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've had an interaction that pointed out posting Hunter Biden stuff (it was the cocaine and prostitutes news) is inherently pro Trump due to the connotations
I explained drugs and sex work should be legal and it makes Hunter cooler than any Trump or Obama.
And they went on to post that it was still pro-Trump in a different thread.
What I mean is "pro Trump" is a tenuous term.
1-Our trump posts are mostly about how funny that piece of shit is, which can definitely be confusing to people who are used to viewing him as some kind of singular harbinger of social decay. We dont view him with any kind of unique horror beyond the horror of his class, which can look exculpatory to bystanders.
2-The "2" party dichotomy is dominant in the US and the left has been deliberately dismantled over decades, so it's a common and easy misconception to think that
There is a lot of anti-republican sentiment, but maybe the person got unlucky and missed it
Don't get me wrong, I get it now, I'm just saying that when I first came to Hexbear, I was confused
