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

A Liberal insurrection would have looked very different.

We would have escorted the original Broadway cast of Hamilton into the galleries. They would softly sing “History Has It’s Eyes On You” as members of the GOP spewed their lies.

"Mr Republican, sir, what would Alexander Hamilton say, sir?"

Republicans start to tap their heels, a few begin humming

All join a giant flash mob dance on the floor of the capitol

The community they feel that day makes them vote for love rather than hate

"Why are we giving the poors a vote? Also how much does a slave cost these day?"

We kinda did see what the liberal insurrection looked like in 2016: impassioned op-ed columns pleading for faithless electors.

that tweet is nearly three years old, why must I be subjected to it again?

[–] TheOtherwise@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait this was an unironic tweet?

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

No, look at her replies. I have no idea who this person is but it's very obviously a joke.

Oh lol

I remembered it being taken semi seriously around here ages back, so good that it is sardonic

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Because it hurts.

They would have been shot by the cops and I would have laughed

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

I hate that I can understand anything about this tweet
