Twitter Is Having A Field Day Mocking “Alt-Right” Racist Trump Fans (TWEETS)

The words “alt-right” have been at the forefront of American politics since the rise of Donald Trump to the Republican nomination. They have been his most ardent supporters, gleefully embracing Trump’s barely concealed racial dogwhistles and ethnonationalist propaganda to the point where they are largely dictating the narrative of Trump’s campaign for him in a flood of hateful online venom.

The alt-right is described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “big-tent ideology that blends the ideas of neo-reactionaries (NRx-ers), who advocate a return to an antiquated, pseudo-libertarian government that supports “traditional western civilization”; “archeofuturists,” those who advocate for a return to “traditional values” without jettisoning the advances of society and technology; human biodiversity adherents (HBDers) and “race realists,” people who generally adhere to “scientific racism”; and other extreme-right ideologies. Alt-Right adherents stridently reject egalitarianism and universalism.”

But what does all of that mean in practice? Twitter decided to debate what the alt-right actually entails, which resulted in some brutally accurate allegations from liberals that were countered with astonishing racism from the proud alt-right, which merely proved the point of the liberals in the first place.

…and those who took the hashtag seriously but end up merely proving the points of those relentlessly mocking them:
