I'll present this in point by point form, so folks can respond; this will include the intelligent folks and the liberals.
1. I stand corrected when I suggested a while back that there was such a thing as the Alt Left. There isn't. All anti-American left wingers are in total lockstep with their agenda and they don't dare move from the ideology. It includes: impeach Trump; raise taxes, open borders, government controlled health care; disarm the public and overturn the Second Amendment, abolish ICE and the Border Patrol, increase welfare spending, outlaw all internal combustion vehicles. There is no Alt Left. There is just the left.
2. There has been some confusion about the Alt Right. Some who haven't studied this phenomenon may think the Alt Right is just further to the right than the average conservative. That isn't even close to factual. The Alt Right and mainstream conservatism is almost as far apart as right and left.
3. To quote Ben Shapiro, (a conservative who is routinely bashed by the Alt Right) "The Alt Right believes ideology and ethnicity are inextricably intertwined, the same identity politics of the left. On the identity politics left, if you're a black person and a leftist, you're a leftist and a Democrat because you are black. On the identity politics of the Alt Right, western civilization was not built by people with good ideas; it was built by people with white skin, and that means people who don't have white skin cannot properly assimilate into western civilization. This has no basis whatsoever on fact. There were a lot of white skinned people living in Britain before the Romans arrived and they were not anywhere near civilized.
4. Mainstream conservatism (which makes up the vast majority of legal Americans) believes the greatness of America was achieved by the IDEALS of the Founding Fathers, not their skin color. Such ideas include liberty, religious freedom and the rule of law. Some idiots have actually accused Shapiro of being Alt Right, when for the past year the Alt Right has bashed him for being a Jew. It's even a little iffy to suggest he's a conservative because didn't didn't actually vote for Trump, (or Hillary).
5. Mainstream conservatives who speak for most of America include people like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ben Shapiro, the late William F. Buckley, etc. You'll notice they don't all agree all the time. They aren't in lockstep like the left.
6. The Alt Right makes up a TINY minority of Americans. If you're wondering where they get a lot of their ideas from, in this video Ben Shapiro reveals a clip of Jarrod Taylor, an long time Alt Right spokesman, who very clearly lays out the message of the Alt Right.
7. Wanna know why I get so pissed off when a left winger plays the race card here? ("you're afraid of too many brown people coming to America, yadda yadda yadda.") I grew up in an era of REAL racism, back when civil rights ideas of today were considered dangerous to have. Back in the late fifties, early Sixties, Jim Crow laws successfully segregated everything from lunch counters, public water fountains and public bathrooms. I saw it up close and personally. Back then, the Ku Klux Klan was considered mainstream and was 100 times larger than it is today. (Today the entire membership of the KKK would barely fill a small time mall.) Back then the KKK was most powerful in Democrat controlled states. I grew up in North Carolina, a closed primary state where Democrats basically ruled everything, where my parents had to register Democrat to be able to vote in local elections. Back then, the KKK was about as admired as the local American Legion.
(I actually got suspended here for calling out a liberal for a racist remark. I won't put up with it and if it happens again I'll call the poster out, and I don't care if I'm banned for life. This is the 21st Century and racism has no place here whatsoever. I don't have to put up with it. Life is too short.)
