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
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Jesus Christ people.. these are humans who voted with concerns for themselves and their communities. Just because you didn't get what you wanted or you did get what you wanted doesn't mean it's carte Blanche to say the most fucking heinous shit about each other.
They wants us divided.
Listen, either what happened is OK or it isn't. And when you say "these are humans who voted with concerns for themselves and their communities" it makes seem like electing a felon, rapist, insurrectionist moron to the highest office is OK.
So that's why I'm here writing to you: to fucking tell you that it's not, and to ask you to not try to justify it or make this shit sound reasonable. It's not.
No one is going to listen to your points if you come from a place of hatred. It may not be "okay" but it doesn't mean someone who didn't vote for Kamala for one reason is the same as another who may be a serial sociopath. Everyone has their reasons. You'll reach people by talking to them about it. Not chastising them.
72 million Trump voters embraced the hatred Trump spewed. Literally look at what you're saying and apply it to what happened the other day and decide yourself if you're wrong or right.
He's right, though.
Okay.
Get ready for all the stages of grief at the same time and I'll warn you.
Most people get stuck on denial and anger.
Lots of anger in here.
