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

Liberal dems are an inch away from liberal republicans. Trump not following the usual kayfabe is their problem with him.

Liberals were happy enough to get their hate-on against George Bush and Dick Cheney when they were in office. Its only after leaving office that they got hagiographies and a proper white-washing. That's instrumental in the "We may be facing the last election of our lives! Vote like your lives depend on it!" electoralist hysteria.

You need to purge people's brains of the transient follies of the last administration in order to convince them that this time is the MOST IMPORTANT moment of their lives. We aren't living in an era of decline. We're always at a tipping point and only you can help please send $15.

That’s what a lot of them are, Republicans who got alienated from the GOP due to the neocons implosion and the religious right’s fanaticism and went to the Dems.

It's not that. They were always an inch away. Obama himself admits that he would have been a republican when Reagan was in power.
