I recommend reading The Republic for Which It Stands: The United States during Reconstruction and the Gilded Age [1] if you'd like some hope.

All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again. It's mostly just part of the cycle between labor and capital. Teddy Roosevelt vs Bork. etc

If anyone honestly feels this way, I invite them to read The Republic for Which It Stands [1] by Richard White which is about the post-Civil War era and the Gilded Age. Everything from the political division to the growing income inequality looked a lot like today - worse even! - and the author specifically points out the similarities throughout the book.

This has all happened before, and it will all happen again.
