Ok, so let me understand this. Being right wing or conservative is the same as being alt-right?

No, but you seem pretty happy with the current situation, which is concerning.

I'm not even a leftist, but the new generation of conservative leaders are largely anti-intellectual autocrats. How are Orban, LePen, Duterte and Salvini promoting good ideas? Or is a Roma census a great plan?

Not even, i think the british ire on immigration is mostly aimed at the polish(not saying conservatives there are fond of brown people, i think its just not a mayor focus)
Not sure if you're British, but as a Brit myself this doesn't ring true to me, people like Tommy Robinson, the EDL and Britain First are all about hating Muslims first and foremost.

Don't play dumb. I know being an idiot is all the rage now for people who support the rise of fascism, but I would at least hope you understand your own words well enough to see what they imply.

Supporting the current administration in the United States of America makes you alt-right, yeah. Standing beside Trump is standing beside transphobia, misogyny, sexual assault and racism, to name a few.

From what I've observed, in America the distinction between "conservative" and "alt-right" isn't meaningful.

And you think that the right will cease to exist? LMAO, we are just rising, around the world btw.
The problem with your argument is that the only segment of the political right that's actually "rising" around the world is the far-right/alt-right.

Not conservatism. But rather, reactionary, regressive ethnic nationalism and dangerous elements of fascism.

This is not something to gloat about unless you either don't appreciate the distinction between the two, or you identify strongly yourself with this backwards-thinking blight.

That whole thing was bait, and he took it hook line and sinker. He could have easily turned this into a non-issue and blamed fake media with fake anonymous articles... but now he's set himself up to be perpetually paranoid, and all of his staffers will (knowingly or not) play into this.
Yeah.

Then the book was supposed to be fabrications. Everything since....sure doesn't seem like it...

He either doesn't have a PR person, or he's just that stupid. Or maybe the PR person just sucks at their job.

We will, as usual, fuck you guys up.

Violently if necessary. Not because we want to but because you force the world to. Because whenever you people rise up it is followed by violence and despair and needs to be fixed by more violence.

There doesn't seem to be much left to discuss over a one-word tweet, and people are antagonizing each other. This kind of back and forth needs to come to and end, and thus the topic is now closed. Thank you.
