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

He's such a big evil apocalyptic threat that you dumb idiots have to hold your nose and support a genocide to stop him, but also no we won't just drone strike him and in fact I will be personally calling him to say congrats when he wins.

It all meant less than nothing to these people, and anyone still defending this is unsalvagable

Where they all not just panicmongering about the new unchecked power of the president and what trump could hypotheticaly do with it... and now they are just not going to use any of that to stop what according to them is the biggest exsistental threat ever? do libs not see anything fishy about this ... and I am not JUST talking blue team libs but also the red team libs?

Obama extra-judicially killed American citizens. Surely Hitler 2.0 is a bigger threat than a 16 year old?

I took a VERY small peek at ~~reddit~~ stormfront just now.

There's a Jimmy Kimmel crying video upvoted w/ 20K likes on the politics sub.

First comment is along the lines of "I saw voters interviewed and they're so fucking dumb! They didn't even know who was running!"

Yeah, Americans are ignorant dinguses. Welcome to America.

If they want random Bob on the street to know who is running and care then maybe, juuuuust maybe, the message can't only be "Nothing will change. Everything is great already! And if you don't vote for me, America will be Nazi Germany! But no, I won't actually do anything about the guy we call Adolf Hitler. That would be wrong!"

It needs to be "Trump bad" sure, ok. Then also a few bare minimum first 100 days promises. Trump promised the hogs escalated deportations, killing drug dealers, finishing the genocide quickly so they don't have to look at it. Adolf shit.

Maybe the answer can't be "I will deport... less? maybe? immigrants for no apparent reason." It needs to be "Trump is following the same fascist logic of axis leaders during WWII. He's called fellow Americans, documented people living and working legally in the United States, vermin and poison. Instead of dehumanizing these people, I will be granting them citizenship which will be a boon to our economy and communities."

Instead of "Trump wants to repeal (shitty) Obamacare!" It needs to be "Obamacare was a start, but it didn't go anywhere far enough. I will be working in the first 100 days to lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55. With that done, I will work with Congress when possible, but go around them when required, to further lower the age of eligibility with an aim towards everyone being eligible."

Solid, plausible promises of things she could have forced through quickly with additional long term plans. You meet the promise, and if you get the extra part that's just free real estate for re-election...

But clearly liberals, democrats, have absolutely no desire to improve things. They only wish to go rightward... but do it "respectfully." When the SWAT team kicks in your neighbor's door looking for an alleged "illegal immigrant" that Nosey Martha down the street falsely reported to JD's Gestapo because he "looked a little tan"... liberals want the agents and cops to say "Please, drop to your knees with your hands in the air, motherfuckers!" as they flashbang the baby crib and, of course, shoot Fido 5 times in the chest with their MP5.

didn't she call trump a fascist? Why is she giving power to a fascist?

Biden is a segregationist? Trump is a fascist? Classic little jokes

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's such a bald faced admission that they don't actually care what he does, it's all performative. And I'm not just talking about Harris, all the libs cry "trump is a fascist America is doomed" yet go on living life like nothing is happening. If they actually felt threatened by it you'd think they'd organize or at least try and make the democratic party provide some legitimate opposition. Hell, if Harris actually thought that trump is the next hitler and this is the last election in America why not drone strike his ass?

The last few years made me understand Nazi Germany a lot more tbh. I (naively in a lib manner) used to not understand how they reached the point of gas chambers and concentration camps and thought it was essentially an aberration and that we could and would take "never again" seriously. Watching the rise of the Fourth Reich (arguments could be made that amerikkka was already the Fourth Reich but I digress) has made it clear to me that the majority of white settlers ~~would be~~ are apathetic to death squads rounding up "undesirables" for mass murder.

made-it-the-fuck-up "We're ALL fascists, jack! You mean to tell me you thought I truly cared? I only care because they all think that soft, fat, weak New Yorker is STRONG! I CAN BE BETTER!!"

-Kamala's campaign strategy, apparently

"That's how democracy ends, not with the sound of battle but with a congratulatory tweet."

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

She's a fascist too so it tracks

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 week ago (2 children)

In a better timeline "peaceful transfer of power" would mean cutting off power to Washington DC and then doing something really funny while all the phones and lights are out

Never cared to hear what she had to say, care less now.

Genocide still bad.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 week ago (12 children)

Fucking coward. No morals. Believes in nothing. Handing everyone over to the wolves peacefully.

Biden could legally kill Trump, if he wanted to

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (3 children)

And still might! Not as some kind of political decision, mind you. This would be purely dementia related. Hell, he might still kill Kamala Harris. Anyone near him could be that lucky someone he suddenly considers a scary stranger and just unleashes his dogs on.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Dog kills Cop is such a bizarro-world headline.

She's so happy that she lost and now can pretend to be against the genocide.

Buh bye loser

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

We must accept...

Dem electeds will be saying that a lot the next four years.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

She can go back to her security fortified mansion while the most vulnerable suffer. This was always the plan.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

That’ll show him

It’s a big club and you ain’t in it. You meaning the non-rich.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

She was smiling, laughing and overall looking so fucking pleased with herself during her loser speech.

She always finds new ways to make me sick.
