So you think it’s good that a GOP rep who voted to impeach trump just retired because of constant death threats and now an even more right wing GOP chud will replace him?
That’s the practical effect of all these reactionary threats and violence: they get more power.
It's unambiguously good that bad people are afraid for their lives, yes. The practical effect of literally everything in American society is more power accruing to reactionaries, it's a reactionary society to the core
I want people’s lives to be as good as possible so i think it’s good to have the least reactionary people in office so things can be marginally better since there’s no revolution in the horizon right now.
I guess it is accelerationism, in some sense. The acceleration is happening whether we want it to or not, so we might as well enjoy what little comforts it offers us, eg, congresspeople living in fear for their lives.
I also want people's lives to be as good as possible, and having less reactionary people in office might help do that, but that's not going to happen. Ever. America is turning right and it's going to keep turning right until it doesn't exist anymore. Dancing on the graves of the politicians who get merked by right wing psychos is one of the few pleasures this offers us, so I don't see any virtue in abstaining from it

Is this accelerationism?

You’re probably right but that doesn’t bode well for our survival. You may be celebrating cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Yeah, our survival is fucked. I guess celebrating this type of thing is a coping mechanism of mine.
