While in general yes, all past successful attempts at revolution have exploited a situation like this (arguably a socialist revolution is even impossible without parts of the ruling class warring against each other) such an optimistic scenario hinges entirely on there actually existing a deep split within the American bourgeoise. Ultimately we have no way of truly knowing if this is the case (unless we have some high ranking insiders here).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is about to be a revolution itself, but that it is a passing revolutionary moment that could be exploited for the goal of revolution if the forces that wanted it were strong and organised enough. I don't actually think either the left or right are strong enough to exploit it, not for the goal of taking the entire US, but I do think that if the above plays out then it is the greatest opportunity for gains that has been seen within the US within the entire period since ww2.
Absolutely, the American left should be prepared anyway, if not explicitly for this specific opportunity then at least generally for the ones coming next.
