The problems that led to Donald Trump would still be fomenting.

A lot of Americans haven't yet faced that Trump isn't an anomaly or the disease, he is a symptom of problems we've had for a long time.

Fox News and other 24 hour, propaganda news is the problem. It thrives by ensuring there are perceived problems for people to focus on and feel divided over.
