The Alt Right is a left wing political movement. I’ve heard Alt Righters argue extensively for things otherwise exclusive to the left such as socialism, abortion, legalized weed, and perhaps most famously, trap porn. The only thing right wing about the alt right is their endorsement of white nationalism, but even that is rooted in liberalism. The reason they support white nationalism is because liberal policies can’t work for a society unless everyone in that society agrees to them; you can’t really have a bunch of people from other cultures coming in with opposing beliefs.

I've never heard a single accurate opinion on the alt-right.
Well hey, guy just un-ironically described them as nationalistic socialists - quite possibly without even intending the particular implication - didn't he? Screw you, Godwin, it's totally fair game this time!"Were you at the Unite the Right rally?"
"No, I don't go to gay pride parades."
Okay. So to start things off, I'm gonna go ahead and set the bar low for this thread by throwing out my basic, unsourced, unsubstantiated understanding of what "alt-right" means. Because I'm a lazy piece of shit, and an optimistic showoff, and also at work, typing on my phone for funsies.

There. Did I get it, Lumpy? Was I the First One Ever to just straight-up get it right first try? Totally not checking Wikipedia to see if I was, btw.
Also: bit of an aside here, (just a bit), but as much as I'm being mildly silly about this whole thing, in the application, right now, I still gotta take extra time to specially call out how silly this is:
Well, that's just silly. Of course they can; often, even have. Who told you that, and why did you believe them?The only thing right wing about the alt right is their endorsement of white nationalism, but even that is rooted in liberalism.
