"That [at Trump supporters] is where we should be focusing our disgust...."
I've always thought this way. Unless Trump makes himself Emperor, his time will eventually end. But those people who supported him, no matter what he did, will still be with us; and they will vote. So what do we do?
Being optimistic, I'd suggest having continuing mandatory adult education. School should never end. That would necessitate shorter work hours, at the same (or greater) pay; teachers would have to be paid what their job is worth, and treated as the guiding lights of our society.
Being pessimistic (or perhaps realistic), I'm reminded of what William T. Sherman said about Southerners, after the secession: "We are not fighting a hostile nation, but a hostile people....We cannot coax them, or meet them halfway. We must make them so sick of war, that generations will pass before they again appeal to it."
Here we are, generations later. The secessionists have passed down their ideals like family heirlooms. What are we going to do with people who are extremely ignorant, but believe they know everything? What can we do? They will vote. I promise. And they will pick the people who are worst for the nation, because they hate what the nation has become, and is becoming--which is a land of actual equality, where we seek to have all people as literally equal.
How equally has Trump and his administration treated everyone? e.g., the kneeling football players, the "caravan," LGBTQ, Muslims, or even the so-called "fake news," or Democrats? These Trump supporters are, quite possibly, a complete and total loss, short of mandatory education, or, maybe, some cult de-programming regimen.
