Better here means better for leftists and the world ig, but is it better if the Americans are divided in politics or if they're united on something? what's better for organizing and them joining unions etc... historically has it been better conditions for unions and Communist organizations when the Americans were divided or when they were united?

The US is already fascist, there is no real divison in US political parties on that issue, it's all infighting. It can be good for factions of the US bourgeoisie to be at each other's throats over stuff like deindustrialization while simultaneously trying to sneak out with as much copper wiring as they can strip out of the walls, because it makes it harder for the US to enclose and exploit peripheral countries. It's the infighting itself that's a good sign, but people make the mistake of thinking they ought to side with right-wing opportunists who are likely to abandon all promises made in demagoguery.

Still it is funny to hear about stuff like Trump finding out the fed isn't actually under the govt's control LMAO
