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.

I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.

while Team Blue has their side convinced that everybody on Team Blue is infallible just because Team Red exists.

I've found it to be quite the opposite. Team Blue opposes Team Red and half of the people on Team Blue too. It's split into all these different agenda and identity groups and they're all so very eager to tear each other apart with labels and accusations if you don't toe the exact line that's currently being drawn. It's a given that any time you have a large group of thoughtful individuals you're going to have some inter-group bickering. But Team Blue is more divided and combative against themselves than I've ever seen before in my lifetime.
