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

Once again, every JD Vance story I hear involves him somehow putting down his children or generally being a bad dad. And that's the stuff I hear out of his own mouth.

I wouldn't want any kids near him.

I feel sorry for those kids for real

Am I missing something? This doesn’t sound like he’s shitting on his kid for playing pretend, it sounds like he’s shitting on young trans people by equating a child with gender dysphoria with a child playing pretend.

I assume he thought it was a clever joke to call his own children "batshit insane" but it kind of sounds like a Freudian slip. After all - he's describing the normal fantasy life little kids have. Plus there's what UlyssesT said.

He's using his kids to provide a negative example of behavior that he thinks shouldn't be taken seriously.
