I don't see any reason to be discouraged either. The sheer amount of effort the regime spends on purely symbolic attacks should tell us everything about what it's really built on. And even the crimes that are tangible can be fixed just as tangibly: A civil service fired in a matter of weeks can for damn sure be rehired even quicker.

"The President of the United States, ____________, hereby orders that all federal employees terminated from service by Donald Vladimir Trump are reinstated to said service if they wish, and back pay awarded to them. This action is in recognition of the illegality of their termination and the honor of their work for this nation. America offers its apologies to them for what they have been through, and hopes they will pursue their work with renewed vigor and determination."

Or something like that.
