Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostWhat makes you think I'm in favor of any of that? The term "alt-right", which is short for "alternative right" is your clue that they do not represent mainstream conservative thought. You can't as easily separate mainstream liberalism from the social justice warriors and other expressions of socialism.
The Alt Right (or “alternative right" if you prefer) encompasses a range of people on the extreme right, who reject mainstream conservatism in favour of forms of conservatism that embrace implicit or explicit racism or white supremacy...as we saw in Charlottsville. And Breitbart, your bible, was declared "the platform for the alt-right" in 2016 by Steve Bannon former editor of Breitbart and, Trump’s strategic adviser.
The violent and murderous Charlottesville rally over the weekend was organized by the Alt-Right and no amount of pathetic pivoting to liberal protestors can alter the fact that the Alt-Right is wholly responsible for the social carnage.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

Originally posted by Tassmoron View PostWhat makes me think you're in favour of that is your relentless support for the Alt-Right and Breitbart.
Yes, Steven Bannon did once say that Breitbart was "the platform of the alt-right", but as with anything, context is important.
Of course that was before the left embraced the term and attached to it every hateful ideology they could think of, including those that have their roots in liberalism.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostThe reason nobody takes you seriously on this point is because you use "alt-right" not as an accurate description but as a largely meaningless pejorative against anything that is slightly to the right of your own bigoted left-wing ideology.

It wasn't just the so-called "alt-right" who perpetrated the violence. As President Donald J. Trump wisely said, "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides. On many sides." Furthermore, there are reports that the local police exasperated the situation by pushing the opposing groups of protestors together and then refusing to intervene when things became violent.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

There’s nothing “wise” about the morally degenerate Tweeter in chief. He demonstrates daily that he’s unfit for office...and never more so than today with his train-wreck of a news conference in Trump Tower. The hateful White Supremacist, Anti-Semitic rhetoric was initiated by the Alt-Right, with their Swastikas and Confederate flags. This is what incited the violence. To use schoolyard jargon: "They started it".That's what

Well now... it seems some researchers at Harvard and MIT took a look at Breitbart and came to some surprising conclusions... at least it will be surprising to low-info liberals who gullibly swallow everything fed to them by the mainstream media:

So rightly condemning the violence "on many sides" and then, after the facts were known, explicitly condemning certain groups by name proves that Trump is unfit for office?
Yeah, OK.
After a Bernie Sanders campaign worker James Hodgkinson, who had a hit list of Republicans belonging to the Freedom Caucus and asked if the people playing baseball were Republicans or Democrats before opening fire on them, didn't Democrat leaders say that we should oppose violence from all sides -- much in the manner that Trump did?
