Alt-Right gives them political validity. Can we please stop saying it? Fascist Nazi is more apropos

I know the media will keep saying alt-right because the Nazi fascist racist is now mainstream in American (yet again).

I thought these sorts of people were mostly a myth, but wow am I seeing a lot of them these days. I saw one on facebook the other that I was certain was a parody, but it turns out he was a legit person.

...I wish I could say your comment was hyperbole, but unfortunately, I cannot. I read history. I'm not stupid. We are much closer to the abyss that most of us even know.

NNPA-New Nazi Party of Amerikkka. Republican party is in that mix of groups vying for the trumpfuhrers favor. They think they can control this monster. Decent americans better get ready for a slugfest with these dangerous nazi clowns, especially minorities of color or when wearing their hijab. They are emboldened cowards that will attack defenseless women. Already happening. I just hope they pick on that Iraqi or Afghanistan vet and she surprises the fuck out of one of these clowns. Hope it's caught with social media.
