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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

What progress could they possibly be thinking of?

And then there's the classic lib thought process that criticizing or not voting for Dems means voting for Trump.

What could he do - pass a law through Congress?

Not that he would have even if he could tho, the Dems are beholden to the illuminati/whatever the same as the Repubs.

Still, it could have been MUCH worse, arguably, under a Trump second term.

Nationalize gas? Civil asset forfeiture? Send oil executives photos of them taken from a predator drone? Use your imagination, he's the leader of the most powerful empire the world has ever seen, he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

Username checks out, but anyway he's still a servant to the people of the USA. Who are somewhat um... "divided" on this or any subject.

He's a servant to the ruling class of the USA. That's why he can't/won't do anything thats good for regular people

^THIS is what I meant, yes:-). The "people", as opposed to us mere humans who don't matter the tiniest bit.
