Alt-Right is just a scapegoat term that allows Republicans to act like this is new.

It is their new term so that after this is all over they can say, "Nope! We're the good ol' GOP we've always been! It's the Alt-Right that gave rise to Trump! We real Republicans would NEVER feel that way!"

It is a means for them to shed this snake skin of theirs and do their best to survive.

There is no Alt-Right. This is the poisoned, dark core of Conservatism.

There is a form of Conservatism that is fine, but it's in the minority compared to this.

Again, Alt-Right is not a new thing. It's a scape goat term to protect the GOP's battered reputation.

Tell all your friends.
