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?

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.

At some point I'm going to start believing that we're clashing with another dimension where this shit actually happened because what the fuck are you on about. In what version of earth was the alt right movement defeated??? Lmaoo
