I don't think your society will find a way out of this, because the root causes are systemic and have been developing for decades: lack of a social safety net, weak worker's rights, incredibly large difference in wealth between social classes, overpowered companies and corporations, etc. Adding to the above, the current administration has proved time and again that they're not up to the job. And finally, the wave of (out)rage currently unfolding in the US, celebrated by many as a good thing is in reality a terrible thing - the problem of racism in the US is so complex that it is impossible to solve it by using force (condemnations, firings, banishment, verbal and physical violence). This also applies to sexism and other -isms: it takes brains and willingness to spend the time (years to decades). Those events are yet another social flare-up that will take its course and then fizzle out.
