The closest thing to a solution now is secession and that basically means civil war. It's not giving up to recognize that the American people have already lost, immensely.
It's also pretty reductionist to frame this as a voter apathy issue. "Well if people cared more..." No. When we're talking about the USA we're talking systemic failures of our systems. Mandatory voting has been around for centuries at this point, any party could have stood behind that but didn't. For as long as most of us have been alive the US system has been disenfranchising and blocking voters. Don't tell me it's apathy that got trump elected the second time. It's a system that failed.
