The whole phenomenon of 4chan's rise in notoriety as well as the alt-right's is a really fascinating one. 4chan is a vehemently misunderstood place in my opinion and there are so many goddamn misconceptions about the place, even the dreaded /pol/ that it's hard to even talk about without being written off completely. To really discuss 4chan and Trump asa topic you have to come across the different techniques that have been put to use on /pol/ as well as having at least basic knowledge about "meme magic". A lot of the time the place genuinely does feel like a cartoon world or some alternate dimension put inside of a specific board.
The alt right is completely different phenomenon and has so many definitions I don't even know where to start. All I know is that /pol/ is only home to a couple types of the "alt-right".
