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

When the shittiest person you know is just spitting bars
That kinda stuff is why he won in '16
He's a stupid piece of shit, but at least he doesn't have decorum or pretend it's not about empire and money. In a just world he would be in a pit. But all the other politicians run around thinking about decorum and civility and triangulators and hemm and haww, and then there's Trump who has figured out that if you call Ted Cruz a nasty weirdo shitbag, then people will like that, because that's what we would do. At least he somewhat resembles a human being.
Libs will hear him say this and gasp and look around the room waiting for everybody else to gasp too. "Can you imagine she should face consequences for being terrible? And he's terrible too! Doesn't he know that?"
Edit: Shane Gillis has a bit about the first debate with Trump which is pretty descriptive.
