Donald Trump is a symptom, not the problem. About half of US citizens voted for that clown. Twice! Unless people fight for change - away from the two party system, you will always have the situation that people vote "for their team" like it's some kind of sport. People are emotionally attached to their team (both sides).

Even better idea than voting would be Lottocracy, but that's very hard to implement because a government would have to make laws that would make most politicians obsolete.

Thrice technically, he just lost the popular vote the first time, and the popular vote and electoral college the second.
