The Right has always been keen to use boogiemen to scare people into submission. It's not a new tactic. It's been going on since the invention of the modern right wing. From Jim Crow-era south, to Chinese immigrants, to Irish, Italian, and Germans... Anarchists (here we go again), socialists, McCarthyism, and again back to "communists", muslims, and immigrants.
Always beware of someone trying to scare you of the "other", they're ALWAYS trying to sell you something, and it's never for your own personal interest. It's for their profits, their motives, and their interests. The alt-right isn't doing anything new. They're just re-hashing the same old tire, song-and-dance. It's amazing how many people still fall for that snake-oil sales pitch.
