The non-racists. There are plenty of people who think of themselves as 'alt-right' but aren't racist. Just as there are many who would say that they are anti-fascists, but don't support Antifa.

Richard Spencer popularized the term Alt-Right to define his version of White Supremacy.

Weren't you the one arguing that Marx and the common beliefs of communism weren't necessarily the same?

For example?

Most of the people that the media label alt-right. It started out as a term used by racists, then the media slapped it on anyone that they wanted to dismiss, and the term exploded as a description of non-religious social libertarian and economically conservative person. Then the media tried to play it up that ALL of them were racist and it, along with the identity politics that the progressives have been obsessing over, emboldened the actual Nazis.

Because they aren't, if you have something against I said, please go to the actual Thread. And in the Context of what I said, It was correct.

"description of non-religious social libertarian and economically conservative person."
That never happened. The Alt-Right are White Nationalists.

"Then the media tried to play it up that ALL of them were racist and it, along with the identity politics that the progressives have been obsessing over, emboldened the actual Nazis."

Yes Trump did in fact embolden the Racists and Nazis.

"then the media slapped it on anyone that they wanted to dismiss"
Some might have but the majority had a good argument as to why.

The worrying thing is how effortlessly they slip into it, as though they don't see the problem with this whole Nazi thing, that whole Holocaust thing isn't such a big deal and they've just been playing along as the done social thing

They don't. It's just us vs. them, right vs. left. Nazis and white supremacists are right wing entities? Then we need to at least diminish how bad they are, and make people who hate bigotry and injustice even worse.

It clearly was about white supremacists.

You clearly missed it.

The President was speaking of the people who came to protest the removal of a statue. Some were National Socialist and some were not.

The President was speaking of the ones that were not members of the National Socialist Party.

False, if he was he would specify. He's Donald Trump he calls it out like it is.
Also the vast majority of people that were there were the Nazi's KKK and White Supremacists they Organized the day before to go there.

And also what members were not members of the Nazi's White Supremacists and the KKK? They were marching the day before the Anti-Protests Jews will not replace us and Blood and Soil.

No he didn't. He said Both Sides had Good people in referencing the Racist Protesters and you're telling me he was talking about a small Minority of supposed Non White-Supremacist, KKK, or Nazis who were at the rally?

We can go on like this forever. The President stated as I said, the press screamed and shouted him down then spent three days reporting so.

Both sides of what?

That's the key. What is the context of the comment.

And the context wasn't white supremacist
THis where you wrong. Trump talking about march.

If person comes and sees march with Nazi salute and march with Nazi flag and march with Nazi chant and march with KKK flag and march with KKK torch and person joins march person is NOT "very fine people".

Is very simple "Very Fine People" NOT march with Nazis and KKK. If people march with Nazis and KKK are NOT "very fine people".

But marched and protested with the Nazis without issue?

And you are wrong. The press was just questioning Trump not shouting him down.

John F. Kelley reportedly also begged Donald Trump to make his second speech to denounce the KKK, Nazis and White Supremacists (Trump Clearly Didn't Want to). But apparently facts don't matter anymore so it's pointless to point that out as it seems you are unable to discern that Trump sympathizes with the Nazi's, KKK, and the White Supremacists.
