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

If Trump is really a wannabe fascist dictator just throw his ass in jail until he dies. Why hinge the whole thing on whether or not Biden wins?

Because if they throw one president in prison it's a slippery slope to the rest of them being held liable for their many, many crimes.

You just did a fallacy there sweaty maybe-later-kiddo

That’s what they do with their politicians in the Australia of Discworld, they arrest them right away because it saves time

Liberals insist that republicans are fascist, taliban, compromised by foreign agents, undemocratic, and evil and that only the Democratic Party can protect democracy. Yet they will still allow the republicans to operate and hold contests with them every 2-4 years.

One party communist government? BAD!

Convoluted “liberal democracy” where you allow the people you consider undemocratic terrorists to hold power and negotiate with them for bread crumbs even when you’re in control of the country and military? GOOD!

They also jack themselves off for trying to be bipartisan with the aforementioned 'terrorists' too

bipartisan

I absolutely hate that word in english. I grow up reading and hearing that "partyzant" is a guy who kills nazis and blows up their stuff. Bipartisan should be just two of them. And now every time i hear that word in english it's always US ghouls agreeing on some ghoulish shit.

I’m a bipartisan in the historical sense of the word: I’m a partisan from both sides
