People were fighting back against police brutality, seizing cities and turning them into autonomous zones, and seizing profiteering grocery stores and turning them into food banks when Trump was president. That all stopped and everyone went back to brunch the moment democrats took full control of the federal government. Since then, social murder through covid, homelessness, and police brutality have continued unabated. Abortion rights have been killed with no meaningful resistance despite plenty of forewarning. Unions have been crushed with bipartisan support. The harm normalization achieved by democrats is just as terrifying, if not more terrifying, than the harm acceleration achieved by republicans. Both branches of the capitalist party will always do everything in their power to prevent harm reduction.
