I'm for calling them alt-Americans

They live in an alt-universe, want alt-government and cling to their alt-facts. Why not? Their alt-Constitution should have one line in it. The Second amendment. Why confuse them with facts, when they can just make up shit as they go? It’s so much more funner that way.

They want a President for life and they want a pasty white population, but they also love their orange hued fella because they love the stain of Cheetos ‘cause it isn’t natural food. They hate all that ‘natural’ stuff like clean air and not polluted things. They are happy with slimy chemicals in rivers and oil sheen on oceans and floating plastic islands. The idea of keeping out invading brown babies through violence is really sexy and if they ever want to expand their one sentence Constitution it would be to add sexy stuff like that.

They’re devoted to their alt-Jesus who carries an AK 45, hates the gays, and orders them to suffer the children. It makes them feel potent as hell!

They should have a whole new genus name. Any ideas? How about homotrumpasses?

Rather, a nation whose sharp divisions exacerbated by conventional media have been artificially deepened by modern social media.

All driven by money. We keep letting money tell us what to do, think and feel.

It’s truly mind boggling!

How can this be real? It’s like being stuck in a really weird movie that has no plot other than how stupid can you get and how low can you go.

They hate and are seeking to destroy everything this country was built on: the rule of law, the Constitution, and the idea that no one is above the reach--or beneath the protection--of the law.

do you think there is some way we could bring down FoX propaganda down, I was listening to Randi and she played a woman reporter who said these words not exactly but if you don't like trump (sick) policies there are other countries to live.

Instead of focusing on SHS can't we possibly focus on Fox News??? It is a tall order, but can we slay the hand of the serpent?

I wondered if there had been any comic books where Alt-Superman made an appearance. Googled it and discovered a fascinating fact: The alt-right hates Superman because he helps immigrants. They identify with Lex Luther. Honestly, you can't make this stuff up!
