According to the [[mainstream media]] the alt-right supposedly emerged as one of the central opponents of the [[Establishment]], and was also often times hostile to mainstream anti-Establishment conservatives. Although originally intended to refer to nationalist and anti-establishment conservatives, [[liberal]]s have twisted the term and have used it to describe white supremacists and neo-Nazis. Regardless of the definition(s) of "alt-right," the [[Liberal|Left]]'s extreme beliefs and behaviors are the cause of the alt-right's growth, not conservatives.<ref>Fiene, Hans (May 17, 2019).

Some college students are coming to resent the ideals of [[Progressivism]], which seemingly pushes them toward the right.  However, having a deep dissatisfaction for the perversion of "equality" (which is actually re-packaged sameness) that has come as a part of [[Postmodernism]], this leads them to reject "equality" outright and no attempts to describe the difference between equality and the push toward sameness have any effect.  As such, these students are not progressives, but they wholly reject Christianity,<ref>[https://www.firstthings.com/article/2018/03/the-anti-christian-alt-right THE ANTI-CHRISTIAN ALT-RIGHT]</ref> the Christian Reformation, the resulting age of Enlightenment, and finally the United States Constitution.<ref>[https://www.claremont.org/crb/article/are-the-kids-altright/ ARE THE KIDS AL(T)RIGHT?]</ref>

[[Vox Day]], a vocal proponent of the alt-right, argues the alt-right will see substantial growth in the shortterm and midterm due to immigration backlash and whites becoming a racial minority in the United States (Day argues that whites will embrace [[identity politics]]).  In addition, Day believes that the alt-right has a long term future, but it must embrace cultural Christianity and support Christian revival if this is going to happen.<ref>[http://voxday.blogspot.com/2017/05/darkstream-christianity-paganism-and.html Christianity, Paganism and the alt-right]</ref> Day also argues that right-wing parties in Europe started to grow quickly in Europe after they publicly dissociated themselves with neo-nazis. Day argues that alt-right can do the same. Also, Day argues that Nazism is leftist and never has been right-wing.<ref>[http://voxday.blogspot.com/2004/04/left-wing-nazi.html The Leftwing Nazi]</ref> Furthermore, Day predicts that there will be a [[Reconquista]] 2.0 and that Muslims will be expelled out of Europe.<ref>[http://voxday.blogspot.com/2016/12/these-are-merkels-dead.html These are Merkel's Dead]</ref>

On the other hand, Paul Gottfried argues that the alt-right brand has been permanently damaged due to the alt-right leader Richard Spencer and others ruining the brand of the alt-right and the movement is now associated with neo-nazism and racism (Richard Spencer made some allusions to Nazism and gave a Nazi salutes at an alt-right gathering and it was caught on film. Spencer claimed he was only joking and it was a display or irony and exhuberance. At the alt-right gathering, many alt-righters joined him in his Nazi salutes).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8VYmY89_KU The Alt Right - What went wrong?]</ref><ref>[https://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/white-nationalist/ Nazi salutes ‘done in a spirit of irony and exuberance,’ alt-right leader says]</ref>
