Why yes there is an end.
It’s when you Realize that the “Alt-right extremists” and their “Brainwashed pipeline followers” aren’t going to do anything. They’re just gonna sit around in their little discord ‘safe spaces’ whilst those who live up on the “Moral Highground” continue to talk about them as if they’re gonna take over the world.

Actually, the republicans have started to take action, more than they did when Trump was in office.

No. Alt-right is used to define republicans, but republicans are nowhere close to fascist fascists. They are wannabes of hypernationalism. However, they are right-wing.

- Used to consider myself a conservative from approximately 2017 to 2018, when I was around 13. Though I say this "ended" in 2018, It was not a rapid shift from conservative to the beliefs I hold now, it was (as with most people) a gradual process.
- The furthest I ever went down the alt-right pipeline was James Allsup. I also remember regularly watching PragerU and reading Conservapedia unironically (though I still read Wikipedia; I treated Conservapedia as more of a political blog/manifesto website).
- Some other stuff might come back to me eventually, but with hindsight I feel like I could've been a whole lot worse.
Overall, I don't know if you'd classify me as "a survivor of the alt-right pipeline" (maybe more as "teenager in their internet conservative phase"), but I felt it was important to share.

Right wingers are objectively more funny, that's the main thing. They appeal more to the rebellious side of people, primarily those who feel like their existence disagrees with the status quo, the normative values, whatever the hell, of society. you feel like you're involved in the truth i guess.
Also all of your political enemies become cartoon characters so you lack empathy for them (this is actually how people in a state of rage view others).

It's funny that it was once the left-wing who was like that.

Alt-Right sounds extremely stupid and misleading. No idea why you people up on the Moral high ground use it if they’re “Wannabes”
Also what’s wrong with them being Right-wing? Is it a problem that there is a Right and Left in politics?

As a gay man, I've had more insults bore towards me from left-minded individuals than anyone associated as a centrist or right-leaning. I've met very few individuals who could be called right-wing extremists, but these individuals were normal around the time I grew up so their mannerisms and way of life do not alarm me. They also do not insult nor challenge me for being a different sexual lifestyle, if asked at all.
I'm not sure if it's because of being a Libertarian that I'm unable to see what the fuss is about with these extremists groups, defined normally as "right-wing" or "alt-right". I definitely don't concur or agree with the right-wing teachings most of the time, but I also don't mind discussing them as most of those groups are tolerable and have some manner of respect for debate. I've had a heck of a time even chancing a debate in left-wing groups. Whenever I'd ever suggest something counter or contrary to a popular notion, I would be the one labeled as the outcast or extremist. I've also been called some very offense language and my own sexual orientation challenged because of it.
That's not to say I don't read the stories concerning individuals who have claimed to be berated or harmed by right-wing groups. My sympathies to them. I, personally, have never experienced such treatment.
