The alt-right takes the traditionalist aspect of that older right ideological coalition, the collective concerns of family, community, country, to the extreme end of race.
Individuals become subservient to the collective, and the new line between friend and foe becomes who is within or without a particular group.
For the alt-right, that group is white people. Its no coincidence that alt-righters who dont like libertarians or more traditional conservatives often refer to them as cuckservatives. The Daily Callers Matt Lewis explains the term, A cuckold, of course, is a legitimate word for the husband of an adulterous wife
(but) the people who throw this term around are most likely referencing a type of pornography whereby a (usually, white) man is humiliated (or ironically thrilled) by being forced to watch his wife having sex with another (usually, black) man
So what does this have to do with conservatism or politics? asks Lewis. By supporting immigration reform, criminal justice reform, etc., a white conservative is therefore surrendering his honor and masculinity

For those of you who aren't familiar with Milo Yiannopoulos,his claim to fame is leading the Gamer Gate army against "social justice warriors" and uppity women.

(Sorry for having to cite to Breitbart, and for some of the truly vile material in the comments section, but it's strictly for the purposes of showing that the alt-right is truly the cretins of the internet, and these are the folks pushing Trump.)
