The alt-right is splitting in half, and white nationalists like Richard Spencer want it back


>WASHINGTON— In Washington, D.C., on Sunday, the so-called "alt-right" held two competing rallies led by different factions fighting over ownership of the movement and its message.

>At one rally were the media provocateurs and conspiracy theorists famous for interrupting Shakespeare plays and spreading anti-Democrat conspiracy theories, like Laura Loomer and Mike Cernovich. At the other were the hard-line nationalists like Richard Spencer who are sick of the fame-seeking, and want the group to get back to defending white identity and holding Trump accountable to his most far right base.

>At that second rally, held at the Lincoln Memorial, top white nationalist leaders proclaimed the difference between the alt-right and what they termed the "alt-light." The first, they said, wants political change.The latter is just glomming onto the movement for fame.

>Calling anyone a member of the "alt-right" is a minefield. The movement contains many factional ideologies, along with individuals who only espouse such beliefs as a means of causing upset. But for Spencer, one of the most visible leaders of the white nationalist bent of the alt-right movement, defining the alt right is simple: It's a movement that is building a home for white identity.
