It’s more that incompetence and infighting might prevent an organized effort to destroy the world. Wishing them luck, that’s accelerationism.

“Accelerationism is when I hope incompetence prevents widespread destruction of society, and the more widespread destruction of society I oppose, the more accelerationist it is.” /s

I don’t think his admin will fall apart. It may be a stretch to get Gaetz through but Trump may well pull it off. He’s putting together some real delusional monsters.

I believe in democracy. This is apparently what ppl want. Trump is putting the people in place I’d expect, to pull off his campaign promise of a mass deportation (and so much more). Fucking sucks. I disagree. People are going to get hurt.

I don’t feel hopeful that resisting or rioting is going to stop the power of the American government. I voted for Harris and I don’t know what people that didn’t thought would happen. I will resist where I can and organize like crazy but I also read this story before. We don’t need to give the right a Reichstag fire.

Not “now” - I have been for years. Ever since I figured out that the US has no future - that the ruling class is already preparing to put down any opposition (that’s why we have a militarized police force and the largest prison system in the world, and that already, before Trump’s proposed detainment camps that are supposedly going to be built to hold undocumented immigrants, except that the undocumented immigrants are going to be deported, so self-evidently they’re going to hold someone else).

There is no way to make any lasting change in the US. The ruling class is too firmly entrenched and too out of touch, and frankly too fucking insane. They will, and already intend to, go to war to protect their grotesquely destructive privilege, and the nation will not survive that.

So the only hope is that our descendants will build something better out of the rubble we’re going to leave behind.

And again - that was already the case. Trump is just accelerating the process.
