“Neo-fascist group Patriot Front parades banners, including Confederate flag, chanting ‘Reclaim America’ in US capital“
—The Guardian

How many of their “patriotic” dollars
Were spent on spiffy shirts with matching collars?
Coordinated, yes, but just plain tacky,
These cosplay kooks in color-coded khaki.

Confirmed in their convictions re: the races,
Yet not quite brave enough to show their faces—
Disguised, in mobs, each bully feels empowered,
And so it is, of course, for every coward.
