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

This! This will happen the next time a Republican POTUS gets elected. Project 2025 will most definitely turn into 2029 which will turn into 2033 and so and so on. Which I’m begging Dems to whip up their own Project 2025 to make sure that other one doesn’t happen.

If the Democrats did a project 2025, it would either not exist or be near identical to the Republican one lmao

Project 2025 will most definitely turn into 2029 which will turn into 2033 and so and so on.

Just keep voting blue guys. Don't worry about the genocide, police brutality, asylum ban, banning apps because people on it support Palestine etc. No matter how bad Biden is, project 2025+4+4+4+4+4 is worse

This other party is an existential threat, but our best bet at defeating them is to just keep hitting the snooze button.

I'm gonna start using this, thanks comrade

It's so convenient that they found a way to shift off of "trump bad".

When people like us confronted them with "what will you screech about once trump is dead?" They found the perfect boogyman. A nebulous collection of ideas the Republicans have been open about for 50+ years. At least this one has a cute name!

I guess on the one hand, this is closer to how messaging should work, but alas, they will just scaremonger and fundraise off it until we slow walk into fascism.

slow walk into fascism? we're not there yet?

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

We totally are. It's just that people with comfortable lives are starting to feel the effects.

Project 2025 + 4n

makes for a solid clapback to lib hysteria every election year. The libs would probably coopt it in ironically within a few months

This! This will happen

Oh look, a reddit-logo user

You can tell because they've been trying to scare everybody with project 2025 for a year but if you ask them what their plan is if they win they'll just look at you confused and say they aren't Trump.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

but if you ask them what their plan is if they win

Brunch, duh

Asking for help: I am selling people boxes. When they ask what's inside, I tell them that it is not full of live hornets (it might be though).

Can anyone explain why people aren't buying these?

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean, multiple Democrat mainstay organizations were caught out funding the think tank behind 2025; so I'm gonna put my chips on "identical to the Republican one".

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah, the "progressive"-libs will do nothing/scold you to vote harder while the Dems calling shots just go ahead and implement the exact same plan.

Edit: it's good cop, bad cop, and even worse cop. Worst thing is - they're all cops.
