What got us a president Trump and all this associated garbage was a weak democratic candidate who ran no sort of effective campaign.
The only way this gets solved is the democrats regroup and have a banner year in 2018. While things like protests and news coverage serve the purpose of putting the spotlight on the issues and holding people accountable, I really think any sort of impeachment or Trump seeing the error of his ways is a pipe dream.
It gets back to the phrase Obama used a few times before the election, "don't boo; vote". If people can't turn all of this effort into a meaningful political movement, then its a giant waste of time.
Take for example the tea party. They started off as a bunch of pissed off people holding rallies. But they then took the next step and organized and ran candidates. They continue to be important players in the national scene despite being a relatively small portion of the electorate.
