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 extasy:

i-voted

Do you remember the ecstasy of eating the entire lie, wholeheartedly, eyes wide shut?

My inconsiderate (for lots of reasons) upstairs neighbor ran barefoot down a November street yelling "IT'S OVER! IT'S OVER! TRUMP IS GONE!"

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago

And with that election, a mighty cheer rose up from the people of the United States

They had banished that awful Trump forever, because he was rude

Now let's all celebrate with a crisp, cool glass of turnip juice

I remember them being like "You don't have to like it, just do it" which is what most of the people I know who voted for Biden did

Nobody was excited except the ghouls and the turbolibs

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago

No, but what I do remember is a lot of "I know things aren't going to get better, but we should be allowed to celebrate that things aren't going to get worse."

America, Land of Mediocrity, where spelling doesn't count, but your pets do.

It was the happiest day of my life. I remember walking into the polling station with a “FUCK TRUMP” shirt and watching all the conservatives cry. Then I went into the polling booth, and as soon as I voted in Biden I came all over the machine knowing how much I OWNED Trump. Every surface of my house is covered in Joe Biden wallpaper, my children included. I had to pull them out of school because the MAGA teacher had a problem with them only knowing the words in Biden’s speeches, most of which were “meaningless.” I’ll do whatever I can to save democracy. I went to the Capitol building on January 6th to fend off the FASCIST insurrectionists who almost stole the American Dream. But, heh, we know how that went. Four more years of DEMOCRACY and CIVILITY are coming!

Unrealistic. Libs were shocked and completely surprised by it despite it openly being planned on the internet.

I had my girl-dick in hand as I was filling out the ballot.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

I didn't even need a pen

biden-horror even he doesn't remember Jack

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'm sorry. I don't remember any of it.

biden-horror You don't remember?!

For you Biden's election win was the most ecstatic moment of your life.

For me, it was Wednesday.

One of the biggest critiques leftists and anti communists have for various socialist governments is that the leader stays in power past anyone’s approval and without training successors, so that leaves room for a power struggle between various factions

Here we have Biden refusing to let go or even supporting any successor who can speak competently or more popular with voters. And this is under what liberals call a transparent, democratic, free country. Their own party members are silenced because for whatever reason, Biden must win both terms. Biden’s legacy and ego are more important. Tens of millions of democrats, and only Biden meets the criteria to lead a country. Incredible.

ruthkanda-forever Someone doing incredible damage by clinging to power for egoistic reasons rather than doing the politically strategic thing? Couldn't be the democrats lol

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago

I literally woke up that day to people woo-ing out their windows. I lived in a very lib part of a very lib city. I can understand being happy Trump was defeated, but like lol look who's replaced him, another ghoul.

And I still don't forgive those same hooting rASScals for producing the most annoying sounds every night at .. 8? to, uh, honor the healthcare workers with screaming and banging pots and pans, which surely filled their hearts with joy and did NOT upset my roommate's dog, putting those more musically inclined it*lians to shame for their lackluster songs of beauty and solidarity

I think I masturbated that day

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

I know I did, but not because of how I voted.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I remember my boss at work telling me they were at a restaurant that erupted into celebration and popping champagne bottles and were so happy about it and asked me if I was happy too and I couldn't help but just saying, "Meh." The fucking look of shock and disgust on their face.

It really didn't help my working conditions. I should have lied. Libs...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

The Soviet workers had a saying, completely peculiar to their culture and representative of the pathology of socialism, "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Nah man I remember how it took a couple days to certify the whole thing and how it just kept dragging on, reminding me how I keep voting for shitty Democrats and expect things to be different

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

I remember everyone on my socials really giving a damn about politics every day until Biden got elected.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

I mean, I did cum a little. :/

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I've done both Esctasy and voting for Biden and they are not at all the same.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

All I remember is getting off of a derailed hype train, tuning out and not paying any attention to the election after flattened-bernie got ratfucked and then instantly caved to Biden.

Wave upon wave of cum as I inserted my ballot into the machine. They had to mop the floor after. Everyone clapped.
