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

Why are you in this thread if you're not even American? This is obviously about the US elections.
I personally care because most of my family is American and because Canadian politics often echo what's going on in the U.S. Pierre Polievre wouldn't be seeing as much success if he didn't have Trump's culture war nonsense to use as inspiration. A lot of people outside of America still care very much about U.S. politics because it does have an effect on global affairs.
I hear you on that.
Because Lemmy isn't a US-only social network?
This post is obviously about US politics.
Ok?
