I think this moment could be analogous to the moments before the French revolution. The elites don't realize how much they're hated everywhere.

Who cares if it's r or d if it's the same ruling class pushing the same policies, and both irrelevant next to the omnipresent unelected, unaccountable bureaucratic class?

Absolutely.

110 years ago there wasn't even an income tax in most countries around the world, and today blue collar workers can see over 50% of their last dollar going to the state. Also, 110 years ago the world's major currencies were backed by gold and so inflation was limited and sometimes currencies even became more valuable.

This omnipresent state pretends it helps to eliminate wealth inequality, but the wealthiest person on earth today got most of that wealth by virtue of government largesse and rather than by virtue of the relatively tiny number of cars he sells. If it isn't by direct payments (though it often is -- how many direct subsidies or payments for different products or services have come directly from the massive governments to make the world's richest man so rich?), it's by constant inflation which cuts down the working class's wages and savings and ultimately makes the ultra-rich even richer by sending that excess money into mega-stocks.
