A schism was fairly inevitable. The alt-right is comprised of a lot of normal folks who've been marginalized by the Obama administration and feel as though their country couldn't care less. For example, white working class men. These groups are going to form a new type of conservatism focusing on protectionism, American nationalism (not white nationalism), etc.

Other parts of the alt-right are comprised of white nationalists, anti-Semites, and outright racists. That is, fringe groups and people whom political parties don't want to be associated with. The media unduly focuses on the more unsavory side of the alt-right while ignoring that a huge number of the alt-right couldn't give less of a fuck about white nationalism or anti-Semitism.

This is wrong in my honest opinion

Moreover the radical side is what pushed things along, the hanger-ons were just that tbh.
