Me, in 2020, stupid as hell and incredibly sexy: Trump is clearly the accelerationist candidate.

Me in 2023, wise and punished, soul shattered and a husk of a man, but still incredibly sexy: wow Brandon is opening up a 3rd front for WWIII maybe Trump is the harm reduction candidate

I feel like there’s a ready-made Vince McMahon reaction meme here:

Voting for Biden because he’s the harm-reduction candidate

Voting for Trump because he’s the accelerationist candidate

Voting for Trump because he’s the harm-reduction candidate

Voting for Biden because he’s the accelerationist candidate

Before I moved over here from lemmy world I got yelled at because I told them Biden is the accelerationist candidate

Prior to the last few weeks I think that would be a somewhat crank opinion outside far-left circles, but now I think it’s a perfectly defensible position. It would be a funny bit to go around lib communities talking about how Biden needs to be elected to accelerate the end of the American empire. “Guys, I’m on your side. Biden needs to be the candidate. Trump just doesn’t have what it takes to do the kind of damage that another Biden term would do. Biden 2024!”

I have the grim point of view that neo liberalism will simply encourage a more competent fascist to win election.
