> If that isn't just the perfect description of politics in the US
Yes, but not in the way that you say.
Political change happens step by tiny step. You have to hammer the same point for decades to get somewhere. You hammer it by winning elections, by having better candidates win your primaries, by getting the news media, large corporations, and celebrities to virtue signal, by rallies, by protests, by sabotaging the system from within.
No single one of these things moves the needle on its own, but push on all of them, and your grandchildren may have a chance to live in a better world.
And yes, anywhere between a third to half the country will dig their heels in, and fight you on it, every step on the way on it.
