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

MODERATORS
Do less genocide.
no
I read Biden's family actually complained he did so poorly in the debate because he was "overprepared".

I did my best. You're all fucked. I'm gonna go die now, bai
I saw some libs freaking out over this.
Like no shit, the guy that enthusiastically supports a genocide abroad doesn't care if queer people are being targeted domestically?
no way 
It is kinda jokerfiying to see the guy who I'm being told will "save us from fascism" just not give a fuck tbh. I think its good that they're freaking out. Maybe they'll come to some realizations.
Also the turbolib in the reality tv server I'm in tut tuted people for being upset about this and said "the interview is fine" so there are worse lib positions lol.
Maybe they'll come to some realizations.
"Maybe they'll come to some realizations" #723
I work with a lib who at times I begin to think is finally listening, a week later and we're back to square one. You can only talk to these people once a day at best, Reddit is for all of 24 hours a day every day. You'll never beat the all day brainwashing.
You'll never beat the all day brainwashing.
Did we not all beat the all day brainwashing here though? I mean I personally am an ex-lib.
Fair enough, I'm perhaps being too pessimistic; the lib I work with is very depressing in how he falls back into the stuff being spouted online very easily and I'm probably extrapolating far too much.
if his material conditions deteriorate, he might think back on things you said
That just means you haven't found the thing that speaks to their soul yet, just something that they agree with on a surface level and doesn't incept them with a will to unpack anything personally. For me my de-libining came after 2016 when I read what the groypers were saying and thoroughly read intellectual dark web stuff and saw that the lib brand of alternating snark, hysteria and patting themselves on the back for being the "decent" side was completely toothless against and ignorant to these rising political currents.
All of the Democrat messaging I saw felt designed to make them look good only within the parameters of right wing framing, and depended on taking the right's bad faith arguments at face value ("I thought you loved the troops but now you're attacking Gold Star families? Busted!"). I saw how the dirtbag left didn't mince words when talking about troops or back down when another self-righteous fake outrage campaign was started by the right, I saw Richard Spencer get punched once, lose the majority of his following and disprove the notion that the "marketplace of ideas" was the best antidote to hate, and I never looked back.

Liberals better start trying harder to win people over then
That’s not in their DNA. They’re misanthropic by nature.
They gave it their all.
You did not give it your all, because the Supreme Court just gave you the OK to kill him, and he's still alive.
Proudly clutching my participation trophy for "resisting fascism" as I am lined up against the wall saying "hey well I did my best and that's what this is really about"
If Trump is a fascist (he is) that you want to fight against (
) then fucking dronestrike Mar-a-lago, you fucking pussy. It's literally within your rights, you coward.
Libs walking past the armed guards on their way to the internment camp:
"Good game." slap "Well played." slap "Good game." slap "Good game." slap

I tried so hard and got so far
It always got under my skin how they just don’t really seem to want to win. It’s like they expect the base to handle everything, including having the will to live
It's even worse than him just saying "as long as I did my best". He's saying that the election is literally about him doing his best. I guess it's also just nonsensical mumbo jumbo that he probably didn't really think about anyways but still.
Save da world, my final message. goodbye
Most people would lose their jobs if their boss asked them this and they responded like that. Good thing the president gets to be completely vibes based.
this rules
"I fought the malarkey and the malarkey won."
same day:
Not slavery, not Nazis, not the civil war...
Orange man.
Orange 99% Biden, no less.
That’s fucking wild. This should be shoved in the face of every lib you know because even if it was truly the way he feels he should have at a bare minimum asserted his power in saying either vote for me or that’s what you’re gonna get or something like that. The democrats are just fucking losers in every respect.
Isn't there like an actual chance he, personally, has some bad shit happening to him if Trump wins?
Yes,
He's acting like a delusional Shakespearen villain and will meet their common fate if he doesn't get his head out of his ass.
I stand before you, not just as an incumbent candidate, but as the chosen one, who has ascended to the highest office despite the naysayers, the doubters, and those who think me unfit.
They speak of my mistakes, do they not? Laugh at my missteps, whisper of my cognitive decline in the corners of their grand halls, thinking themselves so clever, so wise. But what do they know of power? Of the art of governance? They see only the surface, the fleeting moments of forgetfulness, the slips of the tongue that they so eagerly label as signs of weakness.
Fools! They call it dementia, but I call it divine providence, a mask that hides the sharpest mind, the most cunning intellect this nation has ever seen.
And now, here I stand, at the pinnacle of power, a second term within my grasp. They underestimate me, dismiss me as a mere buffoon, a relic of a bygone era. But I will show them. I will show them all.
Let them question my worthiness. It matters not, for I hold the reins of power, and with them the fate of the West. Let the world tremble, for I am its leader, its ruler, and my reign has only just begun.

My friend, watch out ! you're insulting the lord and saviors of every libs 😨
The NYT transcript makes it even funnier:
I’ll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about.
