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.

These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

Well and so far the popular vote is more red then blue. I think the USA will get the government the voters deserve.

Here's hoping the rest of the world can not get pulled down.

I'm someone smack in the middle of a liberal city in an always blue state, I don't know what else there is for me to do. I've attempted helping educate and getting people to vote in other states who normally choose not to, I've voted in every election down to local boards and try to know who I'm voting for. Locally, we had a lot of successes so far this election in our state...but that won't help much if, y'know, fascism.

Not sure what to tell you, I am in another nation but a similar situation. The state of things is now to the point media is untrusted, nationalism is both here and missing, while people are angry but happy to blame the "other guys".

My ultimate fear is we're too late and this is a global trend, but hopefully we can break through it. (We as in humanity, my team kinda dropped the ball on this one it's looking) We need to get people educated and working towards change instead of casting blame on the "other guys" like you said. Right now though it's hard not to feel lost knowing my loved ones and my rights and safety is at stake. I hope things look up for you and your loved ones.

Both of our nations really need to have some electoral reform.

Best we can do it seems is an "I voted" sticker.
