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.

And for others they can say "he's joking, like he was always joking"

Lol, elections don't get decided by straight ticket states, they get decided by a handful of states (with occasional exceptions) that sit on the fence, and shit like calling yourself a dictator is exactly the sort of nudge that'll put em off.

Trump might be appealing to the states that would have voted for him anyway, but there's no actual gains there to be had... Ya know?

You could say this about so much of what he has said and done, and it hasn't "put em off", at least not enough

It's not just about if her wins, it's about what those states might try to pull if they lose.
