Much of the "alt-right" narrative seems to revolve around embracing identity politics but siding with the outgroup in the left's version of the group-conflict story. The traditional right rejects that entire narrative. My perspective is that someone rooting for Darth Vader is still a Star Wars fan.
Another example is the economic thinking that has become pervasive in MAGA circles. Zero-sum thinking, arguments that sound like the LTV in all but name, support for tariffs, and a belief in centralized state intervention to perceived economic problems: "industrial policy" is bureacratic socialism in all but name.

Meanwhile, lots of people who see themselves this way are now embracing an "abundance agenda" that sounds a whole lot like a reframing of traditional conservative and libertarian economic arguments.
It's as though the whole political spectrum has been tossed into a food processor, and everything's mixed and matched every which way.
"Abundance agenda" arguments are market-oriented and focus on reducing political obstacles to economic development, rather than seeing the political state as the driving force behind economic development.
I'm kind of in the same boat as I don't agree with the identity politics, but I still count myself as left of centre.
