57. Seriously, you are offering your opinion as evidence

You are taking something rather simplistic and attempting to make it conform it to your opinion by adding false attributes in order to dilute what the "movement" is.

The "founder" or "leader" (admittedly he is merely a representative) coined the term and clearly defined it.

There is nothing nuanced, subtle or complex about the movement or its defenders.

You may call it knee jerk to soundly and completely condemn the KKK, Nazis, Christian identity movements (which do not embrace all Christians, solely white Christians) and all hate groups but those that monitor them and those opposed to them have no issue with their condemnation or the condemnation of the "alt right" which serves to provide an umbrella to cover these splinter and hate groups.
