Who will pick up the pieces?

If we think the last 2 years have been chaotic, and they have been, the next two years will be even worse. Where do we start to put everything back together?

We have lost leadership and respect around the world. Our country is divided between the mentally competent and the mentally incompetent. The incompetence is bordering on mental illness. There is a price to pay for ignorance.

Where do we begin?

First of all, we need to remove the money from our political system and restore integrity to our institutions. That will be no small task. Will the present Democrats be up to the task? That is an open question.

We don't need a president as much as we need a leader.

Yes, get rid of money in politics ( and Citizens United). As for presidential elections: GET RID OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE! All the Russian meddling wasn't what ultimately put Trump in office.
