Just as one man is not the problem with this country, one will not be the solution either.
The Dotard sure seems like the disease, and much of the popular narrative is framed that way, but he's just a symptom. The US is a sick, rotten society. Trump is a manifestation of that sickness, and exploits it, but is not the origin of it.
But the same is true of the other side of the coin. One person won't save us, one person won't make us better. A cult of personality cannot last long enough to do what needs to be done. We don't need a hero to rally around, we need a cause or principle to rally around -- which can outlive any one candidate/office-holder.
