Neither is going to lose. People are too comfortable. They have too much to lose to join a fight like that. Its delusional to think otherwise.

The largest protest movement in US history happened under Trump. People aren’t that comfortable, and you yourself probably believe Trump is going to make a lot of people very uncomfortable.

And that protest movement accomplished nothing.

They burned a police station down. That’s not something people do when they’re too comfortable.

It was a revolutionary moment, there just wasn’t an organized political force or party to take control of the situation and push forward an agenda. It was merely more of the same leaderless horizonalism that characterized the 2010s. That shit doesn’t work, but that doesn’t mean nothing else was possible. We won’t have a revolution just because people are uncomfortable. It requires organizing, which is what we should be doing right now and immediately after Trump steals the election.
