It has to start somewhere. With that attitude, why do anything?
Because it's a mistake to think that Trump is the root cause of the issue, and if you're putting your hopes into things changing for the better once he's gone, you'll be disappointed.
But you have to properly acknowledge the scope of the problem to start working on it effectively. This is a systemic issue, not an individual one.
I know and I believe we need to read up on history.
