So what's this Patriot Front that I keep hearing about? What are their beliefs?

White supremacist domestic terrorist group.

They're Nazi's

As in seriously they're Nazis. They prescribe to white supremacist fascism and are known for looking up to Hitler and Mussolini.

From a quick google search. They have a website as well with their whole batshit crazy racist manifesto.

neo Nazis.

It's a liiiiitle bit more complicated than that. But not much more.

Ugh, gross. Does Springfield have a lot of people who subscribe to irritating political groups like Patriot Front and Antifa?

I just...I just want to get to work without the road being blocked.

Antifa means Antifascist, it does not describe to a specific ideology. If you're against fascism, you're apart of Antifa, congratulations.

Imagine equating Patriot Front with antifa.

I dunno if you did that on purpose, or if you actually don't know any better.

My general rule is "assume no malice until given a good reason to think otherwise" so I am going to assume you didn't know any better.

But to answer your questions directly it, it's very hard to say how many people ascribe themselves to, let's say, heavily activistic political wings, but it's a good bet that there are a fair few.
