Current Events > Can we admit that the alt-right is now just the right?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I remember when alt-right was a new fringe thing that most people didnt really take seriously. Let them express their views in the free marketplace of ideas and people will see how insane they are espoused many liberals and moderates.

And where are we now? All of the bigoted, conspiratorial, pro-Nazi, pro-fascism ideologies that were once considered the alt-right have pretty much infested a large portion of mainstream right wing discourse.

Is that a controversial thing to say or can we just admit that now?

The wrong

So whats the solution?

To what? The terminology? It's literally the crux of the topic.

TC, they've just been The Right for quite a while now, and it's been hilarious when jagoffs try to do the 'magas aren't REAL conservatives!'

No, to the proliferation of bad ideas.

Stop trying to negotiate with fascist freaks and show to your non-political friends what the consequences will be if they keep burying their heads in the sand.

If that doesn't work then flee the country.

Why feed medicine to the patient after theyre already dead?

Yeah they've been that way for a while now. Then again, that's how they've always been deep down. They've learned they don't have to be polite and hide their bigotry and hate anymore.

I'm sure we'll get "I'm a conservative and not a fascist bigot", but we all know even if they aren't just flat out lying, they will still support the fascist party so their "I'm just for a smaller government and a free market" crap means nothing.
