Exclusionary notions of American national identity have been endemic since the country’s founding. Since the Culture Wars, they have returned with vengeance. One of their champions is a new generation of tech savvy activists known as the Alt-Right. This is a movement that embraces a vision of America that is unapologetically white and Christian supremacist, misogynistic and xenophobic. Rather than see the Alt-Right as an outlier, the authors of this book treat it as an integral part of an endemic battler over the articulation of American national identity. Critically, what distinguishes these cyber warriors from other far-right movements is their rhetorical style. Their far-right counterparts employ muscular rhetoric and demand the right to dominate. The Alt-Right, on the other hand, has opted for a weapons-of-the-weak strategy and accuses adversaries of persecuting them. Embracing a cult of victimhood, this shift in rhetorical tactic is not only a matter of gaslighting; its goal is to justify potential acts of violence.

The American nation has traditionally treated the Lost Cause as a singular phenomenon, a reactionary ideology built from the American South’s perceived victimhood following the Civil War. However, in the myth of the Lost Cause, generations of American far-right individuals and groups have found an ideological and practical model. This book makes two interconnected arguments. First, it argues that there is evidence of modern Confederate and Southern nationalist groups evolving and incorporating more targets into their grievance infrastructures—always in the language of victimhood. These targets progress as the status quo changes, keeping the perceived victimhood of the groups relevant as time passes and more traditionally marginalized communities contest for rights in the American experiment. The second argument is that through the politics and rhetoric of victimhood that find common cause with Trumpism, the Lost Cause remains relevant to conversations about the right’s perceived victimhood focused on a lost status quo ante—up to and including the two mythologies riding into battle together in defense of an electorally defeated president on January 6, 2021.
