Can we share comics with the Dunk Tank? It's certainly worthy of it, doing that classic Liberal trope of glossing briefly over the things the Nazis were doing to quickly focus on the ebils of gommulism. I only briefly skimmed it, it was really wrong about a lot so I didn't bother reading more but the characterization of the Molotov-Ribbentop pact as Hitler and Stalin being a twee partnership only for Stalin to be suddenly shocked by Hitlers betrayal is awful.

Tried to find a pirate link to share but it's pretty new and graphic novels are kind of hard to find online

splitting all ideology into "authoritarianism" and "everything else idk" is the true brainworm queen. all bloated, being hand fed by the others, and continuously reproducing.

why trump

I mean I know why but why. Liberals don't believe in the dictatorship of the b-...bad guys. Why does bad president make the country a dictatorship.

Because Trump broke the illusion of the president being respectable. While we've had inhuman monsters who abuse their power in charge before (every president, for example), he put it all in the open. Like it's semi-common practice to steal elections but Trump called for the election to be stolen openly, instead of having a bunch of staffers in suits break into the room where they count the votes in florida.

Because he's been the writer's podcast meal ticket since 2016 at least, as far as I can tell and they are trying very hard to make a connection where there isn't one, I'm pretty sure they're Russiagaters.

Gaslit Nation, hosted by writers Sarah Kendzior and Andrea Chalupa, experts on authoritarian states who warned America about election hacking before the 2016 election. Here, they take a deep dive on the news, skipping outrage to deliver analysis, history, context, and sharp insight on global affairs.

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.
