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 [email protected]

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

I don't think some people have the critical thinking skills to understand the show. The whole episode is about how leftists were indifferent/did not like Obama and got shit for that, and about how many people got caught up in the "hope and change" nonsense. But I think that just flew over their heads.

Oh my god. I'm so glad I did read them! Every single one of them—up to and including Bill Maher himself voicing his character—doesn't realize that THEY ARE THE PUNCHLINE OF THE JOKE!

It's like that actor from get out saying "I would've voted for Obama a third time if I could", and actually believing that
