When will these old, crusty white men go away? At some pont a sensitive electorite needs to reject them. And the "parties" simply have to be devalued, to be told, demonstratively, that they don't matter and they no longer control the game. Trump's installment (I won't say election, because he wasn't elected, he was "installed"---and the Electoral College should burn in hell, but, hey) should be all the proof any rational person would need. Americans need to take back control of their country, as they once did. And understand that those forefathers which they revere, were corrupt. They owned slaves. They owned fellow human beings. And apparently were not torn up about it. Which is troubling. And casts a rather large shadow over this "Land of the Free". It was for some. But not for all. And that is a big deal. Yes, even now. America cannot escape it's past. There must, at some time, be a reckoning. 
A nation cannot heal if it does not heal. If it does not try.
