In the class warfare of America, there seem to be an awful lot of parallels between typical Republican voters and Uncle Tom, a negro who was exceedingly subservient to his slave masters.

    Anyone who makes that argument has no idea how bad things can get and how fast.

      but in the long term there’s always a swing back the other way

          There is at least one camp right now where genocide is happening and the Democrats are supporting and paying for it.

            But not the Republicans? Their hands are somehow clean?

              I never said that, although Democrats are the ones still in power. My point was that both sides are blind.

                Congress is mostly Republicans.

                Or did you think that the presidency was the only thing that mattered in the US?

                  No, do you think it somehow doesn’t matter? It was pretty mixed before Kamala decided to become a Republican.

          Yes?

          So if the camps were happening either way, better not to vote for the guy that says “vote me and the camps will have regulations in regard to human experimentation!” and strictly go for “fuck that shit”.

          I get people still being affected by the election topics, but it’s not now.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS
