If the Feds were inventing a fantasy false flag group wouldn't they be pretending to be Nazi's or KKK, and carry swastika flags or wear KKK regalia and have signs with rudely offensive slogans?
If this is an "agent provocateur" group it is the mildest one ever fielded.
Everyone knows the KKK and Nazis don’t rally anymore. The right really aren’t racists and so no one would believe it (other than the SPLC) if they were to suddenly re-emerge.
The Proud Boys were the closest thing the right had as an organized counter to the left’s street fighters and they appear to be busted up. But the left will always need a boogeyman and I’d say Patriot Front fits their bill.
It doesn’t have to be effective. It just has to be something they can point to. They strike me as the Washington Senators to the Left’s Harlem Globetrotters.
Just my opinion.
