My handlers are asking me to tell you not to link/tag the comment or post, to prevent accusations of brigading obviously, but there have been a ton that should be added as new taglines for the site.

The one that prompted this post:

I'm fine with interacting with people of different ideologies and cultures, but I feel like the hexbears mostly just want to harass us "tankies".

Huh? Do you mean "liberals"? Hexbears are the ones liberals and leftcoms call "tankies"

From what I can tell, which so far is decidedly little, everyone is calling everyone tankies.

That's a good bit we should just start calling everyone tankies

I usually disagree with tankies, but Marjorie Taylor Greene has a point.

This is the one that got me.

We'll just use "tankie" the way most use "man", "woman", or "person".

Examples:

The firetankies put out the fire in the building.

The policetankie arrested that guy for a little weed.

The chairtankie of Lockheed Martin announced record profits.

The Avengers:

Spider-Tankie

Bat-Tankie

Super-Tankie

Iron-Tankie

Tankie America

The Incredible Tankie

Thor

Aqua-Tankie

Hawk-Tankie

And of course, The Green Tankie.

I think it should be like Smurf where it can be interchanged with any part of a sentence.

Also, I think TankieSmurf should overthrow PapaSmurf in the next shitty blue troll movie.

I really want to start calling people "dronies" but I feel like you need to start on hard Obama liberals then spread out from there.
