Striking down affirmative action and ending Roe v. Wade didn't happen overnight. For decades, conservatives remained focused, played the long game, held their noses, and voted for imperfect candidates in every election in order to remake the courts.
There is no magic bullet to undo this. Progressives, liberals, and moderates who believe in social justice will have to be as determined and committed to voting over several election cycles.

Well there IS a magic bullet of sorts: if we don't like a law, we should pass a better law!
If we don't like how Title VI of the Civil Rights Act interacts with college admission, then let's fire the silver bullet of reforming it to sanction affirmative action.
This is on us. We elect the jerks who haven't fixed these laws in all this time.
Let's elect better lawmakers.
