What institutions are left?

Elections, to start with.

North Korea has elections.

All of the ones that matter, just because the current president doesn't fit your ideals, doesn't mean society is collapsing.

All the doom-gloom feelings does not change that objectively and statistically the US and world is better off now that anytime in the past over long periods of time.
