How large a force is the alt-right? Is media coverage blowing them out of proportion? There is a lot of coverage of the alt-right, but no particular information on how many people buy into it, or how much of a force it really is. My guess is that the coverage of it is far more of a force in the opposite direction, but I don't know. 

In arguments saying that it is powerful, people cite Steve Bannon (I have done so myself) but the more I look into him the thinner the case for him being alt-right becomes (He is certainly far right)
