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

Trump is a psychopathic cult leader running a campaign of lies, defamation, and retribution. He aspires to be the US’s first authoritarian leader, and wants to turn the nation into a nuclear armed Switzerland.

This is one of the funniest liberal panics I've ever read. Usually they'd compare Trump to Mussolini or Putin or whatever, not Switzerland lmao. Authoritarian Trump is going to force the economy to focus on chocolate and cuckoo clocks. He's going to nuke America's greatest and oldest enemy, Austria.

First we'd never nuke austria we'd nuke germany so get that one straight, second cuckoo clocks are german.

It's pretty funny but I'm not surprised switzerland is basically a signifier especially now after being drip fed 'switzerland bad' because they have a slightly less aggressive stance on russia, switzerland bad because doesn't recognize Hamas as a terrorist org and so on and so on.

Also I guess they had to break out the one 'white country' so it doesn't come off as racist, like I'm pretty sure the person wrote banana republic or third world country first but wisely used switzerland here.
