I think the “alt” part is in response to the current generation of conservatives who don’t really conserve anything because they are neocons.
Of course the left is very happy with the defanged right, so they call any actual conservative “alt”

Perhaps the part of the political right that’s not conservative and generally opposes democracy is kind of the home of the alt-right.
