text: Why?Like any group, Patriot Front has to recruit new members to grow. These events put Patriot Front in the spotlight, give them credibility as an activist organization, and keep them relevant. This Lincoln Memorial march gives them a notch in their belt, proves they can still mobilize activists, and demonstrates a commitment to peaceful activism (for now). Asked why they marched, Rousseau responded, “Our demonstrations are an exhibition of our unified capability to organize, to show our strength—not as brawlers or public nuisances, but as men capable of illustrating a message and seeking an America that more closely resembles the interests of its true people.”Many pointed out on Sunday that the initial video of the march was posted by a Twitter account named @SherylLewellen, an account created last month and used an AI-generated profile picture. In the original post, @SherylLewellen tagged numerous journalist accounts, ensuring widespread publicity of the march. As the video post went viral, the account rebranded to “Reclaim America – PatriotFront.US” (images below), and was quickly taken down by Twitter. This was a successful propaganda move by Patriot Front, and ensures that screenshots and images, along with the Patriot Front website, will circulate on social media. Along with propagating Patriot Front’s message – “Reclaim America!” — media coverage will likely attract like-minded individuals who may later be recruited through the website.
