    there’s no way this is a good faith question, but here goes anyway. maybe I’m unqualified to answer this as I’m a quadferret working on my pentacoyote and it’ll be years before I’m an honest to god hexbear, but I think that at the root of the Trump banter is a frustration at people’s failure to recognize that the American system is gonna keep shitting out new Trumps until we either change the fundamental assumptions american society is built on or the latest Trump actually succeeds in ending democracy.

      I think OP’s question is phrased a bit flippantly because they already know and understand the reason behind the answer, rather than dismissing them in advance.

      It appears to me they want a ready example of vehement rejection of Trump to point to in the future when libs and baby leftists naively say Hexbear is pro-Trump. It is a good faith question drafted in an offhand way.

      (also if you hang around long enough you can become a heptaherpeton, personally I want to be a seven-sided frog)

      Lmao good luck on the pentacoyote. Having gotten to quadferret you’ve already been through the worst parts though, from there it’s just smooth sailing. hexbear-logo

        Oh I assumed they meant something wildly different when they were chanting “Stroke! Stroke!”

        I am enlightened now, but admittedly a smidge disappointed.
