I think I’m misreading your comment because to me the two halves of it are contradictory. Handing the keys to the American empire at home and abroad to a bunch of incompetent ideologues IS an accelerant imo.
I was thinking of accelerationism in the sense of a purposeful worsening of conditions to spur marginalized communities into action. Things were going to get worse under either party, but it’s much worse when the western liberals are also putting their weight on the scale alongside the Democratic establishment.
Trump is going to have to fight protests and uprisings to enact his domestic agenda, but the Democrats would have enacted nearly the same set of policies while blaming it on obscure senate rules or another one of their rotating villains.

Then I guess I’m not so much for the acceleration of conditions as for the dumbification of conditions we’re seeing
