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

The republicans are just about to turn into the Taliban, forcing a dystopian theocratic hellscape on you and stripping you of all your rights.
What should you do about it? Well, obviously you should vote for the people who wants a strong republican party and want to put republicans in their cabinet so they can get "good ideas" from them.
These people are not going to do anything to stop the republicans or to break their institutional power out to handle the socio-economic ills driving support for the republicans. But somehow voting for them is all you have to do to stop the republican Taliban.
I’ve used this argument on my lib friends plenty of times.
You bait them with “Trump is an evil christofascist, right?” or something of that sort, then follow it up with
They usually just get really dismissive and holier than thou but it’s still fun.
