It seems many of us have been waiting and waiting and waiting for something to happen to hold the deep state traitors accountable, drain the swamp and defeat the global elites. Trump winning the election in a landslide was huge and gave me great hope, but I’ve lost count how many times I’ve hopeful and nothing happens. Feels like the precipice has lasted 8 years with little happening. Is this just how it is? Or are big changes coming?

Lots of intelligent, well thought out, nicely constructed points in you reply. Thank for communicating you thinking to me.
First thing I though of when I read your line, "the end goal which the hero of the story may not even live long enough to see", was I got a vision of two labors working on building the great pyramids sitting together during lunch break when one of them says, "This building is going no where." But then five generation of workers go by, and we have a pyramid. If you stair at a minute hand on a clock, you can't see it move, but look away for an hour and it's gone one full circle. Live with a child, and you can't see them grow without putting pencil marks against a door, but go away for a month, and when you return you scarcely recognize them.
Maybe it's the same with us who daily stair at the latest new, events of what is happening. Things change in such small increments that we can't see the degree of change.
Given enough time, anyone's odds of survival goes to zero. If you think that your life will be to live a little while, then die, then fade into oblivion, and you are content with that state of affairs, that as good an outcome as any.
The most famous people ever to live, are just dust. Who thinks about John D. Rockefeller, who turns on a light in remembrance of Thomas Edison. Who when taking off on a jetliner whispers word of praise for the accomplishments of Orville, and Wilbert. Live life to the fullest, we've heard it said. Why? A full lived life, and the life of a do nothing vagabond both are forgotten equally over time.
Disclaimer: At this point in my life I am at a low water mark in my feeling about the "life matters" thing.
I do have faith in Jesus Christ, and believe the only part of this life that matters is our faith, and our lives lived by faith that get us into the eternal.
