I'm a terrorist because I have rainbows on my jacket and some Americans are terrified of anything not colored white.

TIL my mom is a part-time terrorist.

It's such deep cover, sometimes when you were a kid and just cuddling with her, then 5 minutes later start going bipolar and terrorizing the living room and I have to go hide in my room crying...

This is the MO of the US Republicans for the last several decades.

MAGA afraid of, and compensating for everything, but mostly their own feelings of inadequacy.

"I'm too short, my dick is too small, my hair is falling out, my muscles aren't big enough, my car is too small, I don't earn enough money, my dog isn't mean enough, my wife isn't pretty enough, my kids are 'woke'. So, the only emotion I allow myself is anger, and I deny responsibility for everything I do. I'm happy to have the pre-packaged scapegoats of colored people and immigrants to blame all of my self-induced problems on, because I can't admit I'm inadequate to myself or anyone else, and I certainly can't put any work into those aspects of my life I could change, because that would also be admitting defeat. That's why I voted for Trump, he's just like me."

Showerthoughts

40294 readers

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:

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

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
