As I begin to write this article, the US Department of Justice just released the full report from Robert Mueller's inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

It's been a story that has been complicated, damning and somewhat fatiguing all at the same time. The words "collusion," "Russia," and "Mueller" are all words that probably make us all want to bash our heads against the wall.

I haven't had the chance to read the Mueller report (and probably never will — it's over 450 pages long), but from my understanding, it apparently claims that Trump said he was "f*cked" when Mueller was appointed to investigate him in May 2017.

Coolio.

Though it's interesting in all of its glory, the Democrats right now are hoping that this novel — divided into two volumes — is going to be the ultimate key to ending Trump's presidency and things will immediately go back to normal.

But sorry, folks, that's not the way it works.

Even if the Mueller report ends up cutting Trump's time in the White House short, it still won't erase the toxic system that put him there in the first place. What this report has shown us is that money still continues to be the largest voice in our democratic system.

Not once has the Republican Party ever uniformly denounced Trump as a product of foreign interference. Nor has the party ever denounced the Russian influences that have created and normalized fake news on social media, creating a vacuum of radicalism that has seeped into the GOP.

If we ever want to go "back to normal" from this Trump nightmare, we cannot rely on Robert Mueller to be the endgame for the struggle. While there is potential for the Mueller report to amplify a broader conversation about the origins of Trump's power, a 450-page report alone isn't going to magically revert us back to when politics wasn't a sport of shock.

At the end of the day, it's on all of us to challenge the status quo and change the barbaric society we live in where intolerance continues to rise at an alarming rate. It means stepping out of our comfort zone and doing what is right, irrespective of the consequences that might ensue.

While you should be focused on the Mueller report, do not devote all of your energy into it. Instead, diversify your energy in a way that can help bring about change that no man or law in Washington can bring about.
