I believe you could just as well conclude that these people are not conservatives by any reasonable stretch of the word, too. But then, "liberal" doesn't quite mean what it used to as well.
People at The American Conservative [0] might be religious nuts but I don't think anyone could in good conscience accuse them of being anywhere near alt-right.
And alt-right engages in identity politics, believes in primacy of the group over individual, see "enemies" behind every tree, and want to use the State against groups they dislike. Very much like the left. And while you would not want to meet either on a dark street, both, in US at least, are, generally, clowns who would be the first ones to be sent to the camps in the Reich, or USSR, or any other shining example of what happens when either come to power.

- komali2 7y agoWell, why is it every elected official in my home state is exactly as you described? Where are the actual conservatives hiding?
- Fins 7y agoProbably the same place real liberals are... not getting elected because two-party system and primaries make it so the more outrageous people make it to the elections.
