Liberals still believe in Great Man Theory.
If he died, another would take his place and wins for sure as revenge.
Now that he lived, he has excellent PR.
Biden is constantly taking Ls with his voterbase, like pursuance of Genocide and general brain melting.
Trump is constantly on the rise with his voterbase.
This is why Adventurism doesn't work, and why Leftists need to join an org like PSL and work towards building dual power.

Yes and no. We have no crystal ball, ultimately the material conditions for fascism are still present in the US, and they will not go away even with 10 straight DNC victories. America is a dying Empire, so reactionary thinking, trying to turn the clock back, is on the rise.
Leftism must become the status quo to survive fascism.
There would be some harm reduction, yes, and I would have probably celebrated had Trump been popped, but his replacement would be just as bad, merely delayed.
