The entire alt-right movement is based on not wanting to change. In fact, they want to roll back society to the pre-Civil Rights era.

It doesn't just work that way. You can't snap your fingers and force a society back 50 years to a time when abortions were banned and open racism was expected in many corners of society.

The apathy around our entire society is based around not wanting to change. Who really wants to get up and go to a rally when posting on Facebook or a message board gives you immediate and visceral feedback?

It's going to take people actually getting angry enough to physically do things to "take back America" for the people instead of the motivated minorities (and by this I mean racists and those who are happy with the current state of mass shootings).
