Made Trump win?

A neo liberal group?

Or a libertarian group?

The phrase alt left is used in common meaning as those who followed Bernie. But it's also those who believe FDR. Those who fight for equal rights for all groups.

If what you mean is people who voted third party or for Trump for racist reasons they are either neo liberal or libertarian depending on why they did so. Not alt left which is a slur against progressive democrats.
