I am not alt-right.
I am an American.
I believe in the Constitution and the rule of law.
I believe the Democrat Party has become the Communist Party.
Proof is that the Communist Party no longer runs their own candidate and endorses the Democrat.

Most figure if it makes Hillary Clinton really upset, it’s got to be something good for America.

It’s a term that was made up in the alt-reality of Hillary Clinton’s mind.

It seems you are correct. I know of no one here who has ever heard of this before , and yet the media seems to think it is the equivalent of the KKK. I might add which is a Dem group throughout history,.
