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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Right!?!?!?! I thought we hit rock bottom with Bush Jr and then this whole thing with Trump came along. I am starting to realize that it’s just going to get worse from here. If GWB wasn’t the worst then Trump will likely not be the worst.

You're lucky Musk is born in SA, or he would be your president in a few terms!

Who says he won't be? Constitution doesn't seem to matter much these days. More of a suggestion really. Except, apparently, the 2nd amendment.

Just the part after the comma

Yeah, they don't have any use for the reasoning it's based on, especially since it's no longer applicable.

I mean we have a history of folks who run for vice president running for president. So right there.

Musk has negative rizz, I doubt he'd be able to sway the masses like Trump has. Trump is - for all his many incomprehensible flaws - entertaining. Musk is a deeply boring man.
