Did you vote? If you voted you started fixing it. But like I said to weyrlady, that's the low bar. It's the minimum expectation if you really want to fix stuff. Are you taking classes this semester? Find out if your campus hosts a chapter of the college Democrats (or, if you can keep your tongue between your teeth, the college Republicans - sway the party in power from the inside and all that). You live near DC - protest! See if there's a Democratic meetup in the area. Work with your city government and learn the ropes. Follow the links I posted and see what other people are thinking of. You don't have to jump in the deep end today. You just need to start asking what you want to change and how you can best cause that to happen. This isn't going to be fast or easy. But change is going to happen, if people say they want it to. That's the only way it ever does.
Fear is not an excuse. We're all freaked. That's why we're asking what we can do. And no one's in this alone - force your friends to come with you when you do this stuff. It's more fun in groups anyway.
