Class solidarity of the top 10%. They own the media, they want the Republican agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and whatever else make them more individually wealthy.

It's bottom ~70% who can't seem to figure out what class solidarity is

Nice guy and "nice guy" are two different things

The dictator thing doesn't mean much - the Chinese dictator seems to have the best interest of China, it's economy and it's people at the top of his priorities as far as I can tell, whereas the US's wanna be dictator cares about nothing but to enrich himself and his rich friends - not the long term success of the US or it's citizens.

I would happily resurrect Augustus and have his as the dictator of the US - but the problem with dictators isn't exactly the fact it's a dictator (assuming it's not a bad one), it's more of the fact that succession doesn't really work and you never know what you get next.

After Augustus, Rome had to deal with Tiberius and Caligula, then after Cladius, Rome had to deal with Nero. And so on and so on.

If the Republican/Conservative party wasn't so utterly broken and filled with the absolutely worst fucking people, maybe this democracy thing would work better, but here we are

Never underestimate the stupidity and mental gymnastics of conservatives

I can't speak to "emotional state", but the thottening is a real thing (I've spent weeks trying to stop having all these ass models from cluttering up my feed, it's impossible)

I'm convinced insta knows your a guy and will blast you with reels full of chicks no matter what you do.

Yeah, the Christ fanatics hate science and find science to be their bitter enemy, essentially

Right - first option survive the storm, next option... Murder? Steal? Pillage? (I'm stretching what you said, but it was implied). This is the very possible future we all might be living in, so again to OP's point about spiting your nose/face. Basically I find the moves of Trump to be catastrophic and the potential of where it might lead us is... Horrific

I'll take a stab at it:

• Local businesses will suffer across the board, might lead to this poor fella maybe loosing his already shit job.

-There won't be another job for him to take (see first point).

-He makes shit money so he has nothing saved up.

-social nets and government help is being systematically wiped out.

-It's the streets now, and for many others like him. Where does this lead? Massive uptick in crime, and a lot of crime everywhere. Everyone is fucked - those who currently care and those who currently don't care.

Shit like that, I'd probably not read too much into it. Some girls just like to fuck with people (people have been trolling before trolling was an internet term). She probably left laughing how she fucked with your head (yeah, some beautiful girls are fucking deeply ugly on the inside, and vice versa)

It's not like he really does anything except golfs, eats McDonald's, possibly gropes or sexually assaults young girls (some habits are hard to break - grab them by the pussy right?). He doesn't read, doesn't think - he basically signs whatever heritage foundation and his rich friends put in front of him to sign.

Looking at this through the lens of "how can the oligarchs benefit", it makes complete sense - Strip all government assistance, remove social nets, add tariffs that will basically kill most small businesses (think also farms, mom and pop shops, etc). Lead to depression, billionaires swoop in and buy up land/homes/business for pennies on the dollar (or just basically crush small businesses to get them out of the way). One couldn't design a better way to fuck over everyone and enrich the oligarchs
