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

Ironically, this person is probably deifying Trump just as much, if not more, than his supporters by claiming that his death would turn the tide of the Russia-Ukraine War and that it would have any pull on China.

Who will celebrating? The libs who blindly hate Trump will be the exact same "don't speak ill of the dead" people this guy is talking about. And Biden not going to the funeral? The funeral of the guy he got 90% of his policy decisions from? Of course he's going. They all will, in the name of "civility" and reaching across the aisle. Dems will attempt to return to "business as usual" with the republicans and will begin rehabilitating Trump's image before his body is even cold.

Then the weird geopolitics imagination-zone thing...it's just bizzare. It's interesting watching libs try to make sense things and predict things. They understand the concept of cause and effect, but also just kind of think that everything is related to the latest spectacle and always have to shove it in somewhere, and always with the outcome they want. They can't imagine that Trump dying would have 0 effect on Ukrainian morale (pretty sure they care more about not being dragged into vans and shoved onto the front line as meat shields than they do about an election on the other side of the planet). They can't imagine that wanting an outcome really hard has no bearing on whether it actually happens, even if they sacrifice Trump to the god of liberalism to do so.

Who would be celebrating? To be fair, we'd probably have a crab-party thread if that happened.

We would have a crab party for every single person currently or previously in the US government.

That includes Bernie. His crab party will likely destroy the site in one final struggle session.
