A term coined by members of the alt right and the right-wing media to try to draw parallels between Neo-Nazis/White supremacists on the one side and those who protest against them, sometimes violently. In contrast to "alt right," which was coined by the alt-righters themselves to mainstream themselves with a more legitimate-sounding title for their racist, anti-Semitic, misogynist agenda, the term "alt left" was coined by alt-righters in order to marginalize those who oppose them. "Alt left" seems to be an umbrella term currently thrown at everyone from Democrats, to people who speak out against racism, sexism, homophobia, and anti-Semitism, to those who call for anarchy and may even support that call with violence, in an effort to sideline them all.
If you are in favor of taking down a statue of a confederate war general, then you must be from the Alt Left.
