I mean it's just a poll, but: what kind of violence? Hopefully organised? And what does "back on track" mean anyhow? The past years have shown us that the problem is systemic. Going back means the option for the next asshole to do the same is still there.

It’s happening….
Wait... The country full of gun nuts would think that? I'm flabbergasted
I only glanced the article but a question we need to answer first is what exactly is violence?
It seems straightforward but in multiple countries now i have read politicians making claims about violent mobs while in effect it was destruction of property.
Aggression isn’t violence so i am curious how many people say one thing while meaning the other.

I've not heard a single conservative say anything about "back" on anything. Not on track, not to old school values, not a fuckin thing.
I have heard them say it's time for a new America though. A lot lately in fact. Phrasing, ya know?
Trump certainly does, or at least it's what he claims.
Just because it will probably be, doesn't mean you have to initiate it first. Not only is there a lot of preparation that needs to go towards a revolution that isn't just arming and shooting, but it's also better if the other side is the one to initiate it first. First is getting rid of the delusion that the federal government hasn't been corrupted beyond repair, getting rid of the delusion that you can work inside a system that's now exponentially worse than it was 4 years ago and somehow fix it. Then you can look at your own history and where power can actually be consolidated, and begin preparing knowing you are working against compromised social networks with the next generation of Cambridge Analyticas so you can't rely on ignoring the elephant in the room.
