Patriot Front is an American white supremacist and neo-fascist hate group that emerged from the broader alt-right movement. Led by Thomas Ryan Rousseau, the group espouses a version of white-centered ideology, advocating closed borders and authoritarian government. With an estimated 200 members in late 2021, the group has been linked to 82% of reported incidents involving distribution of racist, antisemitic, and other hateful propaganda in the United States. Patriot Front's activities are marked by attention-grabbing techniques, such as igniting smoke bombs during demonstrations, and its recruitment is primarily done online. The group's tightly choreographed demonstrations, literature, and acts of service are designed to maximize propaganda value. Despite its focus on theatrical rhetoric and activism, Patriot Front avoids discussing guns or violence online as a policy. Notably, the group has garnered attention for its use of patriotic imagery combined with fascist symbolism to broaden its appeal. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Patriot Front was arguably the leading white supremacist group in the country as of 2021 and the most active in using flyers for recruitment. The group's members are organized into eight regional networks, and their activities have included defacing racial justice murals as a requirement for members. Patriot Front has made headlines for its involvement in various incidents, including vandalizing protestors' tents and signs during an Occupy ICE protest in San Antonio, Texas, and posting racist and anti-immigrant signs and flyers in Boston, Massachusetts.
