It's not an alt-right thing either.
It's really in the middle, and it's saying "uhhh, wait a minute now".
You hear very little of this under people's real names right now, as the mob is an extremely intimidating force.
Though you do hear it a lot on forums such as this one, given that we are anonymous.
But it's very noteworthy that almost no one with any authority is willing to say that in front of a microphone right now.
It's not because they're more morally virtuous or enlightened than we are. It's because they are afraid of the mob.

Every now and then I'm sorely tempted to engage my hectoring Facebook "friends" in discussion about this, but I always take a deep breath, push back from my desk, and say "— it, it's not worth it."
