Truly great disasters come like a thief in the night. How many foresaw Rome’s sacking in 410 A.D., her collapse 66 years later, WWI or WWII? As for today, how many see that the United States is at what some call a tipping point, what others may call a Fourth Turning? Whatever you call it, the American republic is in its last days. This is too scary for many to contemplate, but there’s something far scarier: playing ostrich and not being prepared for things to come.
The so-called Left, ever violent since its French Revolution birth and as power hungry as ever, wholly controls the culture: the media, mainstream and social; academia; and entertainment. This means it controls long-term politics, since the latter is downstream of culture. So is big business, mind you, which is why the Left controls most of it as well; this, of course, translates into funding.
Trump’s 2016 victory will not MAGA; it was merely a stay of execution, a prolonging of the inevitable. This should have been obvious in a country that could elect Barack Obama and then, like the Titanic having backed up to hit the iceberg again, re-elect him. If it wasn’t, it should be obvious now that the Democrats have seized the House in a Watergate-level rout.

There no longer is an “American people”; there are peoples living in America. We’re balkanized not just racially, ethnically and religiously, but also ideologically, sexually and philosophically; we speak different languages, literally and figuratively. With open talk of open-borders socialism on one side and nationalism on the other, the Overton window is now so wide that each end occupies a different time zone. Frankly, many of us hate each other. If our union were a marriage, we’d have divorced long ago.

“You cannot reason a man out of a position he has not reasoned himself into,” as Jonathan Swift put it.”
—
While a correct observation, there’s a bit of irony in the author believing the quote originated with Swift.

This article expresses my secret thoughts. Secret, though, because I prefer happy endings. Dissolution of the Republic doesn’t seem like one, and it’s fraught with peril.
One of the premises of the negatism in the article is that demographics is destiny. I don’t think that’s necessarily so. Young people mature, and the children of Leftists don’t necessarily become their parents.

Tell us who to shoot and let’s get started!
The ending is already written and we know who wins. That's all that's important. (From a Christian perspective.)

Wholly controls the culture? The media?
What is this nonsense?
Has the author been living under a rock?
What of social media?
What of MSM ratings in a freefall?
If people are turning off their cable news, how is that
controlling anything?
Historically, Americans are waking up and preparing to deep-six the media, the courts, the banks, and their centralized benefactors.
Maybe I needed to read more but the statements from the outset are so devoid of substantive matter that I would suffer a headache to read more.
“Now it has happened twice since 2000 alone, with the GOP capturing the popular vote in just one of its three victories (G.W. Bush, 2004). How long can we continue losing it while winning the Electoral College? We can’t pull inside straights forever.”
There is massive voter fraud. Illegal voters. Illegal votes.
I hope the Federal government deals these people a hard blow to restore integrity to our system.
Trump is one man and there is so much to fix on every front.
Unless there are perp walks by people at the top, nothing will change.
As to dissolution, I think it is possible unless the pendulum swings the other way.

There's a time to "lovingly teach the principles of morality and honor" (as you say) and there's a time to pick up yur damn weapon.
I would suggest the latter time is upon us.

How do you “spiritually awaken” people who have REJECTED Christ?
The only hope is that the left’s road map for America is unsustainable; collapse is inevitable. There won’t be a country anymore. Then the Chinese will come in and they will disappear. Chinese don’t like revolutionaries. Not a pretty picture for a future.
If Saul of Tarsus can be changed, who cannot?
“How do you ‘spiritually awaken’ people who have REJECTED Christ?”
“You” don’t personally do that. You pray constantly for a revival in America so that the Spirit will do that. Some of the most fervent Christians had at one time blatantly rejected Christ. It can happen.

And before anyone objects to what DS just said, it is the sad truth that this mid-term finally and terminally revealed that what was once politics has now devolved a once-proud nation into watching the Democrats attempt to peel off 6% of women.
In a roaring economy, the Democrats knew they had no other choice. And now the GOP hase no other choice but for Trump to utilize Keystrokes and reveal every single communication by every Democrat in any elected position higher than dogcatcher, every act of their voter calumny, their outright fraud, and let the prosecutions begin.

When the black South Africans start confiscating white owned property we should bring them all here. Left leaning ones should go to New Zealand/Australia. 10 million of them. Bring in a million or 2 and disperse them in Nv. Co. and Az. When AMERICAN blacks play the race card for not letting in the caravan I have the perfect response: In South Africa the whites are in danger of being EATEN.
In 1 Timothy, Paul tells us he obtained mercy because he acted ignorantly in unbelief.
That is not the same as the rejection we see today as outlined in Romans, chapter one.
They want to destroy the Constitution and the country and then replace it with a totalitarian system. All this talk about socialism and communism is merely pablum for the idealistic idiots like Bernie, Ocasio-Cortez, and their student followers.
BTW, don't forget that there is a huge financial reward for destroying the U.S.
That's Soros' preferred way to make money.
