Only I can defend my rights.

No other entity is capable of making the ultimate sacrifices to accomplish the irreplaceable necessity of maintaining an individual's sovereignty.

If a citizen, or their precious family can be destroyed by the destruction of their reputation, credit, identity, livelihood, or even, sustenance in a "system" in which bankrupting counsel is required, then refusing to self-defend - for whatever reason - is capitulation. And capitulation analogous to surrender.

We need not defend a corrupted Constitution, but rather the ancient state mottoes which were pledged and yet stand:

We dare defend our rights

Nothing without Providence

Live free or die

The people rule

Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain

By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty

By valor and arms

Under God the people rule

To be, rather than to seem

One sows for the benefit of another age

Thus always to tyrants

All for our country

The modern Deep State can not be overcome with paper, nor a eunuch congress, nor wholly-owned judiciary. And if you believe that a stalwart populist is one of many yet to come and can stand in the gap indefinitely, then you deserve what your inaction bought for you!
