Unfortunately there is no easy answer, but there is no doubt that if judges are elected, they are nothing but politicians in robes. They don't answer to anyone except the voters, so they can flagrantly violate the law as long as they do it in ways that the majority in their local community approve of.
In California we have both elected and appointed judges, and they're both generally shit, because Gavin Newsom is doing the appointments, so it seems like he appoints nothing but far left POC women. It's been like this for a while.
With elections, you might get a Republican judge in a Republican county, better than Newsom, but then you tend to have the same "politician" problem from the other side, though in general Right wing people are nowhere near as "activist" so you don't see much bullshit coming from them.
Judges should be fired if they ignore or violate the law. Unfortunately there is no mechanism to do this. As time goes on, politicians and the D/R political parties are ensuring that judges become hyper-partisan, but the Ds are much better at doing this than Rs. It's fucked up and it is resulting in idiots becoming judges because they check boxes and will be loyal leftists. I'm telling you that a number of judges I deal with in Socal are stupid and unqualified to a frustrating degree.
One wonders how you can have any optimism at all. You sound as screwed as we Eurofags are.
Look at history, back to the late 1970s. Look at the Jimmy Carter years. It looked very much like now. Then Ronald Reagan showed up and there was a strong backlash against the libs. You also had Thatcher and others. The 1980s were the most based decade since the 1960s. It took the Left 30 years to rebuild their strength. It was only in the 2010s - that mirrored the 1960s - that the Left was truly resurgent and powerful.
The Left is objectively wrong. You and I both know this, but the Left also tries harder, fights harder, and is far more motivated than the Right. The Right, always complacent, smug in its superiority, slumbers and waits until the Left gets obnoxiously powerful until it finally wakes up and swats the Left down again.
The Left was triumphant throughout the 1960s and 1970s last time. This time, it has been a much shorter time period - and interrupted by Trump - before the backlash has begun. This has two fundamental reasons: (1) the Left is more impatient, aggressive, and accelerationist than before. 2020 and BLM and "defund the police" all the sheer lunacy since then proved that the Left wants a fundamental overthrow of society NOW and they're not willing to play the long game nearly as much as they were the last cycle. (2) Even though most people are stupid and forgot the lessons of the past, at least SOME people remember, and so people are catching on and the backlash is coming faster now.
I have no doubt that, in the end, the Right will be triumphant. It is only a matter of how many iterations of libtardism we must endure until the liberals become insignificant enough to be ignored. We might live long enough to see 1-2 more cycles after this one. Every cycle, the Left will get weaker.
The Left represents a test against human fitness, just like COVID or any other disease tests your health and immune system. If your society is weak, Leftism will destroy it. People like us, you and I, have an outsized role to play in the societal immune system that defeats Leftism and forces it into remission again. We have to keep fighting and not stop until the Left is defeated. That's all.
