Make it way worse quicker, so more people become friendly to the revolution.

Why would people join a movement that is making things worse right now? Why would you want to race towards increased state repression when your movement is small? Accelerationism isn't a good idea in this situation, and it's hard to think of a successful leftist movement that employed it ever.

The reason democrats don't like shooting fascists is because they are have bought their own lies about the current system working

Agreed. I'd say this makes Democrats useless at best (at least with respect to the "uh so what about all this fascism we have going?" question) and enablers at worst.
