...I have no idea how you would even begin to resolve the issue.

For now, we must encourage all of the younger people to vote. The younger people are, understandably, frustrated by the current American political system. It can be changed with more participation over time. Doing nothing (not voting, etc.) just worsens the problem.

The far right GOP knows all of this and makes it difficult for anyone to vote. They use tactics such as gaslighting in order to cheat their way into office.

That would hopefully prevent a bad government, but I'm not sure how to actually resolve the ideological issue. People who hold those beliefs won't stop believing them. At least not quickly.

I'm not sure how you would make them see reason and reduce extremist beliefs. Otherwise, we're just constantly trying to deal with a sick population
