 Are you mad? Trump is not a dictator. If this is your mental model of the world, I doubt we'll have many meaningful discussions, since we would not be able to agree on a common ground to establish any truth values of your claims.

Trump is simply an expression of democratic flatulence. A fart in the general direction of those who think they are the natural rulers of the world. Rather than a bunch of self important puffed up pricks. Fronted by the limpest dick ever seen in US politics.
The clown show will limp on through another decade or so I dare say. With the real sound and fury, signifying nothing as per usual.
Meanwhile in a far flung and recondite areas of society, some goodIdea™ will accidentally take root and flourish, despite the best efforts of Big Bureaucracy to kill it off, and come along to change everything all over again.
Followed by the usual panoply of people claiming it is a message from God, or Satan, was their idea all along, was never their idea all along, has deep and significant Meaning, or means nothing etc etc.
The most significant thing that happened in the 19th and 20th centuries was noting to do with sociology or politics. It was the simple use of fossil fuels that destroyed the value of Labour, as such. Then came computers, which rendered the clerical classes obsolete. Now we have AI, which is way smarter than Joe Biden.
Hey ho! R2D2 for president!
