Not when we have a political system that selects for those most likely to be "elected" instead of those most likely to be "great leaders". Or, in an era of limited individual bandwidth and unlimited information, our main legacy media outlets continue to try and champion their inside person.

Goes beyond us electing the politicians in my mind. I hear you though. We do have the power to change it. But how to convince such a large swath of people to rally around an outsider? They're demonized immediately by those who are comfy on their "team" despite sometimes agreeing more with the outsider.

Tough situation

It will correct itself eventually, but it's going to take America's fall as a superpower to happen. Usually the countries with the best overall system wins and gets out on top. America's sytem worked great for a long time, but recent decades has it tripping over its own shit. Like China or hate them, in recent decades, they went from empowering most of their horribly poor citizens into a middle class lifestyle, and continues to increase in power. Not saying that an authoritarian style is the way to go, but these other countries are highly coordinated, from citizenship all the way to the top.
