I would like to mitigate your opinion with the fact that throughout history, it was people with “leftists” ideas that allowed for a fairer society and most social rights, nowadays they are the one doing most for international justice and climate change, making them all accelerationists when a lot of them literally put their lives in jeopardy to make the world a better place for people they don’t know all while many democrats and liberals laughed about them because “tomato sauce on a plastic case in a museum is silly they should be put in prison for 5 years poor painting” or “some leftist didnt voted for kamala and now many palestinians get annihilated, love to see the pain on their face”.
I guess lots of things must change…
Also how do you know most leftists didn’t voted for Harris? From all I know the loud anti Kamala crowds has been amplified by foreign actors like in 2016 to make it look like it was a majority and divide the democrats further as well as reinforced gerrymandering policies. Let’s remind ourselves that Biden had 4 years to put trump and his corrupted goons in prison yet did nothing, the left has never ever been in power throughout the existence of the US putting the blame on them for trump is silly as they are the last barrier of protection before full blown fascism.

You are writing fanfiction here, I don’t think any serious leftist wants things to go sour for the US. As a leftist from outside the USA i often warn that the moment America crumbles we will all be struck by the sharpnell. If you take up some actual leftist literature, say some Noam Chomsky, some Baudrillard, some Felix Guattari, the overall feeling is " the contradictions of capitalism will mount and things will get considerably worse. " a lot of them suggest ideas on how to prevent these maladies, I’d recommend Guattari’s “Cartographies of desire” but sadly the USA seems like is on it’s full speed on course to ruin: facism in it’s government going progressively shameless, the over finatialization of it’s economy, the fact that political division and misinformation has been a strategy to undermine democracy used by both political parties, Oligarchy being so eager to turn “feudal” and several crisis of education. Things will get bad not because leftists wish it so, but because it will seem miraculous if they get better.
Either way, Americans have never cared whst leftists have to say. Their mere words will not change your reality.

I’m not writing fanfiction, I’m taking online dialogue from self-described leftists at their word. Now every individual is different, maybe a bunch of these were misinformation trolls calling themselves leftists. Maybe they were exaggerating and they don’t want the entire US to fall, they just want to get rid of NATO got carried away being edgy online. I get whiplash from how fast the script can seemingly flip sometimes.
I was told over and over and over again that full blown fascism in the US was better than secret fascism. Maybe from trolls, but I heard it over and over.
