1. Is this a non-answer?

The first obligation for each of us is to see it and name it. The next is to figure out what to do about it.

I think it's more likely, given the circumstances, that

• The people lead, with powerful demonstrations and actions (like shutting it all down), and then
• Unifying leaders will step up to marshal forces.

The political system is designed around leaders, as in business and armed forces and even sports. There is no "pure democracy" but here is (there must be) coordination.

Alternatively: Independent groups uncover the Trump-Epstein sex, blackmail and money-laundering empire, the worst in recorded history, especially now, the money trail as Senator Wyden is doing. It may fall to foreign nations (give or take their own leaders being implicated) and the criminal empire and all its enablers, Johns, and guardians (This means you, Mike) fall down.
