You know about Charlottesville, and use the term "white supremacist" and "alt-right" but know nothing about Antifa .

Heard of them but not familiar with their beliefs, except that they are anti-fascist...although I thought that was a good thing?

They are the fascist if anything. But among other things they call anyone barely right of center or who want to limit immigration "fascist", "Nazis" or "white supremacist".

All I’m saying is that you seem to be in agreement with alot of Alt Right beliefs and seem to be sputtering off their talking points...so do you identify as one or not? Don’t be bashful.

I identify as a conservative. I'm supporting to a large extent conserving toward a "1955" or "1960" America. I'm not really sure what the Alt-right is exactly. If it means nationalism or even separatism I don't have anything against that.

The Associated Press stated:

The 'alt-right' or 'alternative right' is a name currently embraced by some white supremacists and white nationalists to refer to themselves and their ideology, which emphasizes preserving and protecting the white race in the United States in addition to, or over, other traditional conservative positions such as limited government, low taxes and strict law-and-order. The movement has been described as a mix of racism, white nationalism and populism [...] criticizes 'multiculturalism' and more rights for non-whites, women, Jews, Muslims, gays, immigrants and other minorities. Its members reject the American democratic ideal that all should have equality under the law regardless of creed, gender, ethnic origin or race.

I don't care or believe everything the AP and media claim. I've heard of other definitions or descriptions of the alt-Right so the extent that it exist I'm not sure it can be clearly defined. I think it is true it's skeptical of immigration and multiculturalism and for good reason.

According to Ann Coulter and all the other Breitbart bobos. You don’t actually buy into that rubbish do you?
