Been on the 'inside' and have discovered how The Republic has been effectively overturned by the Corporation Governments which have superseded each of the Original Jurisdictions.
I can fully agree with 'Q' and the 'Anons' who have seen the light. Corporate Politics is naught more than a game of 'power and preservation' as you've said. The Trumpster has brought some new angles into the game and hopefully the rot will be rooted out.
Enjoy the show. It's going to be going on for quite some time yet.
