One pollster sees “flashing red” signs on youth turnout as Gen Z and millennial voters, who are not satisfied with either party, could again play a decisive role in the next election.
Which is a weird sentiment because the only natural outcome for the accelerationist views is either a fascist takeover or a popular revolution. We can all imagine how and what happens with the former. With a revolution you have groups of people with at least 2 very different ideas of what the country should be post-revolution. You have the far right Trump supporters who hate government and want a collapse; who will all almost certainly die or as Huffman put it “become slaves”. Then you have the far left who want to reform government to be actually democratic and fair (some of those probably want actual communism as well, which is it’s own schism).
So unsure how accelerationists who want a revolution figure this out. Even if a popular revolution worked, it would immediately break down into partisan fighting.
Accelerationists are like Huffman in that they think they’ll personally be fine and able to lead a political revolution from the ashes. They think they’re flameproof.
