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

Yeah man I'm sure a young woman is going to want to vote for the guy who took her reproductive health away. Yes, yes I know it's for Kamala, but tf does Trump offer to women who don't want the handmaid's tale?

Self-loathing is a hell of a drug, and white women like the superiority and privilege that comes with their status under white-supremacist patriarchal structures.

Temptations to be "the good one" for profit or adoration are a thing. death-to-the-poor

I think they call those "pick-me"s now

Even "progressive" white women will have blind spots. They'll turn into the most rabid of fascists when it comes to foreign policy or have serious hang ups regarding LGBTQ+ people.

It'd be remiss, though, to ignore there being a good chance the leader of the white patriarchy will be a mixed woman of color. Isn't living in the rainbow Weimer Republic fun?

the leader

The President of the United States is probably just as ceremonial as Zaphod Beeblebrox at this point — to draw attention from the true rulers of the US. They seem to do great at that.

from experience... it's just culture war addicted fascists or plain old indoctrinated from birth religious conservatism
