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

They absolutely will.
These fucking people I swear, they believe in market fairies. They think that if they ban imports, domestic supply will suddenly materialize from nowhere. They're willing to ban but not willing to invest. Unless it's some hare brained scheme where they write a capitalist a check for $20B to build a $2B factory
Why would anyone build a big panel factory when the tariffs can just as easily be reversed? Also where are we supposed to get the knowledge and equipment?
It's all so profoundly stupid, backwards, and FRUSTRATING when you clearly have an example of an alternate system that works and yet refuse to adopt it because of greed, of all things
