I think something people tend to forget or ignore is that just because someone is racist, transphobic, or whatever doesn't mean they treat those people differently in real life. The left makes these people out to be the worst of the worst, card carrying KKK members. But that's not the truth. Mostly, everyone gets along. Everyone has their own opinions and they are entitled to them.

Before, I couldnt stand the right calling the left snowflakes and going on and on about how identity politics are bad. But now I understand how damaging identity politics is. It just serves to further divide people. And the SJWs screaming about whatever issue they decide to be offended about today is being a snowflake. It's being so mentally fragile you cant imagine two people who dont like each other can actually get along. It means you have a toddler fit just because people don't agree with your opinion.

I've said it before but I'll stress it again- modern standards make any male living before 1980 an alt-right neo nazi. It's not irrational or unfair to want one's country to be 90%+ its endemic homogenous ethnic group. Every other country outside of the West is allowed to practice this.

The "alt right" is growing rapidly because the overton window has shifted to ludicrous degrees and normal functional adults are now considered "alt right".

It's not the alt-right anymore, it's the average American, pretty much.
