Category: Alt-right

English[edit]Alternative forms[edit]Etymology[edit]

Abbreviation of alternative right, due to it being an alternative to conventional American right-wing and Republican ideologies. The word took its current meaning from a website called 'Alternative Right' created by Richard Spencer and Colin Liddell in 2010, being used only sporadically prior to 2010. The word became prominent in 2015 with the rise of Donald Trump.

alt-right (uncountable)

So a right without a Buckley will probably be smaller, and uglier to boot. I would expect this alt-right to be a lot more vigorously opposed to the civil rights movement than OTL's. It will also be much less relevant, and probably not snag a certain Californian actor. I predict, then, that America, on the whole, looks a bit more like a Western European social democracy, but with a right wing that looks (hmm...thinking...) well, looks almost fascist.
