the_dunk_tank
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

We moved the overton window so far right that we now have to concede to far right policies to avoid moving it even further right! Vote for Biden if you really love Lenin!
"You dont have to like him you dont even have to agree with him as long as you vote for him"
"You don't have to support him as long as you support him"
What generous and benevolent gate keepers we have.
If conservatives pitched trump to liberals like that they would get laughed at and mocked horrendously.
At this point I'm not convinced half of them wouldnt vote for him to prove how morally superior they are then blame socialists when he won.
You joke but Clown Man made this argument years ago
If your goal is to move left then you must concede to the right and vote for right-wing candidates as they continue to move right.
It's getting more and more frustrating to me how these people twist logic by ignoring that things exist beyond the next election
Just ignore the several who owned slaves and campaigned to virtually annihilate indigenous nations.
Right?
It's a really easy case to make that Andrew Jackson was one of the absolute worst. Imagine thinking that orange man who says embarrassing things and does some shitty backroom dealings is on the same level as the fucking Trail of Tears.
These people are so white that they're fluorescent. They don't give a fuck about history or reality, just civility. They have a massive case of main character syndrome.
"Oh, what's that? The Trail of Tears is in the past? Cool! Does that mean the US has relinquished its illegitimate claim over the land since then and it can be returned to the traditional owners? No? So it's not really over so much as it is complete, in that case."
