The definition of "alt-right" has bifurcated. Originally, it meant non-GOP establishment (aka, GOPe), which is what I think you mean. The term was adopted by white nationalist groups, and that has been the primary definition used by the media.
- flukus 10y agoI'm using it in an even more general sense, the rise of non-establishment right wing groups around the world. Was the term adopted by white nationalist groups or was that just mud slinging that got stuck?
