Blatant racism towards black led movements? Check!
Nasty slurs being used towards women like cunt and whore? Check!
Inability to compromise? Check!
Willing to burn this nation to the ground by allowing Trump to destroy minorities and freedom and allowing him to have access to nukes? check!
Hatred towards Clinton, Obama, and most other Democrats? Check!

Sounds EXACTLY LIKE the alt right to me.
