So why'd he do this? Forced or are they playing an angle? Election performance art shit?

It costs basically nothing, allows libs--particularly white ones--to pat themselves on the back for being part of Team Good™, and injects a small amount of positive coverage of the administration into the news cycle. Plus it's an entirely irrelevant issue to current day politics to the point that not even many right-wingers would particularly disagree with it.

Obviously it's deeply insufficient in terms of addressing any of the actual harms done, but you have to dive fairly deep to find any media coverage of that, and even then it consists pretty much solely of quoting Native American groups saying as much.

The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

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.
