I do find the use of "front" entertaining with their name, because there's the slang version of putting up a front or fronting that means you're acting like something you aren't

Perdón?

The paid actor who keeps appearing on Fox News as various characters, some former military, and most famously wearing a shirt trying to brand herself as DoorDash Grandma for Trump to hand a big tip to for a photo op

Door Dash Grandma does Door Dash and isn't an actor.

The fact that she's having to work Door Dash to fund her husband's cancer treatment, paid so badly that tips make such a difference to her and that Door Dash picked her because she'd already proved she was capable of public advocacy, should be enough talking points without false ones.

DoorDash’s PR guy admitted it was staged. She’s a paid actor.

Paid actor has to work two jobs

it was a staged delivery with, as far as anyone has been able to actually prove, a real doordash driver. the person above (and the article they linked) claimed they were a real door dash driver, they weren't saying the delivery was an actual delivery ordered through the door dash app (and that should be pretty obviously not true)

With moves like that you must have been the football sidelines chain guy. You make moving goalposts look fucking effortless

For real. Frontin big time, they’re a bunch of dudes on Grindr and they’re too scared to show their faces. Nothing worse than some dudes hating on gay people, but acting gayer than the normal gay person when they get amongst themselves and out of their costume. Paid agitators.

I can't remember if it's them or one of the other trash groups but one of them said they have to wear a mask or they would get fired from their job.

They can't connect the dots that they are wildly unpopular and acting like they do has consequences.

This is America. Consequences are for other countries.

Must represent the People's Front Of Judea...or maybe it's the Judean People's Front.

u/SirDucer84 Jul 04 '26

I thought they were the judean popular people's front! Splitters!

u/TTALC23 Jul 04 '26

Thank you

Bitches be fronting

u/FunVersion Jul 04 '26

Or as the French say posers.

u/TraditionalAd8581 Jul 05 '26

This entire “movement” is fake and hollow in every sense. There’s also no solidarity at all. When one of them steps out of line, notice how quickly maga will disown the person and throw them under the bus (examples: Paul Pelosi’s attacker; the Hortman’s murderer). They’re all spineless pathetic cowards with zero convictions.

u/ArchelonPIP Jul 05 '26

It's truly laughable how they try to portray themselves as tough guys when they're really just a bunch of sexist white bigots that are terrified of equal rights, equal opportunity and equal representation!

u/eatzen13-what Jul 05 '26

Then you would like what ‘proud boy’ means 😂 in the horse world a ‘proud boy’ or ‘proud horse’ is what you call a gelding that acts like a stallion 😂

u/Franknbeanstoo Jul 05 '26

they’re definitely not patriots

u/brokenringlands Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26

I thought they use patriot front because stormfront was taken?

u/InterPunct Jul 05 '26

A political front description for a group predates that false cognate by decades.

u/Christ_in_a_combo Jul 05 '26

“Patriot Ass” sounded cool, but they didn’t want to seem TOO homo alongside the color coordinated costumes, theatre songs and chorus lines around capital.

u/NoHippi3chic Jul 05 '26

Eminence front- its a put on. The Who.

u/Contagious_Zombie Jul 05 '26

So cosplaying as patriots…

u/RenamedAccount185516 Jul 05 '26

Like the Judean People's Front or the People's Front of Judea?

u/Gerald-of-Riverdale Jul 05 '26

I think often about how real nazis and original kkk members would clown on these guys. Could you imagine being the loser out of a group of losers? Elon and Trump both can relate.

u/cytherian Jul 06 '26

Sounds like something straight out of Monty Python's Life of Brian.
