Or, you know, kick the bastards out, and close all the authoritarian loopholes. More democracy, stop subsidizing the fuck out of the rich, move that to education and research. Mandate empiricism in governance.
End US imperialism in favour of multilateral partnerships, especially around the 800 or so military bases in other countries, or else that shit returns home and gets used on Americans. The ship has sailed on being the one superpower. Adapt and evolve.
Myself, I favour smaller polities wherever possible, but given the current lack of an egalitarian basis to start from, breaking the states into countries will be a feast for the oligarchs.
The only way some sort of plan like that works is if we dont change leaders every 4 years. Its going to flip flop back and forth over and over. Unfortunately its far easier and quicker to tear things down than to build them, and so we slide farther down.
There needs to be rules and standards for politicians to be able to participate in politics.
