[FONT=&]"I can't get over how rapidly this has come alive," Parrott said, attributing the surge in interest to Trump. Heimbach described the Republican nominee as a "gateway drug" to white nationalism. "We're all growing and using this momentum," he said.

[FONT=&]In the broadest sense, the alt-right is a populist revolt against the political establishment. Alt-righters are mostly young white men who are angry about income inequality, poor job prospects, PC culture, crumbling social welfare programs and war. They come from Pat Buchanan's nativist paleoconservatism, Ron Paul's libertarianism, the rape-y Manosphere, the Gamergate underground, and other subcultures. Along the way, they feed off disinformation and conspiracy theories that have gained credence thanks in no small measure to Republican efforts to demonize journalism, science and what Karl Rove is believed to have dismissed as the "reality-based community." This journey is called being "red-pilled," a reference to the main character's choice in "The Matrix" to swallow a red pill that shows him the horror of his enslaved reality or a blue pill that lets him remain blissfully unaware.[/FONT]

The horrifying truth the red pill supposedly reveals is that we inhabit a country in the throes of a "white genocide" driven by immigration policies. Some, like Spencer, dress up these notions with palaver about preserving identity and Western culture. Others lace up jackboots. Either way, there is nothing ambiguous about their beliefs. These are unabashed racists who think that blacks, Hispanics and Arabs are congenitally stupid and violent. Most are virulently anti-Semitic. Many are self-identified fascists.[/FONT]
