What can we learn from the 1ste Trump administration and the upcoming 2nd one? The rise of fascism? Children in cages? Targetting trans people? It's all true, but that's not it.
Besides their culture wars, what we need to remember is that Trump 1 was all about deregulation (less protections for workers, consumers and environment) and the lowering or eliminating taxes for the billionaire class. A transfer of wealth from the poor, the old, the sick and the workers to the inimaginably rich.
And here they are again, the Zuckerbergs and the Musks. The lesson is that it will never be enough. The billionaires see it as a zero sum game. They will never stop until they have it all. And they will kill democracy and the environment on their way. Taxing billionaires out of existence is a matter of self preservation of our species.
