    Its time people own it rather than pretending it didn't happen, or worse, claim it was a false flag thing to make the right wingers look bad.

    No, the ‘Patriot Front’ Far-Right Rally in DC Was Not Faked
    Right-wing politicians and commentators sought to play down a "Patriot Front" demonstration on the National Mall, in December 2021.
    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/patriot-front-rally-dc-fake/


    CLAIM: A Dec. 4, 2021, rally in Washington D.C. was staged or faked by federal agents or actors, rather than a real white nationalist group called Patriot Front.

    VERDICT: FALSE

    However, several figures from the American right sought to undermine the authenticity of the rally, claiming variously that it was conducted by federal law enforcement agents in disguise, and/or left-wing agents provocateurs, or actors. For example, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., described the men shown in one video as “movie characters”:

    Lol snopes.

    Yeah I don't think anyone says it's fake they think it's staged and it clearly was.

    Snopes is often times quite full of ****

    Snopes is an exercise in I read it on the internet so it must be true because they wouldn't put stuff on the internet unless it's true.

    Who cares what it was? Are only left-wingers allowed in DC? Is that your point?

    Loyal to their habits, people claim everything they don't like must be labeled as "fake" or "staged". LOL

    By no means. Neo-nazis / white supremacist are allowed, which is why these RW guys were allowed to do their thing.

    Well no other people are allowed in DC to March but they are white supremacists for doing so.

    Just apply that wash to anything everyone's allowed to eat steak it's just unless you're left just your white supremacist for doing so and so forth.

    This event was very strange and unlike any other. I think it's a good thing when the right wing says that it's staged that means whatever they're doing it's not what they support.

    I think that's the biggest issue that people have with this that right wing conservative types don't support it. I don't support it so much to the point and they don't even think it's realistic.

    He doesn't realize that white supremacists support critical race theory and identity politics and neo-nazis are socialist that's not right wing at all. I would say it's extreme left I'm glad it's just a tablet too far left for most leftists unless it's the right color supremacy.

    According to their words and actions.

    How would you describe the "Patriot Front" group, and how do you defend the material they produce and distribute?

    Claiming that its staged is a desperate attempt to deflect from the fact that these guys are in their team.

    Who the hell cares? Did they do any damage, set any cars on fire, beat up any little old ladies? No.

    Sounds like it was safer than a Pride parade.

    I believe in the fundamental right of all individuals to free association and peaceable assembly, irrespective of how strongly I disagree with them.

    Right wing conservative types, notwithstanding declared lack of support for extremists on what they consider their side of the aisle , are nonetheless circling the wagons around them (left wing liberal/progressive types do the same, by the way). Come the revolution, they are of course likely to be shot by both sides, because extremists are not on anyone else's side but their own.

    Oddly enough, not one of those who pretend the march was either fake flag or unimportant bothered to fact-check their own opinions. The group exists since 2017, its leader is Thomas Rousseau of “Unite the Right”-rally fame. They have taken credit for an attack on an anti-ICE camp in 2018. The group also staged marches in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

    All the information is just a few keystrokes away.

    PL, it takes courage to open one's eyes to reality. It is much easier and safer to insulate ourselves and outright deny anything that we can't process because living authentically and honestly comes with all kinds of horrible truths.

    So, when we talk about non-existent widespread election fraud, mysterious gatherings said to be staged or anything else that rips the Band-Aid clean away, we have to accept that everyone simply can't face certain facts. Most of them are not evil or malicious. More often than not, it's nothing more than they cling tightly to their belief systems and fight hard against anything that threatens that. It can't go away because the source won't go away. I remain hopeful that some of his staunch supporters will come to realize just how delusional and paranoid he really is. Some will never accept that truth and all we can do is keep moving forward to rebalance after the storm.

    The pro defamation League.

    I just got finished reading their Hatchet job on it trying to discover if there is any evidence of them existing before December this year. So far Wikipedia reference something from 2017 by the pro-Defamation League so I'm not sure.

    Even if it wasn't staged who cares?

    They just walked around carrying flags and then oddly got into some U-Haul trucks and went away.

    I've read about the information on this group and it seems to be the pro defamation League. That seems to consider them white supremacists but I saw nothing from them that indicates that.

    Sounds like a lot of people are going for that McCarthyism thing.

    If there was even a hint that that laughable sham was real, the lefties would be scrambling to dox every single person who participated, out them, and cancel them with the left's usual screeching ferocity.

    As it is, the silence is deafening, and the left's lack of curiosity is very curious.

    Pay no attention to the people behind the curtain!

    In a sense all protests and riots are staged aka organized by someone. They don't just happen.

    This particular one was staged by a right wing neo-nazi group called "the patriot front".

    Denial and resorting to conspiracy theories became standard practice in the past 5 years, which is why people shriek "fake new media" as soon as they hear something they don't like. Blaming the FBI is also common.

    We all know how it started.

    There always has been election fraud and there always will be, it's just human nature. The split is so wide and so hardened today and the counts so close that it can change the outcome and it does.
