Neo-fascism White nationalism
Patriot Front is a U.S.-based white nationalist and neo-fascist organization founded in August 2017. It organizes members into a coordinated, flash-mob-style structure for marches, banner drops, and propaganda distribution, and its own published manifesto describes American nationhood in explicitly ethnic terms. Members were separately convicted of conspiracy to riot in connection with a planned disruption of a 2022 Pride event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
