alt right
White nationalist faction
The alt right is a loosely organized far-right political movement that emerged online in the 2010s, characterized by white nationalist ideology, opposition to mainstream conservatism, and provocative internet culture.
The term, short for "alternative right," was coined to distinguish it from traditional Republican conservatism.
The alt right gained visibility during the 2016 presidential election.
Critics note the label can sanitize views that would otherwise be called white supremacist or neo-Nazi.
