to add to this, Patriot front showed up just in time for a string of Biden speeches condemning the "maga republicans". this timing combined with basically no crossover between the proud boys or any other alt-right organizations, no mentions on /pol/ and zero presence on The Donald and any other alt-right forums, and their use of face masks for concealing identity pretty much guaranteed. it was nothing but a Fed op. they also conveniently only ever did protests in places where there were a lot of cameras rolling, with plenty of footage captured for CNN, MSNBC, and all the other lib-shit rags.
