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. Lee]] statue.

The '''alt-right''' ("alternative right") is an anarchic banditti of various atheistic, pagan, white supremacist, and socialistic circles. Virulent violence glorified among its mobs culminated in the 2017 ''Unite The Right'' rally in [[Charlottesville]], [[Virginia]], hijacking peaceful protests against the removal of the [[Robert E. Lee]] statue.

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.

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", or a rejection of traditional [[conservativism]]. In 2009, two more posts at Taki's Magazine, by Patrick J. Ford and Jack Hunter, further discussed the 'alternative right.'

It views the rise of left-leaning governments as an effect of multicultural amalgamation caused by large  business interests run amok. Libertarian (anarcho-capitalistic) elements of the alt-right oppose Keynesianism as well which, paradoxically, is the national (as opposed to global) predecessor of neoliberalism.

The alt-right emphasizes the crypto-polytheistic aspects of Christianity and links it to Greco-Roman and pan-European polytheistic history and "Western" accomplishments.  The alt-right views Christianity as a religion distinct from Islam and Judaism in its polytheistic elements and "special" relationship to European history.  The alt-right accepts the study of evolution and global warming as a product of Western polytheistic science.  It rejects the faction of evangelical Christianity for its pro-immigration stance (for proselytization purposes) although it views Europe's history of colonization and Christian proselytization as having a positive effect on those respective colonial countries.  Evangelical Christianity has moved to the right in recent times when it comes to immigration. Evangelical - especially white Evangelicals -overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump. However, the alt-right has not made significant inroads among evangelicals due to many alt-right individuals being irreligious or not very religious. In addition, many evangelicals have a sense of solidarity with their fellow Christians from other races.
