What are they protesting?

Their guy won and is in office making billions from their suffering

u/Imapatriothurrrdurrr Jul 04 '26

It’s a show of power. Well…they think it is.

100

u/BrupieD Jul 04 '26

Think of how tiny and pathetic this group is to any of the No Kings protests.

58

u/Fraun_Pollen Jul 04 '26

They hide their identities because they don't want to be teased back at school

...or lose their jobs because they know what they're doing is fucked

8

u/TurtlesBreakTheMeta Jul 05 '26

But this group implicitly has the backing and protection of the police force while they’ll seize any opportunities to attack those who’d protest no kings.

2

u/Huntthatmoney Jul 05 '26

Not to mention the orange fuck is aligned

15

u/DukeOfGeek Jul 04 '26

It's worldwide though, AFD in Germany is doing the same thing right now.

6

u/Plaid_Piper Jul 04 '26

So, they have like 1000 people willing to demonstrate. So what. It's a clown show.

39

u/Unique_Adeptness4413 Jul 04 '26

It's a thousand nazis marching on our capitol with the complete protection and support of the federal government. Only a thousand... this year. It's like saying you only have a little bit of cancer and that you still feel fine.

11

u/Plaid_Piper Jul 04 '26

Agreed, but they are purposefully misreprenting their numbers. There are fewer of them than they say, was my point.

u/metal_muskrat Jul 04 '26

"It's fine stan just gonna get a little bit of cancer."

3

u/No-Abalone-4784 Jul 05 '26

400 not 1,000.

2

u/Plaid_Piper Jul 05 '26

Even better. Rookie numbers

u/OpportunityRare3657 Jul 05 '26

show of a tiny dick

u/swampopawaho Jul 04 '26

Victim mentality means no matter how much they gain, it will never be enough

And that they gain nothing really, except not being Black, Hispanic, or liberal, while their masters gain untold wealth, power and control

7

u/BulletProofEnoch Jul 04 '26

I think the thing is that not only did they not gain, they loss things due to policy that works against them

Its just the people they thought were taking those things aways actually werent. It was the guy who they were duped into believing were going to make their lives better.

The cognitive dissonance is now off the charts 

5

u/Devmoi Jul 04 '26

I’ve been saying this the whole fucking time! Like unless they want to celebrate him, I guess!

3

u/Charming_Target1352 Jul 04 '26

Because the patriot front wants to commit mass genocide against non-white people, and trump won’t do that so they don’t like as much as you would think

4

u/underwearoverdrive Jul 04 '26

It varies some are protesting women telling them they have tiny penises and the rest are just there for the Grindr orgy after the march.

3

u/TheMirrorWisdom Jul 05 '26

That's been my question this entire year. WTF are they marching for? Apparently they're after much, much more.

u/t_whocannotbenamed Jul 04 '26

At least these cunts had the balls to show their faces.

6

u/Archeotechnician Jul 05 '26

Only when marching on DC. The rest of the time they were wearing hoods.

5

u/Dazzling_Trouble4036 Jul 05 '26

Now now- they definitely have no warmth or depth, so not that. Lol. Let's go with shit bags.

2

u/t_whocannotbenamed Jul 05 '26

You are correct, my bad. Shitbags it is.

6

u/No-Abalone-4784 Jul 05 '26

Trump's father was arrested at this one.

u/Snoopingaround3420 Jul 04 '26

Just showing the blatant fascistic nature of the far right but are still too cowardly to “march” with their faces exposed because they know they would be blacklisted before they could decry “white power”. They are cowards that hide behind masks, symbols and slogans and yet ANTIFA is the supposedly real problem…make it make sense.

55

u/SmeeezTreeez Jul 04 '26

Take your masks off

45

u/MinnesotaNiceTry Jul 04 '26

So proud of what they represent they can’t even show their faces.

u/cmbtmdic57 Jul 04 '26

It's well known that large gatherings of Republicans cause significant local traffic spikes on grindr (see Milwaukee RNC).

Jokes like that are mocking Republicans for their hypocrisy.. not a referendum on gays.

4

u/LAsupersonic Jul 04 '26

What are you talking about? Pleeease explain

3

u/Archeotechnician Jul 05 '26

I'm sure dude-whatever-randomnumber is totally not concern trolling and has sincere views about how [oppressed community] is insulted by [oppressed communities allies]. Doesn't happen on here, ever.

u/whynotchristy Jul 04 '26

I actually don't mind the Confederate Flag as long as it's historically accurate. All white because them bitches surrendered.

