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.

  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

If we ever move past Trump I don't think I'll ever be able to put up with any political bullshit again. (lemmy.world)

Well ok but you're pointing out the authoritarian avalanche in the Republican Party, not American politics writ large.

I think people like AOC and Max Frost (and heck, Tim Walz) show that it's possible for there to be progress. We just have to want it. Also we have to learn to ignore trump and his ilk instead of giving them equal time.

well yeah but that is what trump is apart of. Sure it will be better anytime there is not a republican at this point but its crazy how hard we have to hold the line since they are full steam best case corpo run cyberpunk future, worse case totalitarianism. This is why I feel we have to get to the point were they just can't win in any meaningful way.
