Alt-Right

"Identity is the most important question to answer. Who are we racially? Who are we historically? Who are we in terms of our experience? Who are we in terms of our community?"

- Richard Spencer sums up the ideology of the Alt-Right.

The Alternative Right (or Alt-Right for short) is a loosely connected band of hate groups in the United States. The Alt-Right is the Republican Party's version of Antifa, as many members of the alt-Right lean to the hard right of the political spectrum. This group has earned hate from both Democrats and Republicans alike for their violent tactics and promotion of Nazism, anti-semitism, Islamophobia, white supremacy, homophobia, misogyny, and other bigoted beliefs

History
The Alt-Right had played a substantial role in the 2016 presidential election by supporting then-candidate Donald Trump, who then disallows the movement.

They played a role in the Unite the Right rally in which caused a member to ram his car into several counter-protestors causing the death of Heather Heyer. They tried to have an anniversary rally in Washington D.C. thought due to the massive backlash and extreme low turnout rate it was called off.

Several members have been a target of influence in racially-motivated mass shootings like the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, Christchurch mosque shootings, and the El Paso Walmart shooting. All 3 are considered hate crimes.

During the 2018 midterm elections, several members attempted to run for office, but most of them failed to get enough votes to win.
