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.

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

to be fair, you wouldn't say that Democrats or republicans are the same if you happen to be part of the groups the Republicans are currently advocating death for. There is a difference between NeoLiberal shill and "America should be a white ethnostate"
Wait, is "advocating death for" the evolution of "right to exist"? That sure escalated quickly.
I mean, sure one could argue that the Rights attacks on trans and LGBTQ people, calling them all pedophiles that need to be exterminated can be seen as a "right to exist" argument, in the same way that “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” can be seen as a "right to exist" statement...
Very nuanced take, I like it.
