> anyone that is conservative, supports trump, and thinks the left has gone insane is labeled alt right

Given that anyone in the alt-right would likely have all three of these traits, it doesn't seem like an unfair assumption to jump to.

i am all three, there is nothing alt about me
Then why didn't you support a more traditional Republican candidate?

Trump was the alt-right candidate, his campaign was as much a repudiation of mainstream conservatism and Republicanism as anything else.

You can support the party even though you didn't support the representative being voted in.
