So the fall of the alt right is more important then it seems, it was the defeat of organized White identity politic that we have not seen before or sense. Yes the right wing has re surged under Trump with new found patronage from powerful people but organized Whiteness has been thoroughly defeated. The new wave of the right is very racially agnostic with many of its big names being POC. If you watch Jreg he coined this "multi racial fascism"

Since when did the alt-right go anywhere?

They went to the top of the government.

I guess you could say the alt right is just mainstream republican politics now.

Where is Richard Spencer now ?

The alt right is organized White identitarianism. That was their main policy innovation.

The alt rights main goal was more power or at least better unity and institutional positions for white people. how has the position of white people gotten better since 2017

Everyone in any position of influence in the federal government that isn't white is being labeled a DEI hire and fired. Words related to the discussion of any issue not purtaining to white people have been labeled 'woke' and banned by government censors. The civil rights division of the Department of Justice no longer prevents discrimination against minorities. Instead the civil rights lawyers are being deployed with the goal of destroying minority groups in any manner possible.
