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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

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 mean of course this event fuels trumps campaign - it's an event that centers on trump. Is it helping him win votes relative to Biden? Who knows, we'll find out in the coming months

Its 2024 and networks still give Trump a ton of live air time and most run of the mill Democrats still act like all of the bullshit they're throwing at him is going to stick somehow. When someone is given such a large platform all it can do is rally their supporters.

The only thing I can say is they're giving air time about Trump, but not to him. God I want to hear him talk about this. But it's projecting himself that did Trump the most good, if he's being talked about but mostly silenced idk if it'll have the same effect

IDK. They had his reaction to the case on live TV, which gave him more than enough of a chance to speak to his followers and rile them up.
