My sense is another of the offshoot 3rd-party efforts that appear on ballots from time to time. (The word "constitution" is very popular in the titles of these things.) The values expressed seem "leave us alone/traditionalist" enough. But as Pete (IIRC) correctly pointed out, these usually fail to really gain traction because they so often aim higher than they have created roots for. They always want to start at National or Federal-rep level, without having grown the local or state candidates successfully that will be truly viable as candidates.

To respond to Antifa thuggery in their own words, I must share a resurrected tidbit from a blogger who passed away not long ago, and someone who's likely been read by many. Ol' Remus had The Woodpile Report and this nugget from him is, I think, worth pondering (especially by the left, don't say you weren't warned).
"Middle class America is no less violent than any other people. They seem passive because they're results oriented. They rise not out of blood frenzy but to solve the otherwise insoluble. Their methods of choice are good will, cooperation, forbearance, negotiation and finally, appeasement, roughly in that order. Only when these fail to end the abuse do they revert to blowback. And they do so irretrievably. Once the course is set and the outcome defined, doubt is put aside. The middle class is known, condemned actually, for carrying out violence with the efficiency of an industrial project where bloody destruction at any scale is not only in play, it's a metric. Remorse is left for the next generation, they'll have the leisure for it. We'd like to believe this is merely dark speculation. History says it isn't."
