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

I've recently been cooking while my mom played the Colbert Report in the background. It's so strange to view the aperture that liberals see the world through. I don't really think about Stormy Daniel's hush money. I haven't thought about Putin sans that meme about him explaining the conflict with Ukraine. I don't think about Ukraine except that it's not my clown, not my circus. She caught me off guard when I asked her about the super bowl and she wanted the 49ers to win because she thought Taylor Swift would endorse Brandon in front of everyone if they did.

It's as if I have more in common with the Trump Thumpers because we're both talking about FBI conspiracies, warmongering, corrupt billionaires, and the like. But we're not in the same walled garden as the libs.

If you gave a chud that mistrusted the FBI, the MIC, and other institutions the ability to fact check their information, and a bit of empathy (this is the hard part), you'd get an alright leftist, at worst a Stupidpoler. If you had to give a liberal enough history lessons to get them to stop idolizing those institutions, you'd die of old age.
