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.

How many democrats with meaningful power are actually proponents of an "open border"?

The main times I see the term "open borders" is a bunch of republican sites making strawman arguments. Fact is the border isn't open and nobody serious really wants it open, but if it's implied enough then people believe it. The #2 hit on google is an official republican senate website attacking this "open border" policy.

Why this fixation on highlighting immigration in a facetious way to misrepresent the situation? Even the tone-deaf can hear that faint whistle.
