Nothing we could possibly do could make things worse faster than what the liberals are doing to themselves. All we can do is try to help some of them see what they've become, and show them an alternative exists.
a lot of the we could do would make stuff worse faster because of the backlash. maybe you could get away with if trump wins but liberals are so civility brained i wouldn't count on it. Nobody to the right enough to be on TV or the NYT opinion page would be willing to say "actually it's good he's dead", maybe hasan would get banned from twitch over that take.
Big assumption there that folks would break our way and not the fash way. If things fell apart right now we would be fucked. Long way to go in the way of education before the left is ready to capitalize on instability
I'm not sure emotions really have an ethical valence at all. You can be happy or sad about whatever you want without it being blameworthy or praiseworthy. I don't think it's ethical to actively make things worse, though.

Is it ethical to be somewhat glad (not sure if this is the right word) as things get worse, as it necessarily turns people to our viewpoint?

Good point, I guess I forget how many idiots and chuds would happily cheer in fascism as things are today.

This. Ethics is a system of rules to follow for cya reasons. It's not much to do with personal beliefs and morality.
