Proud Boys is a fraternity/brotherhood that was created as an alternative to antifa. They don’t start fights but will end it.
My experience has been nothing but positive.
I know it sounds ghey. But they are nothing close.
They are stand up Trump loving patriots.

Blame Tucker if you like, but even if Proud Boys is everything you claim, the group has the worst PR in the world. Perception becomes reality.
So they mirror Antifa? Antifa starts fights, Proud Boys ends fights. Just great, both violent, at least in intent. At least while Antifa is seen as a terrorist group, so far not so for Proud Boys. But difficult to see the difference since they mirror each other.
