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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I honestly wish it was as hands down as that. What he said appeals to exactly the kind of people it was directed at....and there are so SO many of those people out there. Majority? I don't know; and that in itself is a problem....it should be absolutely obvious that a significant majority of people aren't aligned with him. But its not.
I'll betcha this ends up working to his advantage somehow.
fucking depressed myself with my own comment. I'm going to go take an Ace Ventura style shower
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.
