Here are some of the things that each side would get from a Robert F. Kennedy Jr. presidency--I repeat that this is not an all-inclusive list:
Conservatives | Liberals |
Sealing the southern border via executive orders and DHS action, the deportation of most--not all, but most--illegal immigrants, and the enforcement of laws against hiring illegal immigrants. | A path to citizenship for Dreamers, and legal status for certain illegal immigrants who have been employed here for many years. |
Support for voter ID laws. | Federal issuance of photo ID to low-income voters who do not have the means to get a photo ID. |
Support for banning biological males from competing in female sports. | Support for pro-union measures, including the PRO Act and making union dues tax deductible. |
Support for banning transgender surgery and puberty blockers for minors. | Support for raising the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour and inflation-index increases as needed after that. |
Support for gun rights and opposition to any form of unconstitutional gun confiscation. | Keeping America in the Paris Climate Accords and support for viable, responsible green energy programs. |
Support for religious freedom. | Support for aggressive federal action against industrial air and water pollution. |
Support for halting deficit spending and working toward balancing the federal budget. (Honestly, few liberals seem to care about this issue, though you'd think this would be a bipartisan concern.) | Support for federal welfare programs (though RFK Jr. does support a work requirement for those welfare recipients who are able to work). |
Support for a variety of measures to reduce the number of abortions, a respectful attitude toward pro-lifers and the pro-life position, and an acknowledgement that elective abortion is never morally right. | Support for allowing abortion until week 28 of pregnancy. |
Opposition to defunding the police. | A prudent, responsible reduction in defense spending. |
