Be aware. Even if our allies are using the term.

Reject it!

the enemedia will pound on “alt-right” for a few days. No one will know what it means, and it will resonate only with die-hard Hillary fans. The great unwashed masses of voters, if they think about it at all, will think “Meh.”, and it will convince no one to vote for Hillary who wasn’t going to vote for her anyway.

Hillary has determined, along with the Alynsky left...to ‘define’ those who oppose her and the Globalist Agenda she represents.

There is no such thing as “Alt-right”....it’s a typical diversion from the truth they oppose.

Hillary doesn't know what alt-right means either, which is the funny part and why she's getting thoroughly thrashed on the topic. Nothing funnier than an establishment politician who wants to look (1) young and (2) trendy. Think of Yeb! attending a Phish concert in a disco suit. That kind of funny.

FR was alt-right before alt-right was cool, but it isn't now; it isn't so much the site that has changed as that the term now subsumes demographics that didn't exist in 1997. Some of its inhabitants weren't born yet.

I'm on (tediously frequent) record as denying that "right" and "left" have any accurate meaning in American politics, so "alt-right" doesn't bother me all that much. Calling a dog's tail a leg doesn't make it one. These are silly people throwing around words they don't understand and it isn't my function to make them less silly because they aren't listening anyway. Just my $0.02.

I’m a little bit alt-country and the wife is a little bit alt-rock and roll.

Yankee Doodle

From Wikipedia -

Traditions place its origin in a pre-Revolutionary War song originally sung by British military officers to mock the disheveled, disorganized colonial “Yankees” with whom they served in the French and Indian War, apparently written c. 1755 by British Army surgeon Dr. Richard Schuckburgh while campaigning in upper New York.[13] The British troops sang it to make fun of their stereotype of the American soldier as a Yankee simpleton who thought that he was stylish if he simply stuck a feather in his cap.[1]

Americans took this song of derision; mocked the British and wore it as a badge of honor.

FWIW . . . my observations on the “Alt-Right” movement.

Contrary to what some on FR have posted here the last few days, the term and concept DID exist prior to this week. I’ve been aware of it for at least a year.

I was first exposed to it through some online videos regarding Gamergate. Among other things, Gamergate was a reaction to perceived social engineering in video games. There was some talk of a deliberate plan to inject Social Justice Warrior propaganda (militant feminism and political correctness) into video games to indoctrinate game players. Some of the gamers rebelled against this, which spilled over into other areas online. I’m sure there’s much more to the movement (and Gamergate) than that, but that was my introduction to the Alt-Right.

Alt-right is a deliberate slur.

Their definition of “alt-right” is really 75% of Republican voters. The actual fringe nutters are the GOPe.

I reject your rejection. I do not accept your negative definition my alt-right/Galt-Right label as something negative.

Remember what the leftist extremists did to the term, Tea Party? Does the term, “Tea Bagger”, ring a bell? These are the same tactics going on under our noses.

He who controls the language, controls the way people think.
