Or an authoritarian propped up by popular and powerful monopolistic corporations to which otherwise capable people depend on for their jobs.

Isn't that basically what every modern government is regardless of dictatorship vs democracy?

Priority #1 seems to be defending state moneymaking interests and state adjacent/intertwined BigCos

Priority #2 seems to be expanding their own power

Priority #3 seems to be micromanaging in social issues at the behest of various special interests to distract from #1 and #2

Keeping us all from keeling over from heavy metal poisoning or whatever is way, way, way down the list unless it bleeds up to #3 for whatever reason.
