It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The funniest thing about this to me is the complete lack of self-awareness. Like, obviously, this is a photo op meant to demonstrate his gun bona fides, which we now know he utterly lacks. But...couldn't he have asked, literally anyone for advice? Personally I have very literal practical experience with guns (although I somehow know more than this dumbass), but if I were a politician doing something like this I would call up a buddy who knows their shit and be like, "Hey, dude, can you give me some pointers so I don't make a complete ass of myself?" The fact that he clearly didn't ask for (or listen to) any advice before doing this and no one stopped him really speaks volumes.
