Secession may occur, but the violence may be corralled before the 1T starts in circa 2028. The Trump base will linger, but my suspicion and hope is that its power will only be enough to make a 4T crisis climax exist, beyond which a relative, but not complete, consensus will lead us into the future.
If you can accomplish the first step on your list, the odds are decent that progress will be made. Unfortunately, Progressive ideas are scary. They are often new and untried, so the less adventurous (i.e. almost all the population) will only opt for that as a last resort. Note: Winston Churchill saw that as the defining issue of our politics.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
