1. I don't think there is one thing that will fix this mess.

Education would certainly help but we need an economy for everyone, not just the 1%. That's where a lot of dissatisfaction comes from - loss of the American dream. Loss of the idea that your kids will do better than you did.

We also need a news media with real journalists, not just well paid news readers who parrot the corporate line.

Finally, Trump showed just how much of our current system depends on precedent & tradition, & the honor of those who hold key positions. We need to codify some of this shit, like McConnell's holding up judicial appointments, or the emoluments clause, which apparently has no teeth whatsoever, at least is you're a republican.

We'll need big majorities to do any of this.
