Reactionary accelerationists want a local war of some sort so they can grab war powers and then roll back all the US's post-WW2 social progress (and most of the New Deal too).

My understanding is accelerationists or liberals to go full hog so that they can go "see".
For my entire life, the US's idea of "liberals" is extremely small-c-conservative, Chesterton's fence style.
The Republicans may wave the "Conservative" flag, but they're the only ones I see going full-hog on pretty much anything.
That said, pre-Trump Republicans were milquetoast in comparison to what has happened over the last 13 months. Assuming US democracy doesn't collapse before the next transition of power, I wouldn't want to guess if the next Democrat government will continue this trend or be as full-hog in disregarding all checks-and-balances constraints on executive power to get stuff done.
Do you remember when the Democrat Party arrested Trump? Do you remember when they put J6 people in prison in solitary confinement for a year? Do you remember when they locked you in your house for a year? Do you remember when they fired people from the military for not having forced medical procedures?
"yeah but I agreed with those"
