A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
Lol, elections don't get decided by straight ticket states, they get decided by a handful of states (with occasional exceptions) that sit on the fence, and shit like calling yourself a dictator is exactly the sort of nudge that'll put em off.
Trump might be appealing to the states that would have voted for him anyway, but there's no actual gains there to be had... Ya know?
You could say this about so much of what he has said and done, and it hasn't "put em off", at least not enough
It's not just about if her wins, it's about what those states might try to pull if they lose.
