What happened in Boston?

Dozens of masked members of the group known as Patriot Front marched through the streets of Boston on Saturday carrying flags and police shields. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), Patriot Front is a "white nationalist hate group."

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu took to Twitter to condemn the march. "To the white supremacists who ran through downtown today: When we march, we don't hide our faces," she wrote. "Your hate is as cowardly as it is disgusting, and it goes against all that Boston stands for."

What does the Patriot Front believe?

The group's manifesto envisions an anti-democratic future for the United States. "The time of the Republic has passed in America as the system grows too weak to perform its duty," it reads. "The damage done to this nation and its people will not be fixed if every issue requires the approval and blessing from the dysfunctional American democratic system. Democracy has failed in this once great nation."

The document also expresses the group's white nationalism: "An African, for example, may have lived, worked, and even been classed as a citizen in America for centuries, yet he is not American ... The same rule applies to others who are not of the founding stock of our people."
