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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

Ok everyone chill. Yeah, it sucks. But we kinda foresaw this ever since Biden decided to run again. Take a deep breath, think about it more later. The worst thing is to be angry instead of smart. Remember George Floyd. Remember specifically how everyone got angry and did dumb things about it, and today efforts at police reform are actually in a worse place than they were before he was murdered on video.

Think about ways to counter Trump that will be more effective and less just expressions of rage. I think the biggest problem is the media that really plays to Trump's reality TV-style politics. It's not enough to wine that the voters are too stupid, but what do we do about it?

We might be living the final moments of not being terrified what the US President is going to do

Come on dude... I live with that since I can understand the world, US can introduce democracy to my country in any moment doesn't matter who is the fucking president.

Honestly, I doubt it. Even if he loses, he's still going to be spewing his mouth diarrhea nonstop and his cult will still believe the shit he says. Also, I'm thinking the Republican party will continue his shit. He created a new Republican party. They'll keep pushing candidates who will act and do shit like him since he's been very successful in fooling his base.

There's surely no chance he can win.. the last fortnight has been an utter shit show.. I can't see how it would even be a contest to be honest

The last election was almost perfectly 50/50. It think it will be very close this year as well.
