That would be nice, but I think expulsion like the Spanish did the the Moors is more realistic.

“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
The thing is, liberals are applying that label, well, liberally. Not everyone who identifies as conservative, or even the vast majority of Trump supporters for that matter, identifies with, associates with or agrees with Richard Spencer. When you call everyone you disagree with Nazis, or you replace the word Nazi with Alt-right but still mean Nazi, you're removing the ability of people to disagree with both you and assholes like Spencer. Just in case you were wondering, when you're accusing someone of being evil, they begin to sympathize with everyone you're calling evil, not with you.
@Gilrak always pulls through for me. Love you babe!
I believe the Alternative Right is so named as a reference to the fact that while the Right wing of American politics has traditionally been associated with such things as policies designed to disenfranchise minorities, the civil war, etc most of their Politicians will at least play lip service to equality if only just barely. A side effect of this is that while I'm fairly certain most republicans aren't actually particularly racist, they are kept afloat as a party by the support of people who mostly vote for the sake of racism/sexism/jesus or whatever other super important thing they believe in that minorities apparently don't.
The Alternative Right then, is essentially this subgroup of racists who've finally decided that the pseudo prejudices of the republican party aren't enough for them anymore, and want to bring race (specifically theirs, and why its super important compared to yours) to the forefront of party politics. Hence, the 'Alternative Right'. Racist Right Wingers who dislike the fact theyve been strung along with 'kind of' racist policies for all these years from a party that will just as soon tell their groups to suck a D post election as anything else.
Again. I can't emphasize enough that I'm fairly certain a large number of Right Wingers aren't really racist - But anyone paying attention would have to be blind or a moron not to accept that the party is definitely powered by a fair amount of support from people of that stripe.
Why do I think that's code for something else.Went undercover
[QUOTE=Gilrak;47375130]As fun as the burning the US flag is, why are you calling them alt-left?/QUOTE]
mostly because it makes them mad, and there are democrats in this country that haven't gone stupid and started shrieking "NAZI!" at anyone who disagrees with them.

Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, also the Civil rights movement was assisted by Republicans, and led by Republican Martin Luther King. The Ku Klux Klan was also the violent arm of the Democrats when it was created to force the new black voters to vote for Democrats.

Of course people are pretending that. When a very important part of your pathetic life is to make a country you actually have no first hand knowledge of look like you presentation to other no lifers with a similar opinion then they will do just about anything to make it come true. I mean outside of a few spots were large protests are staged for one side or the other and then the other side counters with an anti-protest it is next to non-existent. Do you have a few random nut jobs? Always. But when I am walking down my city street to go eat some lunch do I run into people preaching Communism or Nazism? LUL, no.
I am sitting here eatting bacon, eggs, and toast. No bullets flying though the house. No police beating up people outside. No Nazi or Commie flag burning going on outside. My kid is taking calculus in high school. That is real America. It isn't perfect and bad shit does happen but it isn't what we all live with every day and a lot of people never see it once. That is the simple truth. I don't like Fox News but I get the feeling a lot of people here get their information from a similar echo chamber that preaches what they want to hear about an America on fire and the collapse of society. Just isn't happening. We just have a dumb fuck president. With some dumb fuck people in government that are agenda driven instead of people driven. Been though it before and we will get though it again. Just like these pretending people will too.
Who cares its emty words, are people really buying into thinking that would happen, relax guys its not good for the heart.
We have police taking care of stuff like that.
....and they claimed fear mongering was something only the right engaged in.

Total racial diversity is not the same thing as proportion of african-americans. The south-east tends towards higher proportions of african-americans than most other regions for reasons that should be obvious. It also depends heavily on what part of the state you are in. There are counties in alabama that are 80% black, New Jersey has no where even remotely close to that.
