The Patriot Front

The Patriot Front is a fascist, American fascist group that is a split-off of Vanguard America during the Unite the Right rally in 2017. The group is known to use patriotic and other Americana symbolism especially the fasces which was a prominent symbol of the United States since its founding. The group was founded in August of 2017 by Thomas Rousseau and is considered by the left as a "Neo-Fascist" group.

Beliefs

The Patriot Front believes in afascist government and a forming a White-Ethnic group in the United States, as per quotes from the Patriot Front manifesto.

"Those of foreign birth may occupy civil status within the lands occupied by the state, and they may even be dutiful citizens, yet they may not be American. Membership within the American nation is inherited through blood, not ink. Even those born in America may yet be foreign...Nationhood cannot be bestowed upon those who are not of the founding stock of our people, and those who do not share the common spirit that permeates our greater civilization, and the European diaspora...In order to survive as a culture, a heritage, and a way of being, our nation must learn that its collective interests are fighting against its collective threats of replacement and enslavement...The damage done to this nation and its people will not be fixed if every issue requires the approval and blessing from the dysfunctional American democratic system. Democracy has failed in this once great nation."[1]

They believe in demolishing the democratic structure of the United States as-well as stopping the immigration crisis.

History

Thomas Rousseau founded the Patriot Front when he was a teenager after Rousseau had taken control of Vanguard America's website and Discord server several weeks before the "Unite the Right" rally. Rousseau participated in the rally as the leader of Vanguard America's contingent. Following the aftermath of the rally, Rousseau left Vanguard and formed the Patriot Front. Most of Patriot Front's members were former Vanguard members at the time.
