Trump is a symptom - not the disease. Often if you just try to treat symptoms the disease gets worse. We have a large fraction of the U.S. population that is disenfranchised/unhappy with things. It is various things. It might be things like gay marriage becoming federally enforced allowed. It might be higher taxes. It might be mainstream media/big-tech political asymmetry. It might be big govt vs not. It might be being priced out of your hometown because of people moving in. I'm not saying any of these things are bad or good - just saying that what are we going to do to actually heal? Voting your people in power and ignoring a very large demographic is not going to heal anything. It will make things worse. We have to engage with each other - not disengage.
