I don't just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of "legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community" top-cop takes.

I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we're Russian/Chinese bots.

Sure they still do that but they've slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.

    I was expecting large struggle sessions with lemmygrad over sectarianism and left bashing (we are a ML space), but everyone saw the libs and went full Workers United Front

      like I knew in theory we were closer to each other than to the libs but the sheer magnitude has been surprising. we used to have AES struggle sessions every couple of months but virtually everyone closed ranks once federation hit. we've spent so much time arguing over how critical our "critical support" is and it's small potatoes in comparison to "DAE winnie the pooh??"
