There isn't. Not when the media & educational institutions have been long marched through and the social media's splintering effect lets them self-radicalize in echo chambers from there.
This is a problem where even if we regain control of the institutions, two or three generational shifts have to happen for the population to shed these beliefs. Until then, you'd need to be actually repressive to suppress this level of indoctrinated idiocy.
Even if we begin pushing the needle to the right, the demographic shift moves the overton window and policy towards the left remain in effect. There can be no conservation/conservative success when the underlying society has been deformed past the point of no return.
Balkanization might leave a rump state we'd recognize as 'American,' but without an authoritarian crackdown (also something unrecognizable as America, to me) I don't see a way to 'unite' the United States.

That’s unfortunately the more likely outcome
