   • 2019, Alon Feuerwerker, Brasil em capítulos: Um olhar sobre a política, do impeachment às eleições de 2018, Imprimatur, page 429:

     Mas se o nome do PSDB fosse de direita raiz, e não nutella, é razoável supor que seria mais competitivo e as bancadas não sofreriam tanto.

     But if the Brazilian Social Democratic Party had had a traditional right-wing name, rather than an alt-lite name, it is reasonable to assume that it would have been more competitive and that their representatives would not have suffered so much.

   1. (of a person) fussy, spoiled
   2. (of a person or practice) poseurish, pretentious
   3. (of a person, practice or object) illegitimate, inauthentic
   4. (of a practice, ideology, symbol or similar) lite, watered-down

Usage notes

When describing people, this term is usually used in reference to a group of people (such as an age group, a profession or a class of family members) rather than an individual, and it is usually compared with a raiz (“roots; traditional, true”) counterpart, which is authentic, time-honoured and unobjectionable.
