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

Trump would also directly kill Muslims (I'm not saying vote Biden btw, but Trump does go all in for Israel)
Yeah, I also don't buy the arguments you see floating around here that Trump was better than Biden, even limiting it to foreign policy. Like Biden, he did basically what the State Department wants, except more recklessly (see: Iran). Trump was better on North Korea (in a way with no direct material impact) but worse on Cuba (in a way with direct material impacts), and we can only speculate as to whether he would have gone through with the Afghanistan withdrawal like Biden did.
Just pointing out how Palestine has cut the legs out from holding up the Muslim ban (which IIRC was blocked by courts anyway) as some big scary step in the wrong direction. Biden's ran way past it.
