Historically speaking, what's coming has become almost inevitable at this point. There has only ever been two, and only two modes of human interaction. Reason or force. That's it. That's all. One or the other. It will start at the point when either one or both sides become convinced that they cannot achieve their objectives and/or settle their differences by talking about them anymore, and that open violent conflict is the only remaining course of action left open to them. One or both sides may be right. One or both sides may be wrong. By that point it won't matter anymore.
Then it's von Clausewitz rules. If one side uses force, then the other side must also, or lose. If one side increases it's force, then the other side must also increase, or lose. If one side makes an all-out, maximum effort, then the other must also, or lose.
"...we defy augury. There's special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all."

Let's be honest, one side if being violent and pushing things to extremes and the other side has hardly fought back at all.
One or both sides may be right. One or both sides may be wrong. By that point it won't matter anymore.
One side is clearly wrong and it does matter.
They will keep pushing harder and harder until they control every single aspect of your life and thoughts. They already control most of that....
This has all happened before.
