Tribalism is a major factor in how this situation arrived.
Violence will not improve the political landscape, and it likely won't even improve the voting metrics for the opposition (ex: the Trump assassination attempt was the major turning point for the online prediction markets last election).
Keep in mind that What we see is a direct result of half of the country directly voting for it. Certainly there are people regretting the Trump vote. They need to be engaged with in a positive way (demeaning them does nothing, even if they "deserve" it). Much of the country doesn't even vote. That seems like an extra critical issue at the moment. And not just for national elections, but local elections and midterms as well.
The hyper factionalism is a game of ping pong, and Trump it won't be the last actualized result of it.