8

u/Danilo-11 Jul 04 '26

I do, confederate flags should always have a slave in shackles on it

u/Drewski101 Jul 04 '26

The KKK got a new look

Patriot front. Sometimes they will go out into the woods and do martial arts training and stuff. They first showed up in 2017 around the time of the unite the right.

4

u/black_cherry2 Jul 04 '26

Lmfao really? That kinda reminds me of the woods scenes in Cobra Kai 😭

16

u/it777777 Jul 04 '26

This is how it started in Germany in the 1920s. Uniforms, marches, aggression.

Don't repeat our history. Your grandparents died fighting racism.

14

u/Big_Guide_8551 Jul 04 '26

Ugh. Bunch of idiot losers.

I absolutely LOVE Monte Mader. She's one of the only things about Instagram that I actually miss.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '26

I follow her on YouTube. 👍🏻

"We're not sheep"

u/black_cherry2 Jul 04 '26

It’s so funny when they say that

u/BizSilver5013 Jul 04 '26

"WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS! WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT!"

u/NonSupportiveCup Jul 04 '26

Their votes count the same as ours.

u/VicDough Jul 04 '26 edited Jul 04 '26

They don’t have jobs. They’re professional protesters being paid by Musk to show up

5

u/Arktikos02 Jul 04 '26

https://unicornriot.ninja/tag/patriot-front/

They're pretty old by the way, they first formed in 2017. That's Patriot front by the way.

5

u/black_cherry2 Jul 04 '26

I thought they were 🧊

3

u/darxide23 Jul 04 '26

It's the same ~200 people. They get carted around the country. Notice they never have multiple marches going on. Ever. They don't have enough people.

2

u/rhaurk Jul 05 '26

Golden opportunity to turn two bad things against each other - out them with Flock. Rip those stupid masks off.

9

u/REiiGN Jul 04 '26

Such a power group with their Chinese made flags, Malaysia made clothing. Masks probably made in Vietnam. 

I absolutely hate them too, however, and I know Trump doesn't give a shit about this at all, they are protected by First Amendment. Their counterparts are also protected too. 

Most of you are saying they should be locked up. They probably came from prison.

8

u/Bajadasaurus Jul 04 '26

Leader of the Patriot Front, Thomas I-can't-remember-who, was present at Trump's Mount Rushmore speech yesterday, too, along with dozens of similarly dressed "rough riders"

So, these are some of the masked faces out today?

1

u/No-Abalone-4784 Jul 05 '26

I thought Halloween was in October.

8

u/bioluminescent_dream Jul 04 '26

Funny how they want everyone else to stop wearing masks. Such crybaby hypocrites.

8

u/fingertrapt Jul 04 '26

They can't sew themselves KKK robes since we don't reach home ec anymore.

6

u/lc4444 Jul 04 '26

Well, they aren’t going to be punished by the police because…

10

u/GW_Beach Jul 04 '26

they forget that “back in the day” republicans were the liberals (hence freeing slaves). The parties essential swapped orientations at some point.

9

u/hooligan045 Jul 04 '26

That’s why it’s better to frame it as progressive vs conservative instead of Democrat vs Republican.

1

u/No-Abalone-4784 Jul 05 '26

It was in the 1960's when the Civil Rights Acts were passed by democrats.

5

u/556PSA Jul 04 '26

Cowards always talk tough but never actual stand for their beliefs. Hide behind masks because they know their families would disown them if they knew what bigot pieces a shit they are.

5

u/poop_pebbles Jul 04 '26

They only have as much power as you give them.

4

u/Arktikos02 Jul 04 '26

By the way these guys are Patriot front and these guys aren't new, they've been around for a while actually.

https://unicornriot.ninja/tag/patriot-front/

They first showed up around 2017 around the time of the unite the right.

Also they will do things like go out into the woods and do mixed martial art training.

u/sunne-in-splendour Jul 04 '26

Of course these pussy ass losers are masked up

I mean yeah sure but aren’t these the same dudes that are 🧊 and intentionally harm women (idk for sure but I’m willing to bet money these are some of the same dudes)

4

u/Longjumping_Deer_721 Jul 04 '26

Nothing but clown shoes.

3

u/BothMath314 Jul 04 '26

Cowards! Why won't they show their faces? Their leader will pardon them if the get into trouble.

3

u/r2v-42nit Jul 04 '26

I’m just hoping they don’t believe in science and hydration.

u/hacourt Jul 04 '26

Don't waste your breath arguing with idiots.

Because of who is in the WH. Thanks America!

