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

Imagine being a Dem and not being able to beat this in the voting booth

You will move to Arizona and vote blue no matter who

I would simply not move to Arizona. Mostly because of climate change, but that's a good reason too.

One of my friends' grandmothers is a pentecostal, which is one of the sects that does the "speaks in tongues" thing. Apparently her favorite riff is to go "RRRRRRUUMBA" with very rolled r's. Now I go "RRRRRUMBA" to myself sometimes when I am alone lmao.

religious excitation is wack. it's hard for me to look away.

there's this YouTube grifter guy that sells subscriptions to his list of people he "prays over" and also sells PDFs of instructions on how to make holy water to spray on oneself, around the house and neighborhood to cast out demons, etc. he posts literally everyday and has all these near gibberish verbal tics that fire off. comes across as very much a "drinking your own kool-aid" kind of situation.

in a better society these people would be diagnosed and treated instead of allowed to exploit others, cause trauma, or in the case of AZ, apparently run the statehouse.

I hope at least one of them hits their head on something and dies.
