There are self-identified alt-righters who are not anti-Semites. Jared Taylor is a well-known example. The main difference between the alt-right and the alt-lite is that the alt-right openly espouses some form of ethno-nationalism or white identity politics, while the alt-lite tries to hide their ethno-nationalist instincts behind a vague façade of libertarianism or civic nationalism. Some in the alt-lite are not even self-aware enough to recognize their own quasi-white nationalist instincts, but they are definitely there.

In short, the difference is self-awareness.

Shows how disinterested I am becoming in politics lately, but I have never heard or seen anyone refer to the "Alt-Lite" besides Sanchez on this site.
Interesting that you’re only becoming ‘disinterested’ at a time when your party’s is ing everything up
That is white privilege.
