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 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

They are celebrating their last coup attempt

The temper tantrum on Jan 6th was barely a coup attempt. There was no leadership, no real plan of action, and no point to simply squatting in the capital while representatives - scared out of their minds at the mob - rushed Biden's certification through that much faster.

The fact that they are comfortable, detached and stupid

They're not the ones who are getting picked up and slapped with criminal charges by the DC Area DA's office. These were the clowns calling the Jan 6thers "Antifa" in the first hours of the riot and then quickly disassociating from them because of the embarrassment. They're only cheering it on now, long after the dust settles, because its an easy grift and a fun little fantasy.

It was a full on coup attempt in which people stormed the fucking capitol and threatened to lynch politicians. That the people behind these insane movements are getting away with it is not proof it wasn't a coup attempt, it's proof of the same shit that the nazis getting a slap on the wrist for the beer hall putsch and their elite supporters getting off scott free was.
