Outdated article

This article is in need of greater coverage of the alt-right post 2018 and/or an explanation of how far-right streams moved past the Alt-right and came into different incarnations or terms to describe themselves. While it does mention that the alt-right has declined since the Unite the Right rally, it makes it seem as if neo-Nazism has petered out in America entirely with no mention of what succeeded it.

Anyone paying attention knows that although Richard Spencer and people like Kessler aren't the most popular anymore, there still is far-right violence and groups around America that grapple the nation. This article is in need of expansion that either describes the alt-right as having either morphed into different strands (e.g. groypers, lone-wolf neo-nazi terrorists, QAnon types) or having been succeeded by them entirely. Either way, this article can't simply just talk about things that happened over 5 years ago at this point. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 00:09, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

The term "Islamophobic" is definitionally contested, and therefore not an objective descriptor. This should be reworded for objectivity.

Alt-Right is atheist?
