Calling the National Review alt-right is an affront to the English language.
- cardiffspaceman 9y agoWell to be precise the National Review is referred to as a minion of the alt-right. Also it's a quote from the Nation so, as a liberal I think they shouldn't have wasted the keystrokes.
- judah 9y agoNo. You are mistaken. The National Review is a vociferous opponent of the alt-right, and has been since the beginning of that movement. The National Review is American conservative small government. The alt-right is European-style nationalist big government. The National Review has opposed President Trump from the beginning for this reason. Its editors, perhaps most notably Bill Kristol [0], has been a leading voice for the Never Trump conservative movement.

- partiallypro 9y agoThe National Review made a famous issue "Against Trump" and constantly has editors slamming Trump and "the new right." The "new right" is actually the "alt-right." Trump himself openly attacked the editors and everyone that is Alt-Right essentially despises the publication. The Nation doesn't even pretend to approach things objectively.
- NoGravitas 9y agoAgreed; as someone posted above, the correct ideological slur for the National Review is "neocon".
- redthrowaway 9y agoAnd I doubt anyone at the National Review would consider that a slur.
