If Wikipedia says so it must be true./s
There are hundreds of names intended to describe political “schools of thought”, but I stress the word “intended”, because many of these names, maybe even most, are used exclusively to describe the opposition.
For example, no conservative ever calls himself a “right wing extremist” and no liberal ever calls himself a “lib-tard”.
“Alt-right” is one of these, an invention of the left to smear the right. Don’t lend it credibility by posting a Wikipedia definition implying it is anything more than a tool of leftist propaganda. Anyone can write submit a Wikipedia article.
Note that the Wikipedia “definition” uses the phrase “a loose association”. If that empty phrase doesn’t register on your BS meter, then nothing will.
I used the Wikipedia definition only as a starting point, as it DOES include references/links to white supremacist websites and individuals. Though the creator of the term may never be known, it is indeed the socialists who are pushing the moniker now in their oh so smug superior knowledge of all things. They think themselves very clever in using it, as if it has always been term in everyday people’s lexicon, hoping it will become ‘normalized’. It actually is kind of clever in the sense that if people start using it synonymously with conservative or the like, without realizing that it’s more the equivalent to white supremacist, which most people know would be a lie in describing Trump supporters or conservatives, they will have succeeded in once again getting their ignorant true believers to unwittingly partake in yet another fabricated lie.
