The change you appear to want is a dream from our past. Trump may just be the catalyst for the change that is coming in America. The sooner that reaction is set off the quicker it will be over, but it won't be nice. The Civil War and the Civil Rights Revolution were not nice, but instituted positive changes that had to be made if our nation was to survive. We are living though a similar moment.
Trump does not represent change. I am sorry but I do not see any progress in the nativism he espouses. And even his supposed health care alternative to Obamacare seems to be a watered-down version of said Obamacare rather than single payer.

Trump is not about a progressive cause like the ones you mention. Not about ending slavery and Jim Crow.

And I would not call the Civil Rights Movement not nice. If I am remembering correctly those that were killing and using the water-canons were those opposed to civil rights not the ones that were for them.
