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

If Trump is a fascist, why aren't Democrats doing everything in their power to stop him? Why aren't they stuffing the court? Why aren't they going after his states? Why aren't they kidnapping him and breaking his knees? If he really is a fascist then there is no excuse for taking the maximum amount of action to stop him. If you could prevent Hitler coming into power by offering free college to Weimar Germany, wouldn't you do it?
"But if we cross the line then we lose something as a country and damage our democracy!"
Okay so if playing by the rules puts us in a situation where fascists can win and non-fascists lose (twice) then what good are the rules? Why are you okay with preserving the status quo if it results in fascism?
Like, at some point, you have to start thinking about stuff further than memes you see on r/WhitePeopleTwitter.
I mean I'd just vote for 99% Hitler; someone like Mengele or something, and you just KNOW Mengele was much less than 99% Hitler. Everything would've turned out okay.
If you think about it, Hitler probably prevented someone even more evil than him from taking power, so everyone who voted for him was actually doing us a favor.
I've seen people unironically say Hitler was the worse choice for Germany because he was a bad wartime leader and that's the only reason
