Since the republican idea is based on traditional thoughts and cares about the individual instead of the majority, then the possibility of its sense in the society is very low. Meaning there might be some republican thinking among the community, but not very common. The force that work against it is our own thinking, because in our day we have many freedoms that allows to favor somethings over others, so we have liberalized thoughts. The republican have a more conservative manners. Wrong is wrong and right is right. We might be one of the reasons working against it even if we didn't know that what we disagree upon is a republican idea. This is not an answer, but I thought looking at things from a different perspective might help. Sorry I couldn't provide much help.
