Providing she and RFK come to an accord - which he states is impossible.

I'm certain they weren't libertarians.

There is a possibility of that, given the vax angst he's been pushing,

I PRAY that you are correct!

And moreover that our Republic can survive the full-on assault by antifa:

@TonySeruga
GPS—Over 30,000 international antifa have already arrived in the Chicago
area, with approximately 500-850 more arriving each day.

The left has whipped up its supporters into a frenzy believing they must
stop “the great Hitler.” Former National Security Council staff member
Rich Higgins, a Pentagon irregular warfare expert, told the Washington
Times, “Antifa’s goal is nothing less than fomenting revolution, civil
war and silencing America’s anti-communists. Their labeling of Trump
supporters and patriots as Nazis and racists is standard fare for
left-wing communist groups.”

It is common to hear Antifa state that people on the right are even
worse than Nazis. One member stated, ‘Fascists, by being Fascists, have
announced their affiliation with many of the worst crimes in human
history. In some ways, they are worse than the average member of the
actual nazi party was, because they look back at Hitler’s crimes and
revere it in full knowledge of what it wrought.”

Another Antifa member said, “it’s not just about punching a Nazi in the
face. It’s also punching a Nazi in the face and making sure they don’t
come back again.”

Antifa rioted at the Trump presidential inauguration in 2017, injuring
six police officers and resulting in the arrest of 217 people that day.
According to CNN, “black-clad ‘antifascist’ protesters smashed
storefronts and bus stops, hammered out the windows of a limousine and
eventually launched rocks at a phalanx of police.” In addition to the
violence at the Capitol, rioting broke out in other big cities,
including New York, Seattle, Dallas, Chicago and Portland, Oregon. One
person ended up in critical condition at a hospital with a gunshot wound.

Journalist Christopher F. Rufo explained in City Journal how leftist
groups have become very coordinated and prepared for rioting. “Left-wing
activists have established a constellation of institutions to support
public demonstrations,” he said. “Protest NGOs, media entities, research
centers, black-bloc (Antifa) networks, and bail funds are all finely
tuned to mobilize mass movements. The Left carefully manages its licit
and illicit factions: progressive political leaders tacitly delegate the
dirty work to anarchist and racialist factions, which can change
costumes — for example, from a BLM mask to a Palestinian keffiyeh — at
any moment.”

Rufo believes Republican elected officials need to prepare for likely
violence after the 2024 election.
