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 [email protected]

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

This former coworker who moved out to New Mexico from Florida came back to visit and when we were hanging out he brought up how securing the border was the most important thing. When I asked why it was so important, the reasons he gave were criminals and drugs.

The guy said he’s a liberal democrat

Of the many things that have changed over the years, liberals running so far right of their old stances on that is wild to me

I remember when they attacked Bush for his deranged waste of money building a wall

Now their guy is doing it and a solid chunk of them are right behind him on it

It's literally just reflexive.

Chuds say Biden supports open borders and they can't help themselves but go "actually he's doing way more at the border than Trump did..... why are people who didn't like trumps border policies mad at me?"
