Who is Patriot Politics?

Patriot Politics is a 17-year-old content creator and freelance writer. He started the Patriot Politics Blog in late April 2020 to establish a medium to advertise an authentic conservative message. From an early age, Patriot enjoyed writing, and roughly a year ago, he began to delve deeply into the political realm. Now, he has pieced the two elements together in what he believes to be a manifestation of his extensive political and philosophical research. He hopes you enjoy the articles, and he enthusiastically welcomes differing opinions—feel free to interact in the comment section!
