Which the voters in majority voted for as they considered stuff already wrecked for them


[flagged]


To be fair, people were saying this about voting for Trump back in 2016, that he was their "bull in a China shop" and they didn't care what he did as long as he wrecked the establishment. It's basic accelerationism - destabilize the system and force radical social change through the chaos. And it seems to be working.


a small percentage of Trump voters are accelerationists.


A much larger percentage would seem to sympathize with the accelerationists' goals, even if they're ignorant of their methods.

Some things are too fundamental to be simple "disagreements" in a society. Disagreements over slavery led to the Civil War.
