Yep. Some of the worst dictators were hatched during times when
things looked grim. Economic depressions, wars, droughts, invasions,
plagues, crop failures, etc all provide real or potential dictators as
a solution to the problems.

Whatever the cause, bad times seem to give the people a reason to give
power to dictators instead of allowing the chronically ineffective
committees to hammer out a workable compromise.

What I find amusing is how the US leadership is using such problems to
promote their agenda. Going into 2024, the economy was in good shape,
unemployment was tolerable, inflation was a problem which could be
solved and there was no crisis available that needed a dictator to
solve. The Trump/Musk solution was to create a crisis that only a
genuine dictator could solve. They begin to dismantle the federal
government in the name of "efficiency". They continue to destroy the
federal government until it is completely ineffective (and therefore
efficient). In other words, they create a situation from which only a
fearless leader can save the country. Of course, the only available
dictators available are Trump and Musk who will surely offer their
services to fix the problems they had caused.

Yup, The big acceleration started under the Bush administration with the
TARP act, continued along the same trend then eased slightly under
Obama, took another sharp increase under trump (covid pandemic) the
eased again slightly under Biden. Trump added more non-covid debt that
the entire debt added by Biden.

We'll see how happy you are when Musk decides you don't deserve your
social security or medicare.
Apparently, the far left media still has a few followers.
Apparently the far right still maintains its world view by ignoring all
relevant facts it dislikes.
Actually, I know a few people who are far right and even they
occasionally tune in MSNBC and CNN for a good laugh. Perhaps people
like that are the majority of their audience. Politics should be fun.
Like me (small "L" libertarian), my moderate democrat family members
and friends don't bother with TV mass media much any more. I do enjoy
Greg Gutfeld, though. I record his show and "The Five" on Fox News,
because like I said, politics should be fun.
As for facts, one person's facts can be another person's "one-liner."
