It must be some movement if nobody but nobody has heard about them.
Please tell me who excluded them? THEY DID!
The rest of us are Conservatives. We are considered to be on the Right.
They excluded themselves by coming up with a title they thought was better. Alt-Wrong!
You remind me of an ex-freeper who came after me during the primaries. He said that by preferring Trump to Cruz, I was in so many words admitting I am a closet liberal/leftist.
I said, if you could accurately explain why I’m supporting Trump, you’d know it’s not because I’m a liberal.
But he couldn’t be shaken. In his world there was A or B. A, you were a conservative and supported Cruz. B, you were a closet Lefty and supported Trump.
That’s you. You have no earthly idea why they’re called the Alt-right. You just know they’re lefties, or close to it.
However, there is a valid point buried in all this - that different groups that call themselves right wing and conservative are concered about different things.
Movement conservatives and establishment Republicans may care about social and fiscal issues, but many of them have absolutely no commitment to the national question. What I mean by this is that many conservatives believe that nations and peoples are completely equivalent, equal and interchangeable (an instinct that they share with the Marxist Left), and that if only we talked more about "family values" and cut back taxes and business regulation, it wouldn't matter if America had a Third World demographic.
Conservatives who are committed to the National Question recognize that you can't have a First World society, polity, and economy with a Third World demographic. The fact that the alt-right trolls have co-opted this important issue doesn't change its validity or importance.
