This is where the 100 years come in. We need to realign the culture. that starts with taking back the education system, the media, all media, news, tv, movies. Let the commies die off as time goes by. Like you I never thought that I would see civil war in my lifetime, now I'm concerned about the next 90-180 days. A lot has change in the last 4&1/2 years. Just because the summer of "mostly peaceful protest" got away with their actions, I suspect it won't be tolerated again. Three assassination attempts, God forbid someone succeeds. A whole
pile of people won't buy the lone gunman, Iran did it, no matter how true it might be.
"Coming now to the other qualities mentioned above, I say that every prince ought to desire to be considered clement and not cruel. Nevertheless he ought to take care not to misuse this clemency. Cesare Borgia was considered cruel; notwithstanding, his cruelty reconciled the Romagna, unified it, and restored it to peace and loyalty. And if this be rightly considered, he will be seen to have been much more merciful than the Florentine people, who, to avoid a reputation for cruelty, permitted Pistoia to be destroyed. Therefore a prince, so long as he keeps his subjects united and loyal, ought not to mind the reproach of cruelty; because with a few examples he will be more merciful than those who, through too much mercy, allow disorders to arise, from which follow murders or robberies; for these are wont to injure the whole people, whilst those executions which originate with a prince offend the individual only."
Niccolò Machiavelli
