I have spoken about this before, but the metrics that people have been using to determine who is "Left" and who is "Right" have changed, radically. There is a reason [url=https://i.redd.it/o2ha8fswe9iz.jpg]this[/url] has become a meme that is too close to reality. At this place in time, all of those are considered "Alt-Right", despite only those last four being the actual Alt-Right. It has become socially acceptable to lump all of them together and accuse them of one thing. That has been and will continue to be the tactic of partisan politics for some time.

As for being soft on them, disowning them and refusing to serve alongside them is certainly not soft. Condemning "violence on all sides" is not soft. Openly not wanting their support during your Presidential run is not soft. Not associating with them or claiming them as part of your platform is not soft. I could go on, but the real Alt-Right is [i]desperate[/i] for validation from the new Right. The reality is, no one is honestly giving them that. Instead, [url=https://i.redd.it/3cont3u0tcjz.png]this is who[/url] the actual Right is.

There's too many examples that go against the expectation and "standard" of the "Alt-Right" and none of the Right wing I personally know supports or cares for the Neo-Nazis, Klansmen or other equally sicking persuasions be them Right [i]or[/i] Left.
