TWITTER, so I am out of that loop.
IIRC, that Gabby Gifford shield thing has been around since Gabby got shot and she and her husband went on their nasty aniti-gun/"victim" tour.
I haven't heard the alt-Right stuff before today and today I was too busy with REAL LIFE stuff to hear much news.
Many thanks for your explanations and observations.
You should not be surprised at all, though. Anything that threatens libturds has to be destroyed quickly. Usually at first by defining it by lies into something universally hated. KKK, Hitler, etc.
