The '''Alt-right''', or '''alternative right''', was a short-lived, loosely defined, [[conspiracy theory]] that began in 2008, and allegedly reached  prominence from 2015 to 2017 in connection to the rise of [[President Trump]], the [[2016 Presidential election]], and the 2017 ''Unite The Right'' rally in [[Charlottesville]], [[Virginia]], organized to protest the removal of the [[Robert E.

At the Charlottesville protests, many racial hate groups were present, such as the [[Ku Klux Klan]] and Neo-Nazis which Presiendt Trump unequivocally condemned. The event resulted in much violence between protestors, counter-protestors, and police, culminating in self-identified white supremacist James Alex Fields Jr. intentionally ramming his car into a crowd of people, killing Heather Heyer and injuring 35 other people.<ref>https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=%2Fg%2F11cjpdc0b5</ref>

The movement is said to not have many set stances or positions aside from opposition to [[multiculturalism]], [[immigration]], and [[globalism]].<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/03/29/an-establishment-conservatives-guide-to-the-alt-right/</ref><ref>http://theweek.com/articles/641595/how-american-nationalism-coexist-globalism</ref> According to the [[mainstream media]], the alt-right supposedly emerged as one of the central opponents of the [[Establishment]], and was also oft hostile to [[mainstream conservative]]s. Although originally intended to refer to [[nationalists]] and anti-establishment conservatives, [[liberals]] have used the term to describe [[white supremacist]]s and [[Neo-Nazis]]. Despite the alt-right as a movement being long dead in the last few years, mainstream leftists seem to insist on using the term as one of their many inaccurate weaponized pejoratives to scare more moderate people in the political sphere away from certain figures.
