      The phrase was coined as a catch-all for the people further right than Trump in 2016ish, but everyone associated with the term distanced themselves from it after the Charlottesville demonstration spooked all of the country’s normies.

      It’s a dogshit term that only ever existed for fascists to claim ignorance. Every right winger should be considered a fascist and a nazi at this point in time.

      Back in like 2015 card-carrying fascists were considered the “alternative” to the establishment Neocon Right. But they’ve been fully integrated for years now. And it’s always been more clear just to call them white supremacists, neo-Nazis, etc.
