I'm not even making a comparative Dems vs Reps claim and I'm certainly not saying we wanted Trump so that we could do accelerationism. I'm hust saying that under Trump, popular discontent is substantially heightened, classs consciousness is on the rise, and radical organizing is quickly getting bigger and stronger. Things are accelerating in both repression and resistance. Being prepared starts with having that understanding.

Yeah nobody here was arguing Trump would be better, just that it was an inevitability and an opportunity

And not a done deal, either! This is an opportunity, but it's a narrow one that the movement could totally fumble or that maybe never fully materializes. But the chance is there and we have to act on it. Moralizing about what might have been under Kamala, or maybe we could be more prepared, or whatever - irrelevant. We are Marxists. We work from the real material conditions that currently exist.