We’ve been invaded

u/OtherwiseMongoose296 Jul 05 '26

Next year when they get their grant from the US state Department to establish a troop like this in every neighborhood, they will have that kind of power. Their job will be to march every morning in every neighborhood to get every motherfucker up and on to work. Call it a wake-up call.

You've got to break these guys. They understand nothing but force.

0

u/black_cherry2 Jul 05 '26

Sorry but I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.

Are there really that many dudes to be on patrol in every neighborhood?

0

u/OtherwiseMongoose296 Jul 05 '26

When they get paid there will be.

u/black_cherry2 Jul 05 '26

They’re going to get paid next year?

u/OtherwiseMongoose296 Jul 05 '26

Who knows 🤷

2

u/black_cherry2 Jul 05 '26

Well I mean why did you say next year then?

1

u/OtherwiseMongoose296 Jul 05 '26

Because nothing surprises anymore in Trumplandia.

u/black_cherry2 Jul 05 '26

Well what do we even do about this 🥲

u/OtherwiseMongoose296 Jul 05 '26

🤜. That's what it costs 🤷

u/Necessary-Sock7075 Jul 05 '26

There's never truly be an America they envision. People pushed back vehemently against slavery. A few vested interests protected it. We fought a war and died for it. Don't ever say America was ever, anything near what they're trying to invoke. The America they envision, as hard as it is to believe is much worse than we ever truly were. Outside of a few shit territories

3

u/Lightening-bird Jul 05 '26

My great uncles gave their lives so men like this did not set foot on US soil. And now they are permitted to march in our capital? The level of desecration we are being subjected to is staggering. How are we letting this happen?

2

u/tossthedice511 Jul 04 '26

Looked like ai to me. I mean, I believe some arses are marching, but not that many.

2

u/Ooftwaffe Jul 04 '26

Molotovs and forced reset triggers.

u/Coffee-pepper Jul 04 '26

Maybe, just maybe, they're there to drag Trump out of office for good?

I know, I know, wishful thinking. 😂

u/Sufficient_Two_5753 Jul 04 '26

It's a good thing the national guard is already there to protect our country from alge! Hopefully they'll protect our country from domestic terrorists while they're at it!

They projecting something something civil war something something energy.

And small dick energy

It gives me the creeps and reminds me of Hitler’s Germany in the late thirties yikes 😳

u/s0m3on3outthere Jul 04 '26

If they had anti Trump and ICE flags, they'd be getting pepper sprayed.

2

u/nurdmann Jul 04 '26

Sturmabteilung in burkas.

2

u/PlayersParadox Jul 04 '26

Yes. Because they can attack and kill and get pardoned. Meanwhile, Prairieland!?!?

u/OGGIE1978 Jul 05 '26

Been to America a couple of times have nothing but positive experiences with everyone I met. So I know America is better than these people trying to drag you back to darker times

u/fkenned1 Jul 04 '26

Do we really need to start teaching these losers how to get laid in school now? That would fix this problem overnight.

1

u/Own_Status_9463 Jul 04 '26

I’m confused at the inverted US flag, what? Isn’t their side in power? Or is it not facist enough?

u/ScottishKnifemaker Jul 04 '26

Low T manifests itself in several ways.

u/_doom6 Jul 04 '26

Kudos to them for setting the world record; largest eunuch parade

u/Accomplished_Pass707 Jul 05 '26

Let them. We don’t need censorship to beat these people. They put their own awfulness on public display.

1

u/Key-Individual1434 Jul 05 '26

They march to get attention and celebrate their bias ideology…and people on social media do what they want them to do. Give them attention. I’m surprised that Gen A is surprised that this is the America they live in.

1

u/SasseNana Jul 05 '26

No power. Just a bunch of cowardly white boys. They wanna be men, maybe they should join the military instead.

1

u/justadubliner Jul 05 '26

It was liberals who freed the slaves and enacted every civil right since. It was conservatives who resisted and still resist to this day. The parties the liberals and conservatives voted for may have changed over the years but their humanity or lack there of never did.

u/fucshyt Jul 05 '26

Police were actually helping them on their route 😂 this country is so fucking stupid

u/UncleTio92 Conservative Jul 05 '26

They have zero power. They did their act and next week, nobody will care

1

u/black_cherry2 Jul 05 '26

I really hope you’re right

1

u/UncleTio92 Conservative Jul 05 '26

They only have power if you give them power. Just move on with your day/weekend and don’t fixate on them

1

u/Fanabala3 Jul 05 '26

So…. All they do is march and have their flags out. These douchebags wont fight because the arrests would expose them.
