'''Alt-right''' as a term appeared 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.<ref>http://www.salon.com/2016/10/08/from-the-old-right-to-the-alt-right-how-the-conservative-ideology-of-fdrs-day-fueled-the-rise-of-trump/</ref>

In light of such ideological differences, it is important to debate how often the term "alt-right" should be used by those who claim to follow the mainstream version of it. On one hand, the term is an accurate description (the mainstream "alt-right" are an ''alternative'' to RINOs). But on the other hand, since the term is most commonly attributed to neo-Nazi Richard B. Spencer, it might not be smart to proclaim to belong to a term associated with him unless you actually agree with his core positions, and doing so could be considered as ideologically dishonest as the left's hijacking of the term "liberal."
