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

ok but it would be extremely funny to just shoot trump dead in the courtroom

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

I was just telling my partner this

It would be amazing S-Tier shit

Which is exactly why it won't happen

It’s cute when liberals think they’re clever and act snarky when in reality they would shrivel up and shit their pants if they came across a button that would give Trump and only Trump a greasy heart attack

Okay but this actually makes me wonder: seeing as Biden is already overseeing a genocide in Gaza, why not just ban the Republican party or outright have Trump's citizenship revoked? Fascist yes, but he's already overseeing a genocide that's killed around 30,000 people, and the libs are promising us that Trump becoming president is going to be the absolute worst thing ever, so just have his citizenship revoked, or better yet, ban the Republican party and force conservatives to do better.

Yeah this right here is what I've been saying to liberals. If Republicans are such a threat, why not make it illegal to be one? Liberals think a society has to give fascists a fair shot at taking power or else...that's also fascism? I don't get what they want.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They want to lose and then gracefully accept that defeat.

It's the ideal state for liberals because it allows them to maintain the moral high ground but without the drawback of being expected to actually do anything.

This right here ^

Liberals think a society has to give fascists a fair shot at taking power or else...that's also fascism?

That is, i think, what most of them believe and more or less how they would seriously articulate it.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You see, the law doesn't protect brown people ~~on the other side of the planet.~~ So genociding gazans is just a difference in opinion and nothing more. (Except if you have the wrong opinion, then you're antisemitic)

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

If the Civil War tv series was even close to plausible - there would be no map. The libs would fight hard. But they'd so so with the GOP against us. It's better to get the best scraps that way.

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it would be funny in this particular case if some redditlibs got secret service showing up to their houses for threats made

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I looooove reporting libs on reddit for breaking their precious civility. I've gotten a decent amount of them banned, and even more comments deleted.

I know that won't stop fascism, but it pisses them off, and maybe one or two will self reflect and realize they're just completely sucked into some sort of media bubble that has convinced them that Biden is actually doing super cool stuff behind the scenes.

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

lmao that's awesome, but if anything they'll just double down on a new amount i imagine

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If this argument is legitimate, what would stop Biden from canceling the election and declaring himself president for life?

The main thing stopping that is the democrat fetishization of norms because they'd rather the country be fascist than effectively wield power against fascists. Also for Biden "for life" would be, what, 6 months?

That username lol

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

The really funny thing is the answer to "Oh so Biden can just do whatever he wants to Trump then?" Is no because dems would immediatly impeach him to try to get brownie points from republicans.

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lib Harvey Oswald redacting Trump would be the funniest outcome tho

"Maybe now we can start losing elections to co.petent effective fascists"

[–] Fishroot@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Libs are just conservatives in mindset, they support their party regardless of policy because it is blind loyalty and also to rub it onto their enemy.

They can't confront the present issues just like the conservatives so their only solution is for people to shut up.

Trump as libs describe him, should be in jail. If Jan 6 was an insurrection and lib claims of an imminent dictatorship are true, then they should jail him and every other leader involved. Instead they arrested some nobodies, and say only vote can stop Trump.

Its incredibly hypocritical on their part. You can't claim to be trying to stop fascism and all you're doing is promotions for the DNC - a corporate enity fir whom elections are a multi billion dollar business. Its all hollow.
