Alt-right
I hate the term "alt-right" - that seems to have become increasingly prevalent in the media. Why don't we call a spade a spade - "alt-right" is just an "acceptable" euphemism for Nazism. It's a term that is sadly only going to become more common under President Trump - where unpleasant traits like racism, sexism and homophobia are celebrated rather than condoned, and when suddenly it is acceptable to express these beliefs. It is sad that I now live in a country where people (predominantly white, male, middle-America) are proud and not shy about saying they belong to the "alt-right" - that is not a sign of a progressive country.
