The term "alt-right" came into being in November 2008 when Paul Gottfried addressed the H. L. Mencken Club about what he called "the alternative right". In 2009, two more posts at Taki's Magazine, by Patrick J. Ford and Jack Hunter, further discussed the 'alternative right.' The term is commonly attributed to Richard B. Spencer, president of the National Policy Institute and founder of Alternative Right magazine. The alternatively right has alternatively been called "national" libertarianism, "neo"-paleoconservatism, "evolutionary" conservatism, "scientific" conservatism, and the post-religious right.<ref>https://twitter.com/douthatnyt/status/704462319074594816</ref> | The term "alt-right" came into being in November 2008 when Paul Gottfried addressed the H.
