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

Trump is the political equivalent of those spam/scam emails with intentional misspellings designed to filter out folks who won't ultimately fall for the scam (gizmodo.com)

Truthfully? I'd bet an uncomfortable percentage of all people fall for common email scams all the time. But trumps base doesn't represent 50% of the country. More accurately, 33% of Americans fall for it, 33% push against it, and 33% don't think it's a big enough problem to mail in a form letter once every 4 years.
