That is the point. We need to harness the conscience of the American people for political purposes. Just as Trump harnessed the power of bigotry and hate, we need to harness the power of decency and love.

The Indian revolution that threw the British out of India, plus the civil rights movement in the US in the 1960s

To me, the tyrant is unfettered and unregulated capitalism. It's not a switch you just turn off. Economies in Europe that are hybrids of free market and socialist forces are working. Why not that, Peter?
