I think some leftist accelerationists believe that electing Trump will galvanize resistance the way it did 2017-2020. The ways that regular folks joined us, marched, and actually paid attention to things besides soccer practice was legit heartening and often helpful. I’m thinking about popular demonstrations against the migrant camps, organizing Covid relief and mutual aid, and generally saying “fuck this guy and his policies.”
But if Trump returns, none of that shit is going to happen.
-
Those would-be allies might conclude that all that resistance was for nothing, and give up. Especially if he wins an outright majority.
-
Trump is pretty open that he intends to use violence against his political opponents, and this time he likely won’t be constrained by any sort of deep state. Especially if he wins an outright majority.
That’s my thinking, but any accelerationists want to tell me where I’m wrong?
I think we should be able to all agree that voting for Trump is not a legitimate strategy for leftists. We’ve talked the issue to death when it comes to not voting for Harris, but I understand the impulse for a post like this to make sure we’re also on the same page of not voting for Trump.
Comrades, it should go without saying, but do not under any circumstances vote for Donald Trump
yep, as usual, nobody is doing that or advocating for it but you shit on dems enough and people just assume
