/* Is the Alt-right a prelude to an "Anti-Christian Right?" */
::Second, the actual Alt-right despises traditional American Conservatism. Truly despises it. Once it becomes influential enough in the GOP, it will begin attempts at a hostile takeover. It will demonize us of all people as Establishment globalists because we embrace traditional American Conservatism, and therefore are not "alt-right" enough. If those tactics sound familiar, they should. Those are the same tactics the radical left used to take over the DNC nearly 50 years ago. History is in the process of slowly repeating itself. The DNC had their Baby Boomers, and now we have our Millennials. Like their Baby Boomer counterparts, the Millennials are so disillusioned with American society that they have become prone to accepting extremist, counter-cultural, anti-Chrstian ideologies as the answer to life. The Baby Boomers flocked to the New Left. The Millennials are flocking to both the Bernie Sanders Left and the Richard Spencer Alt-right [[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 11:10, 7 March 2018 (EDT)
:::From a public relations perspective, the mainstream press killed the term alt-right in America post Charlottesville. It didn't help that [[Richard Spencer]] was an atheist who coyly flirted with a neo-nazism allusions (Nazi salute, etc.) to get publicity while saying he was not a neo-nazi. The Nazis leaned left wing and it is no mistake that the name of their party was the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
 
:::It seems to me that the agnostic and Canadian Jordan Peterson is having more political influence than the alt-right at the present time (Peterson has a mixture of left/right ideas). See: [https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=alt-right,jordan%20peterson Google trends: Jordan Peterson and alt-right].
:::I am not sure what is happening with the alt-right in Europe.
:::For all intents and purposes, the term alt-right isn't really needed. Right-wing nationalism and fundamentalist religion is growing in Europe/world and backlash against Islam and Muslim immigration is growing fairly rapidly. I understand the usefulness of political terminology, but whatever terms you want to use for people on the right, the right is growing.
