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

You know you're right when you have to conjure increasingly abstract metaphors and allegories to illustrate your point

Okay, but imagine Joe Brandon was a banana with a worm in it, but trump was a literal piece of human feces, and according to the rules of this scenario you absolutely have to eat one of them, no other options. Oh and the joenana is dipped in human feces, but it isn't itself feces, so obviously it's still better. Oh and the one you don't choose to eat now you will probably be forced to eat later, but that's still preferable to now, right?

Okay but imagine this banana is actually a bus going to Albuquerque. No one wants to go to Albuquerque, but the other bus, the piece of human feces bus, is going to Boise, Idaho. You're obviously gonna take joenana bus to Albuquerque

Okay but
