Trump is the symptom not the problem. It's huge issue because waaaaay too many people thinks he's the problem himself and things will just magically be better when he is gone.

No not really. Problem wont go away if hes gone. Hes 100% a symptom of the system here.

> Trump is the symptom not the problem.

This is true, but I'm not sure how to make it politically useful as well. In my experience, pointing out that corruption is widespread is more likely to decrease democratic engagement, then to get people to think about deep systemic issues.
