alt-right
White nationalist movement
The alt-right is a loosely defined political movement embracing white nationalism, anti-immigration views, and rejection of mainstream conservatism.
The term emerged in the mid-2010s as a self-identifier for far-right activists who considered traditional Republican politics insufficiently radical.
Alt-right figures organized online before gaining mainstream attention.
The movement is associated with racist and antisemitic ideologies, though adherents sometimes use irony and memes to obscure explicit positions.
