Liberals beg for the obfuscation of power through democratic politics.
Trump strips that away to reveal politics as pure will to power. Which shows radicals that all power comes from the barrel of a gun, as Mao said. Which must be good for the world if power under capitalism is seen more clearly for what it is: as the ruthless competition between members of the ruling class for control of the rest of us, the enslaved populations of the planet.
