I would argue that the fail-safes implemented in the formation of our Republic are being tested. Yes, the beasts infiltrated and, yes, they will never stop trying to do so. We do need some reforms and loads more checks and balances with respect to government employees, the media, big tech, education, etc. Many citizens became too trusting and, while just my personal opinion, this was largely facilitated by a corrupt media which has manipulated society for decades. It's also my opinion that once the Awakening is "complete" (in a sense), it will be many more decades if not centuries before the beasts will be able to get even a toehold in society again. They'll study what is now their imminent defeat for weaknesses, most certainly, and plan another comeback, but we'll (hopefully) remain vigilant.

I'm curious as to what your ideas might be for a "different system". It's likely a massive topic and one you may not be inclined to delve into at this point in time. It's always interesting to hear other's perspectives on what changes might be best for a healthier society.
