Not to worry, if the world plays out like a sci fi TV show we will be! And it will be eerily accurate and relative to the timeline of events that lead there in said show
A federal republic is a federation of states with a republican form of government. At its core, the literal meaning of the word republic when used to reference a form of government means a country that is governed by elected representatives and by an elected leader, such as a president, rather than by a monarch or any hereditary aristocracy.
We have a Republic in name only, oligarchy politicians like the DNC and RNC only represent the monied class in government. We are left to fend for ourselves.
While I don't want to discourage anyone from contacting their representatives, mine refused to show up to a rather large town hall meeting. Went so far as to refuse to respond to all inquiries from multiple parties and news media whether or not he would attend. Over a thousand people showed up by my estimates to address their grievances to an empty chair.

Manufactured opposition, performing one of the most crucial tasks to facilitate the fascist coup.

We should be living in a golden age of knowledge and science.
Instead we get this mockery of life.

You had democracy? When?

I can't recall when we've had democracy or a representative government
