I’m perplexed and terrified that so many US Americans are still expecting democratic structures to fix this. If (and that’s a big IF) the world makes it to the US mid-terms, do you really think it will go down as usual? What makes you think that? What makes you think you can wait for two years and then this will be suddenly better it over? The likelihood of successfully stopping this will only shrink from now on. Fast.

  Okay, what do you suggest? If by "democratic structures" you mean the voting system, I do expect it to fix this because that's how it works.
  If you're saying everything's over, it's all bullets and bombs from here (or whatever it is you're saying - I don't know what that is) then what's the plan?
  
  The longer people remain in denial about the reality of the situation, the harder it gets to fight it.
  
  I may or may not be in denial about the "reality fo the situation" - could you kind of spell it out for me?

  Well just one (of many) point of interest: Trump just took over the FEC.
  
  Seeing as the FEC has historically had the import of a stale fart, good for him I guess? What do you think he'll do with it?
  
  I think in this video are some good ideas that are still within the democratic range, but call for a political revolution:

  However, if these fail too, someone has to stop him at some point. The US political system has failed. It provided a criminal, mentally unstable moron with the power and tools to end the world as we know it. And he’s well under way, I might add. At this point I don’t think anything should be off the table. It’d be insane to let someone start WWIII just bc he has been given formal power and “there’s nothing we can do”. Of course things can be done. At the end of the day presidents are made-up constructs that can and should be terminated if that’s what’s needed to save millions of lives. The US need a new system anyway after this. So they might as well terminate it now. How this will look like? I don’t know. I’ve never started a revolution, but happy to support if needed. But, first and foremost the people of the US have to take charge of course.
