There's a lot of confusion out there due to a relatively brief appropriation of the term "alt-right" by a political tendency that is now more commonly termed "alt-lite".

The dividing line that's emerged is "civic nationalism" (alt-lite) vs "ethnic nationalism" (alt-right)
ie: anybody can be an American provided they adopt the right values and behave as an American, vs only white people can be American and everybody who is not white (+ jews) needs to be made to leave.
Needless to say, the latter tendency is especially packed with literally textbook fascism.
