What would you suggest Americans actually do? They voted this in knowing this would happen.

It’s one thing to shout into a void about some vague disagreement, but it’s entirely different to actually take some form of real action. What should that action comprise?

This country needs to crumble on itself, 30% of Americans are still behind Trump, whatever he does. This will not be fixed easily.

I really believe it’s a messaging problem and a money problem. There is money guiding media to rally around a message/figure and it’s rewarded handsomely in return. That’s the problem to fix.

There will always be insane amounts of money towards right-wing propaganda in media. If it is ever made illegal, it will be lobbied into legality again. If lobbying is made illegal, politicians will be corrupted into allowing it.

It would take something very radical to fix the massive imbalance of power in this world. Something I fear Amercians are not ready for. So let it burn, maybe something better will emerge from the ashes.
