You lost me at - "Do you want a civil war? Because that's how you get a civil war."

You're not seeing the resolve I'm seeing.

A very small number of Trump's Christo-fascist dumbasses will be squashed like the roaches they are if they call for a civil war.

The Christians are not a small number and their resolve is strong. The left is giving them power by "acting poorly". The center has more or less fallen and sides with the right because the left is far to extreme. They will not call for a civil war, those currently in power are trying very hard to PROVOKE a response to justify what you view as "squashing roaches". The Christian right is becoming very organized and they're not stupid. They will succeed, but the cost will be a theocracy.

The only real hope is to restore online forums to allow a center to re-establish and re-create a center.

There's also not much censorship in the US.

This is false. You cannot speak freely on the main planforms about c-19, vaccine problems, or election transparency without being ejected. The seizing of the main forums by partisans (from the left) has pushed out any real discourse into echo chambers. All of these issues are key to conservatives, libertarians and centrists. The current lack of discussion is allowing extreme ideas on both sides with no moderating effect of the opposing sides.

If you want to tear it all down, the replacement will not be a liberal system or even communism, but a full fledge theocracy, because only the Christians will stand with the resolve to hold on to their freedoms (and way of life).

    True Christians would want Trump to hang for treason.

    Debatable what true Christianity is. You assume them to be amoral, but it is more like they don't believe what you believe to be true. Hence why it is so important to undo the censorship so that bad ideas can be ejected.

    The so-called 'christians' you refer to are a small minority of complete idiots who don't understand Christianity.

    There's a small minority of Muslims that believe in Jihad enough to act on it, but most would not resist the imposition of Islam on unbelievers if the small minority were to take control. The majority of Muslims would more or less passively cooperate and help.

    The same goes for Christianity. The difference is that these groups are not radical on the surface, but if you watch their rhetoric, you'd see they have the potential to be just as dogmatic and authoritarian in their imposition of values if given a chance. The difference is that most Christians are open to self examination to become better people, and they would listen to criticisms (if they're logical) and re-adjust their perspectives. However, the left is going so far, that they're hardening their ears to anything coming from the far left. Again, this is why censorship needs to end.

    They're the 'American Taliban' who should rot in Hell for their sins.

    I really don't think they're a "Taliban", though the potential is there if pushed to an extreme. I would encurage you to look at alternative forums to expand your understanding of where they're coming from, even though a lot of what's going on on their forums is turning ugly.

    Again, these echo chambers are actually breeding anti-Semitic and racist viewpoints, not because the ideas of anti-Semitism or racism are strong, but rather because they are NOT being challenged in these echo chambers that the Christians/conservatives/right have been pushed into. The CENSORSHIP is FOSTERING these bad ideas, and they're getting traction. Without exposure, they WILL become a reality. The censorship is the ROOT of this evil!
