I'm sure I can find the answers to these questions in google individually, but other people in the fediverse might benefit from having these questions answered as well.

Why is Trump a "Wet Boy"?

Why is a defecating pig a "PBB"?

Why do you, a chapotraphouse discussion forum, only discuss something called "citations needed" instead of the chapo podcast?

How is El Chapo's trap house in any way related to leftism?

Why are your emojis so big?

What's the limit for your big tent left? Maoists? Trotskyites? Demsocs? Socdems? TERF socialists? Progressive Democrats? Monarchist socialists?

To widen the topic of the post, feel free to post any other questions regarding Hexbear as well.

Yeah, Trots are nominally allowed, but the site culture leans pretty heavily ML/something, with Anarchists in a lagging second place followed by everyone else. I'm going to be honest I don't even know what Trotskyies thinking even entails beyond strong disagreements about how Lenin and Stalin handled the early years of the USSR and a lot of stereotypes about Newspapers. We say we're non-sectarian but in practice the ML slant is really strong. I hope we can keep things open. We have to do better than the 20th century did.
