I'd first ask what you define/see as being under the umbrella of that label (actual groups, persons, etc.), how you define their views (or rather, understand their views to be defined), etc. to make sure of what you are viewing as such.
Yes, this first.Quote:

When I hear that term I picture Breibart news and Milo Yianpoulous. But I am not sure what it actually means.
P.S.
Are you white? Do you love America? Do you believe in individual nation sovereignty?
You're a, wait for it...........
White Nationalist!!! Gasp!
Velocitas, Opprimere,

The left is so fond of labels... I say we bring back some oldies but goodies when referring to them... Assholes, perhaps?
In my opinion, Alt Right is a contrived term to put conservatives in a box and then assign common, negative beliefs and attitudes towards them. Liberals have tried for many years to make everyone believe that Republicans are all a bunch of homophobic, racist, bigots of one sort of another. Now that they have been saying it for so long that it has been disproven, they are embracing a new way of marketing it. Basically now they are saying "well this new fringe Alt right, who aren't even republicans have hijacked the Republican Party. These Alt right guys are the Skinheads, and unsavory people and people who believe in government destabilization. Republicans need to go out of their way and renounce these causes because if you don't, by default you believe in them and you are part of the Alt Right. " It's just a branding war against conservatism plain and simple. It's designed to continue the myth that most of the Republican and Libertarian parties are just a bunch of racist Skinheads, and convince those low information Republicans to be self haters, vote for spineless, ineffective, low energy, elitist, or liberal minded Republicans like John Kasich, Jeb Bush, and Mitch McConnell. People who are happy just getting elected and voting on legislation across party lines, not introducing anything controversial, not resisting the liberal wave of activist legislation, and never try and advance a conservative agenda. They are scared of people like Cruz, Trump, Santorum, etc who actually have an agenda, who intend to pursue it, and who aren't looking to just be absorbed by the party collective and assume the position of subordinating to the elitists.

I think ColoradoMinuteMan nailed it.
The New/Alt Right are the conservatives who got tired of the pussycat Republicans who rolled over whenever the Leftists moved their agenda along.
it's the lefts new moniker for those they disagree with. Since the RACIST / RACISM terms have failed them. As it did here in CO when they used WAR ON WOMAN in the Udall / Gardner contest
However. anything i hear or read from the Alt-Wrong i ignore as more futile ramblings of the weak.
