Many traditional conservatives, like myself, believe that the alt-right was created by the extreme views of the left.  Since the late '60s, the left has worked very hard at denigrating and changing the traditional mores and the culture many Americans have held dear. Therefore, many blue-collar, working class, "white ethnic" Democrats and Republicans through out the South and Midwest  have turned to the alt-right for answers as they have watched the slow obliteration of their cherished ideals. Many things in our culture needed reformation: Minorities, women, and gays deserved their rights, but at the same time, these hard-working Americans, aforementioned above, should not have been required to pay the bills for, or suffer due to,  leftist projects: welfare, Medicaid, race-based affirmative action, illegal immigration, etc.
Although I believe in minority, women's, and gay rights, I do not believe that our cultural values should be decimated and our government should grow out of control.
