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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Oh, I thought he meant Zelensky.
You are shrooming if you think the puerto rico garbage comment does anything but drive up voting in the south.
They know they're the only Real Americans, everyone else on the planet is garbage to them.
No, it won't change the minds of his base.
But there are people he wouldn't consider his base, that also tend to vote conservative, who were actually offended by some of those jokes. And then realized that hey, Trump and company are white nationalists, and that means that no minority will be safe.
It's a tiny minority of Trump supporters, but as close as this election could be, that's more than enough.
Now, Trump is planning on stealing the election anyway. Via disrupting or delaying certification of votes past December 11th, Which then means that there will be incomplete slates of electors, which means the election goes to the House, and each State gets one vote instead of the house itself voting.
They're going to try to use Section three of the 20th amendment.
Fun times to live in...
