The problem with the alt-right, is just that. They are an alternative to conservatism, and clearly not a good one.
Is the “ALT RIGHT” an actual organization, or is it a term made up by the left, to give them a boogeyman, a strawman, whom they can say they are fighting against?
Exactly. Democrats want to hide their history.
One-hundred years later, it was the party that cast the votes for the Civil Rights movement and later for the rights of women to vote. It’s not the party that’s about to give it all back because of a few extremists claiming to be conservatives.
Some factual errors here. Women got the right to vote in all states via the 19th amendment, in 1920. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed in 1964. How does it follow that they voted “later” for the right of women to vote??
The Left is convinced that nationalism is the reason Trump won (America first; border wall; protect our jobs; protect our nation; make NATO pay; etc etc.)
The point of the statues coming down is all part of the attack on our national history and identity. Kneel for the National Anthem because America is evil and always has been. it was evil from its inception (say the Leftists) - racist, classist, murderous.
Though they started with Civil War figures, they’ve moved to Washington and Jefferson. The goal is to destroy any positive feelings we have for our American history and country.
That clears the way to open borders, globalism, one world government. The rulers will be elites - judges and post-democracy (democracy is unreliable and messy) forms of government where national borders are wiped out.
That’s the goal and the statue destroying is just one symptom.
There were many civil rights bills after the Civil War. Suffrage came after.
I agree if he’s referring to the 1964 bill, suffrage came well before that.
“Is the “ALT RIGHT” an actual organization”
No. But it is a term that they originated. It wasn’t a media made-up term.
Who is the “they” who originated the term “Alt Right”? Who does this term refer to?
For all the news coverage, and talking head programs I heard, I have yet to hear anyone say who exactly the Alt Right is.
I know Hillary mentioned it a time or two in her campaign, then dropped reference to it. Apparently it didn’t poll well in her focus groups.
He’s not talking about the Civil Rights Act, he was talking about the civil rights movement which started at least as early as Benjamin Franklin.
The movement for black civil rights preceded that of women.
There is a web site if you really care.
The Grand Old Party is the party that was formed with the sole purpose of ending slavery. It is the party that delivered Abraham Lincoln and fought for the end of slavery. One-hundred years later, it was the party that cast the votes for the Civil Rights movement and later for the rights of women to vote.
Well, where am I wrong? I don’t understand. He’s talking about the Republican party. That party was formed in 1854, long after Ben Franklin’s day. Roughly 100 years later brings us to the Civil Rights movement of the ‘50s and ‘60s, climaxing in the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Maybe not, but darn few will survive their party platform. Stink eye not included.
I do not go boating with democrats knowingly ...

If they whitewash enough history we can say that slavery never happened. Is that what they want?
Women got the right to vote in 1920. The first Civil Rights vote (that I’m aware of) came in 1956 during, and with the help of, the Republican Eisenhower administration. It suffered defeat by elements of the Democrat party.
“That clears the way to open borders, globalism, one world government. The rulers will be elites - judges and post-democracy (democracy is unreliable and messy) forms of government where national borders are wiped out.”
This reeks more and more of meddling by George Soros, the mad Hungarian (Sorry Mr. Hrabosky).
The correct description is “redwashing” history
If they destroy their history, then “we” don’t have to give them food stamps, welfare, reparations, etc....because their grievances don’t exist any more.
I keep being told that “the parties switched” and now we’re the racist, slave owning bigots.
Pretty sure they actually believe that.
