I agree and you're right, there isn't. When some people start calling him a racist bigot who's going to do terrible things to poor disadvantaged people, casting him as the perfect villain and his supporters as much the same, that's what I was talking about.

Okay, but just recognize that that these people don't necessarily see that conflict the way you do, notwithstanding that you seem to think it's a simple fact.

Okay, I'm just genuinely curious because to me, the alt right doesn't even seem to have a coherent goal or world view other than "burn it all to the ground and laugh".

When I was 17 I legitimately thought she was possibly the worst person on Earth. Now I recognize it for the over-the-top schtick that it is. Again, not that different than what I see from much of the alt right these days. She's made a decent living off of acting horribly.
Fair enough. I think you are missing the level to which people in the US, especially in the south, are sympathizers to Trump's message. I wish Canadians could spend an election cycle down here to really understand how broken the process and the people have become. It is fascinating to say the least.
