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

Was this guy's public entry into politics talking about trump's "talent stack" back in 2016? I remember that phrase randomly entering like every news article I read.

He'd been doing and saying unhinged shit before that, but he was one of the few people to correctly call Trump's win waaaaaay in advance, which he took to be evidence of his genius insight instead of just a lucky call. It got him a lot of attention, though, and he's continued to ramp up the unhinged shit from there. He's the "Trump is a master persuader who is so charismatic it is basically magic" guy.
