I feel you, friendo, I feel you. It may be surprising, but I’ve found Hexbear actually has the lowest incidence of tankieismin the entire lemmyverse. It’s actually mostly Trumpists pretending to be tankies. The dead giveaway was when they went so hard with the “Genocide Joe” and “Holocaust Harris” propaganda in 2024 to discourage people from voting Democrat. That nickname format “word name” is a clear Trumpism. Pudding Ron? Sleepy Joe? Crooked Hillary?
