Definition of the Alt-Right: The alt-right is a loosely defined grouping of people with right-wing ideologies who reject the mainstream conservative political establishment and the press. The term embraces extremism related to white nationalism, anti-Semitism, white supremacy, neo-Nazism, and other bigoted ideologies.<br><br>There are many more definitions on the web, and if you actually research the topic, you'll find that the Alt-Right movement is comprised of various Right-Wing groups that aren't exactly the most appetizing people in the world.<br><br>Now, I've seen tons and tons of people claim Trump's a racist, xenophobe, alt-right asshole, etc. etc. Trump is not a racist, nor is he Alt-Right. The dude's Jewish grandkids are more proof than anyone needs to prove he's not racist. I also encourage you to actually read his immigration policy; you won't find a racist remark there. I'm not here to defend Trump, though. I'm here to change your view. <br><br>If you believe Trump is Alt-Right, or you believe that anyone can be Alt-Right without being a racist asshole, I'd love to hear your point of view on this. Bring it on.<br><br>EDIT: The term "Alt-Right" was actually coined by a Neo-Nazi group. There's your proof that the Alt-Right movement is actually a heinous collection of bigots and racists.<br><br>EDIT2: To those who say I'm trying to redefine the Alt-Right movement by saying Trump and his supporters aren't Alt-Right; I'm not trying to redefine the term. You're just using it incorrectly. Just because Trump and his supporters aren't politically correct doesn't make them Alt-Right. They still have the same old Right-Wing values that Republicans have had for decades now.
