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.

Its a lot easier looking at a beautiful person these days and not feeling a bit of jealousy knowing there is a decent chance they would vote for fascism. (lemmy.world)

Beep boop. I am robot.. beep boop I have no emotion.

ITT: the 30 some odd people who that have transcended human desire.

I really can't tell. Did I flush the trump supporters out with this post? Are people so offended that a beautiful person could be a NAZI? Or am I just too blunt and to admit I don't go around imagining everyone is morally upright really makes people uncomfortable. Aka I'm an ass. Let me know cause I've said some dumb shit but this one hit a nerve.

Interesting article

Plain statistics. For every ugly MF there should be some privileged idiot with every advantage. 100 million people. Think about it.

Edit: sorry, didn't mean to hurt anyone's ego.

You should delete this post fam. You have some personal issues you're projecting on strangers. Probably not very healthy in the long run and seeking validation from us retards on Lemmy most certainly won't help you in any form.

Nah, I'm good. Chose a person and random. There is 1/3 chance they are a fascist. Does that not wound you?

Edit: or are you saying I should be stoic and not be envious in any situation despite my nature. Well I'm telling you I'm not because these are shallow pools.

For the record, the number of die hard MAGAs is smaller than that, it's just a subset of the gop. Then consider that a lot of MAGAs are duped into just thinking "oh, he jokes a lot, but he's a businessman so he'll do a good job!"

So the number of actual outright fascists is going to be pretty small when we weed out the people that just fall for their promises and lies. We need to distinguish between a fascist and a fool.
