Yes, unfortunately Trump is just a more recent symptom of a deeper systemic problem. When Trump is gone, there will be another authoritarian, potentially a more competent one, that will slide into his spot.
I honestly would prefer Trump to helm the Confederate's side of a 2nd American Civil War. He is the avatar of stupidity, infighting, and unchained greed: these are great for making a society fall apart, and I would like conservative society to crumble into dust.
More competent at governance, surely, but able to cattle-drive the fuckwits en masse? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
