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.

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

The utility calculation is dead simple

I want to know what kind of backup plans these people have in mind, if it really is so important that Trump does not become president again. I'm just saying, if enough people refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of injust laws (y'know, like the explicitly undemocratic ones which let Trump win last time) and carry out disruptive protests (at the bare minimum) against it, it becomes harder for that law to stay intact. Which is kind of important, since there hasn't been much success in getting rid of terrible, unpopular laws through the "proper" channels. It doesn't even interfere with voting, so it's not like they have an excuse to not plan for that.

I've never heard these people talk about what the plan is supposed to be if Trump gets elected. If it's such a dire emergency, what's the contingency? Do a liberal January 6th?

Changing their profile pictures in protest and sending $50 to the Democratic party.
