All of the sensationalized nonsense and conspiracy theories really need to stop. Powerful groups and self-interested politicians keep promoting that stuff to get ahead, but basic knowledge of civics and history debunks it all.
Yeah, both parties nominated garbage candidates. It sucks. But we accepted it apparently. And the next four years are just going to be muddling through, but that's democracy for you.
The only way to get better is to reject all of the nonsense and get back to serious governance. All of the fear-mongering stands in the way of that though.
If you're scared then you're buying into exactly the problems that are preventing us from having good governance here.
We need people to be more skeptical of what they're being told, we need better education so people don't call for this fear-mongering, but until we do, the inept governance will continue.
But then, the US government was specifically designed to prevent the catastrophe of people not knowing what they're voting for.
