I examine the history of the internet and the ways in which the histories of the alt-right and of the internet overlap, the rise of the alt-right and its characteristics, and its online platforms and terminology. Then, I delve into the moments when the alt-right became publicly visible, namely in the aftermath of the election of Donald Trump and the events in Charlottesville in 2017. The alt-right now occupies space both online and offline. Increasingly, the alt-right has been a part of mainstream culture and politics through its interactions with President Trump and his administration, by hosting rallies and protests, and by claiming popular phrases and icons. Finally, I make predictions about the sustainability of the movement based on my research about its trajectory and what the alt-right looks like today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst490li\/section-i-the-alt-right-and-the-internet\/\">Begin Reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This site is the result of an independent study that focuses on the alt-right, a white nationalist political movement that has entered the national stage&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst490li\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">About the Research<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2180,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"coauthors":[65589],"class_list":["post-11","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst490li\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst490li\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst490li\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst490li\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst490li\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst490li\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst490li\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/ldst490li\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
