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.

And Idiocracy deems that most of us would watch it apparently..
I decided to stop worrying about all of this shit..to be honest. 80+ million people voted for this so fuck all of them and see how the country will be after this circus.
Then you're doing exactly what you are supposed to do. Disengagement, hopelessness, resignation, it's all in the authoritarian playbook.
Addendum: To be clear, IMO what you Americans need to do is stay engaged. That doesn't mean protesting everything (personally I think that might even be counter-productive). It does mean voting at every tiniest opportunity, you have lots of them. And if possible getting involved in some form of local politics, even if that is just joining some club or association. It's like a tyrannical boss and his employees, what authoritarians hate most of all is for their subjects to be talking to each other.
What else are you supposed to do? Constantly complaining about it gets old real quick.
Obviously you should post about it on Lemmy, upvote other posts about it and go into the comments telling the other people who despise him how much you do too. That should do the trick.
Mobilize.
I feel like his announcements are just shock and awe to grab headlines. It’s all stupid. Wrestling wife lady got picked for DOE today right…
I agree all of this would make for a great reality TV show though.
If this doesn't belong here, free to recommend a community i should post this instead
May as well. Let's just full send it. Just stop thinking about it. Embrace the spectacle.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if they went full (fake as fuck) reality show with this, exclusively on X via Trump Media. Fully staged "reality" clips of them giving orders, bossing people, solving a situation.
