Good point, but I think part of the problem is that some people are champing at the bit to call someone alt-right or facist when that person does something that they don't like or doesn't align with their own views. (Even if those views are relatively tame compared to what the pure definition of alt-right or facist is.

People are getting increasingly segmented into their own belief systems and are un-willing to even slightly concede to differing opinions, or aren't willing to even associate with people who believe in different things.

Seems like religion is phasing out of style and political beliefs are becoming the new religion.
