Technically correct, but you clearly have no idea how bad life can get.
If Trump’s second term makes things awful enough to facilitate actual change, “awful” is gonna have to be a lot worse than anything we’ve ever seen.
That’s already the case

It isn’t. Not yet, at least.
Most Americans still have jobs, can afford food, can find food, and have their cars and homes. Some have lost some of the former, it’s true, but not enough to ignite any real change.
Imagine a scenario of Trump enacting martial law and beginning to mass arrest and imprison US citizens in detention camps. Not immigrants, refugees, or tourists - actual US citizens taken from their homes. Imagine the US government gathering troops on the Canadian border. Imagine the government disappearing members of the Democrat party. Imagine the government enacting a China-styled internet blockade.
Those are the things that will likely spark some kind of call for change.
