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

The funny thing is that on paper it would be very easy for the Republican Party to gain voters and continue to get everything they want.
But they always end up going down this route of appealing to a shrinking Evangelical radical base. The anti-SJW movement was the best thing they had in years and turned it into a joke with their “woke” obsession.
The problem with the anti-SJW grift was always that there were like 5 videos of 3 different activists that kept going through re-runs, at the end of the line there wasn't enough fuel for the fire of outrage that it fed upon.
True, but I think the emergence of Antifa helped fill that gap. I remember when “Antifa destroyed by patriots” would get millions of views. But even that was mostly repeated clips of the same four or so knockouts.
