Decay | When Men Leave, Institutions Collapse
from The Republic Briefing · host Carlos Reyes III
Saturday, May 9, 2026 • Today's Principle: Decay When a Georgia mayor fired his entire police department and left a community exposed, it wasn't just a governance failure — it was a symptom of the decay that fills every vacuum men leave behind. Today's episode applies the principle of Decay from Men of the Republic, Chapter 10, to the local public square: the town meetings, county commissions, and school boards where the republic actually lives or dies. The charge is direct — find a local government meeting, put it on the calendar, and walk in the door. Scripture: Romans 13:3-4 Today's Charge: Attend one local government meeting this month — city council, county commission, or school board — and begin exercising the civic presence that ordered communities require from serious men. — 📖 Men of the Republic — the book behind the briefing.
