On further reflection I think Patriot Front is a white hat Fed operation with the objective of capturing and funneling rightwing tension in productive and/or harmless ways, and sometimes integrate it into other psyops.
They create the org (very slick website) and have their agents participate a bit every month. Citizens who are past the point of protesting and want action sign up and get involved. Get to hang out with the agents and do fun activities that release their outrage in a harmless way. By creating the org early they capture energy that might have gone into an org that they don't control. The fact that they are so Fed-like in their demographics indicates there probably isn't much grassroots violent energy to speak of coming from the right.
They stage carefully scripted, legal protests that still have a small bit of "edge" to them. Though that edge is mostly derived from media and leftist hysteria it still serves its purpose.
Just like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers before it, the agents can monitor people and stop them before they go hot.
This hypothesis explains why they're able to achieve such ridiculous uniformity in their dress code and behavior (they're younger agents who just passed a fitness test), why they're almost laughably harmless and not stirring up any real trouble at all (unlike ANTIFA, they're white hats), and why we don't see them recruiting on any conservative forums (they're white hats and know we're productively contributing to their objectives). It explains why there seems to be 100x more interest in this group from the left than on the right. It explains why they wear masks and glasses when no other patriot groups do (they need to be able to do their regular Fed day jobs after the Proud Boy shift).
Finally, it would explain the amount of "activity" they are able to pull off in the conservative hotbed of fucking Massachusetts...

Am I missing anything? Would be interested in hearing other plausible explanations as to what type of operation they are if they are a Fed operation.
Probably the worst kind.
Appear to be your friend so they have a large group of trusting patriots they can sell out.
