The DOGE kind of stuff is the only serious attempt to begin dismantling that unelected administrative grip that has gotten a stranglehold on our representative democracy.

Yeah, let’s go back to a time where four men controlled most of the wealth in this country. Maybe my youngest son can finally put down his Xbox controller and get that job in the mill he’s always been after

For #^&#^&#^&#^&s sake

Actually today’s population is roughly 3X what it was in 1910 so we could make it a dozen rather than 4.
Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, Elon Musk, Steve Ballmer, Larry Ellison, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Jim Walton, Rob Walton, and Jensen Huang are worth 2 Trillion and that’s a greater concentration of wealth than at any time in American history.
In the past fifty years these same people have gained control of retail, housing, healthcare, media, heavy industry and manufacturing which they offshored.
Left alone they will set it up so our children will be born in a hospital they control, attend a for profit school, rent a home, get information from an entity they control, get food from a corporate farm they control, bank with an entity controlled by them but at least it won’t be socialism.

What's that got to do with your question--"I guess then a simple question is, under Trump is the country moving more towards Hitler or a representative democracy"?
