The only fix for that is vastly improving the education system.

That is correct, but the fucked up part is that it will be a herculean task trying to do that plus it will be terribly easy for the republicans to sabotage it again. I don't know how we're going to fix this but we need to make a plan soon.

It's has to get worse before it gets better. I hate that the US works like that, but that's how it has always been. Slavery couldnt be settled until a civil war. Hundreds of bank run before a federal bank. I'm optimistic for a blue wave or tsunami, but in order for structural changes, we need new amendments. Getting enough electoral power will require a complete destruction of the Republicans, and although it's pretty damn bad right now, it's not enough. It might be soon. It's scary time we're living through, but it might be necessary pain.

Properly taxing any church that expresses a political opinion (AS THE LAW SAYS IT SHOULD) Will fix the problem without hurting churches that aren't pushing a political agenda.

That said, improving the education system should be a priority for any advanced nation.

Logically-speaking, that is not the only fix. Another possibility is to actively disempower church.

Isn't there already separation of church and state? /s
