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.

There's no reason to believe they went further left. The more obvious idea is that they're at the same position they were as when they were with Reagan, the US just shifted so far right, they now seem like the progressive ones.
Yep. Nixon would be a pinko commie for establishing the EPA
Not to mention his role in normalizing relations with China.
I read a great journal article on how Nixon "created" the EPA as an intentionally weak body (EPA funding and staff were all reallocated from existing federal agencies) to avoid Congress legislating one (like they did with OSHA that year), but unfortunately I can't find it now.
Nixon had a platform nearly identical to Hillary Clinton's and conservatives were foaming at the mouth like she was Mao's protégé who would throw them all into cuck sheds.
