Yes, the Republic has been lost. As I posted before, emotion will triumph over reason. Tyranny will be the result.
I suppose tyranny is OK, if you are the tyrant==if you get to make the rules. Our Founders had lived under that system, and rejected it. They gave us a republic---if we could keep it. Well, we couldn't.
