    Republicans weren't the slightest bit "alt-right" until after the insane rioting in 2020 made them think we need it. But even now it's not all of them.

      "Far right" is libertarian or anarchist, which is why fascism is "alternative" right. It's not really right at all, the only point of similarity is some shared cultural values with a large group of religious right-wingers. They existed before 2020 but were a very fringe group, and Republicans were not at all fond of them.

        racist voting regulation, send all illegal immigrants back home

        I'm pretty sure libertarian and anachist groups don't want that, and none of them except the alt-right want the first one, and they're usually Democrats anyway.

        small government, deregulation, lower taxes, no gun laws, no more affirmative action

        That's good.

        You're mistaken if you think the GOP if for the 1%. The 1% gets power and money by sucking up to the government and getting regulations passed in their favor. Without them the 99% would be a threat to the elite 1%. That's why all the ultra-wealthy people and mega-corporations vote Democrat.
