The 2016 presidential election introduced America to the alt-right. What is it, where did they come from, who are they, and is it still a thing? This week we talk to George Hawley, a University of Alabama political scientist, and the author of Making Sense of the Alt-Right and other books on right-wing dissidents in America. George patiently answers our questions as we try to understand how the alt-right figures into both the history of domestic extremist groups and right-wing politics more broadly, both in the United States and abroad.
