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

A sampling of some comments:

Bruh I got bad news for you if you think trump is going to do anything but help himself.

WTF? This is a horrible comic. Republicans in Congress are the ones preventing literally all those things from improving…

Fascist is a word with an actual meaning. I know it’s fun to call the democrats fascists, but that’s incorrect and ridiculous.

The worst offenders were, of course, from dot world. I wonder if lemmy.world has their own Jessica Ashoo on their admin team? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Don't Be An Asshole vs Don't Be A Pussy thesis

"We're gonna have kids in cages on the border but you don't have to be an asshole about it!"

"We're gonna have kids in cages on the border but don't be a pussy about it!"

"We're gonna ship weapons to Israel to bomb Gazan children but we don't wanna be an asshole about it!"

"We're gonna ship weapons to Israel to bomb Gazan children but we aren't gonna be pussies about it!"

This is the extent of the "acceptable "American political landscape
