The thing to learn is that there's no hope to be found in the 'democratic' system that's in place. It's going to get worse, not because we didn't vote for the genocidal fascist with the exact same policies as the other uncouth genocidal fascist, but because of more fundamental forces are going to continue to play out either way. It's about getting past that step in 'what should I do' to the next one.
