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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Trump saying he'll be a dictator only on day 1 is the strategy of normalizing it. (lemmy.world)

Just make it so normal that people accept it.

And for others they can say "he's joking, like he was always joking"

Basically he's been publicly accused of being a fascist (he is) and a wannabe dictator (he is) so many times in the media, that it's starting to lose all meaning. He knows that if you repeat a lie enough times it becomes the new truth, so he's just word salading his way through to next November. None of his supporters care, and nobody who has been anti-Trump is surprised.

Sean Hannity: "You're not going to be a dictator, are you?"

Donald Trump: " No, no no, other than day 1."
