I agree with you. We had a republic if we could keep it, but we couldn't. That doesn't mean we willfully gave it up. We were cheated and lied to, and people in authority were bribed, threatened, mind controlled or murdered. We have been paying a pack of liars to enforce the law and we had no idea the corruption was total until (in my case) the Podesta emails. Most of the nation still has no idea and trusts CNN. If as Q says, it is up to us civilians to finish this, then we will have to forsake our lives, families and friends and go to war. It isn't getting done by being nice. But we will need our $1.9 trillion military budget back, all the weapons and equipment, the quantum computers, intelligence, and years of training and practice that we paid for, and all of the millions of paid employees who won't help us are fired.
