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

misinformation-for-pay that may have led to the January 6th Capitol Riot

It was a temper tantrum

It was a bunch of white people who were mad their guy didn't win

There was no secret conspiracy, there was no plan to undermine the USA

Just a bunch of jet ski dealers and hvac guys who refused to play by the rules they demand for everyone else

Also, I refuse to call it Jan 6, like it's something along the lines of 9/11

Hell, I might even stop calling it 9/11

It was also a temper tantrum that was talked about beforehand enough online that we all knew here they were going to go there throw a fit. Yet somehow no one else knew?

The libs want to call it a coup, but they didn't do anything to head it off, when people going there to have their tantrum talked about it online. Then the capitol police let them in and got medals for it later. Libs response to even this one isolated thing is so scatteredshot i can't even make sense of it.

"It was a coup, but yeah we'll do nothing and let Trump run again in 4 years - we're not AuThOrItArIaNs!" Libs are something else. They can't even stay consistent with their own lore lol

Yeah a lot of leftist groups put out heads up not to show up in DC that day because they smelled a trap
