The generic ass music coupled with the quotes is like seeing your almost senile white grandpa try to get mad when his grandkids ask him why he's a war criminal.

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

MODERATORS
I will say, using your opponents own words can backfire. I am aware of a local election a few years ago where it was an organizer vs some democratic party establishment hack, and the hack sent out flyer after flyer with pictures of this organizer at events (so she's kinda sweaty and disheveled because she had been protesting or knocking doors for hours or whatever) with words that she used at the events. One of them even had a QR code you could scan that took you directly to a video of the organizer at a rally doing her speaking portion.
The organizer absolutely destroyed the dem establishment, and when I talked to folks local to the area about it, it turns out that mostly the stuff the organizer was saying was stuff that resonated with the community that voted for her. So basically the Dem establishment candidate was just sending out mailers that told the community "This organizer is someone who cares about what you care about." It was hilarious to see.
The democratic party establishment has literally no idea what real people want or what resonates with real people, so they ought to be real careful giving free advertisement out like this.
Wow, Joe Scarborough thought it was impressive, that's something else alright
Trump had also referred separately to John McCain, the late senator and war veteran, as a “fucking loser.”
When he's right he's right.
It just makes Trump look good if this ad says he's the singular politician with no respect for the troops at a time where military interventionism is wildly unpopular. Hell yeah I want a contentious relationship between the military and the civilian leadership ordering it to commit a genocide. Maybe we'll get troop mutinies and a certified 1905 moment. Maybe the democrats won't be keen to continue their Noble Holocaust.
