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

how is this a bad take, lmao. it isnt happening because those guys are his team, and that team is called team liberalism. to note: the czechoslovak communist revolution began through usurping the executive branch, and its a valid way for communists to come to power, if rare. you can even argue nepal is on a similar track.
You're thinking of the military as this force that is blindly, personally loyal to the president. The military is not that politically uniform, and the only foreseeable president a chunk of them might go to bat for is Trump, and there are all sorts of separate problems with thinking Trump could purge the military then become a dictator with the remainder.
Say Sleepy Joe orders an Army unit to enter the capitol building and execute every Republican -- are the hooting chuds in that unit going to say "yes, Mr. President" and do it? If Biden orders a drone strike on the the Florida gubernatorial mansion, is the lib officer (who joined because he thinks the military is a force for good) going to do it? How is the order to effectively start a second civil war going to go over among a rank-and-file that's looking around and wondering who is on which side?
i mean obviously joe isnt going to do this, as i said, its team liberalism. what i am saying is that if there were, by some arcane technology, a socialist president, then odds are there are many socialists in the military and likely have even infiltrated intelligence agencies to some degree. the move would be to purge the military and do a soft revolution. this isnt a likely scenario for an imperialist country, but this has happened in history to federal governments in the past. whats more likely is a socialist governorship does similar with the police and militia of the state, but that is still unlikely.
