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

How fucking hard is it to remember that Hitler never won an election? It's such an integral component of what happened in terms of even a lib understanding of "It could happen here".
A lot of Amerikkkans think “democracy” and “electoral politics” are synonymous with the Congress/Senate/President model of the U.S. So they have no way to process how a minority party leader can end up being prime minister/chancellor. Thus, “Hitler must have won the election if he was leading Germany.”
I’ve even heard the “explanation” that the Nazis won a majority but not a plurality because Germany had so many parties, and that’s why third parties are a bad idea.
I think only the inverse of this is possible
Probably got the terms mixed up
Well, Hitler got rid of third parties. And second parties too.
