Never give up.
Those who were our judges are being bought by men who don't know us. We haven't supported our judges very well.
A significant number of those who were our Senators and 'Representatives' have already sold out. We haven't even watched them.
Our Presidents are well on their way to becoming tyrants. Who nominates them?
We know what we can do:
~ We can find ways to know who we are.
~ We can find ways to share more useful and trustworthy information which is meant to be real, true, and honest.
~ We can continue to educate ourselves in inclusive, effective, self-governance.
~ We can persist and thrive through our own honest actions.

A Citizen of the Republic
As a citizen of the republic I find myself unsure of the usual methods of effecting policy makers and planners. I find I don't have a practical way of knowing the standards of 'my representatives,' much less effecting them.
For example how can I keep informed what elected representatives are doing at the Federal level to promote scientific research appropriate to my health.
I feel ignorant and ineffectual. Is the tide so against the existence of a democratic republic so that it is best to forget the dream of having a functional republic and to go with the oligarchic flow?
