If the US is the way I think it is, it's only a matter of time before another sociopathic narcissist sends us on the same kind of journey again. Trump no longer being president doesn't solve the systemic issues that led to his presidency. :/
The main issue is that you are ruled by 2 parties whose agenda is to impose the oligarchs rule alternating carrot or stick to inflict it upon the people.
Never forget that the carrot party would rather lose to the stick by moving further to the right on each election cycle, than to support any of the popular left-wing policies that would have mobilized the common people to vote for them (You know: Universal healthcare, living wages, end to wars and genocide support...)
