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.

I don’t know what’s so difficult about grasping that we are either Conservatives or we aren’t.

Any person that goes by “Alt-Right” instead of Conservative, has just differentiated themselves from a Conservative.

Here at Free Republic we have this strange tactic of calling ourselves Conservatives. We haven’t seen the light of naming ourselves anything other than Conservative, or loosely “on the Right”.

As a marketing ploy, they just caused me to lose interest.
