Patriot Front: The Masked March of Ideology
In the shadow of the chaotic and tragic "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, a young, determined figure named Thomas Ryan Rousseau stepped into the harsh light of national attention. A teenager with a history of writing conservative opinion columns for his high school newspaper, Rousseau was already steeped in far-right ideology. When the rally's violence, including the death of Heather Heyer, painted Vanguard America, his then-group, with a tar of negative publicity, Rousseau saw an opportunity. He rebranded, creating what would become known as Patriot Front - a name meant to evoke a sense of American pride while masking its extremist roots.
