Edit for clarification, if you think about politics in the shower, cool everyone thinks about all kinds of shit in the shower. If you post political shit in the showerthoughts community, I’m annoyed by you. Do what ya want when ya want.

      Honestly, what a monumentally shit take from OP

      There are people out there losing family members, many of them forever, over politics

      There are millions of people who don’t feel safe leaving their house right now due to politics

      Millions more worried about straight up losing their house and everything they own over politics

      People worried about where their next meal is coming from

      People worried if they’re gonna be able to afford to continue to fucking live

      Others wondering if there’s even going to be much of a world left to live in

      Many people thinking about politics are doing so because they do not get a choice. No one wants to think about any of that, they’re being forced to by the reality unfolding around them.

        Yeah they basically just told on themselves as an unserious and/or sheltered nonparticipant in society

        Essentially antisocial

        Moreso just hate seeing political takes in a showerthoughts community. I get what you’re saying and it was a poorly thought out snarky thing to post.

          Then use the tools the moderators gave you instead of posting a shit take to cry about something you could change. Political posts are against the rules, just report them and move on.

    If you mean to say: there’s too much politically charged posts on here, despite rule number 3 being ‘No politics’; I wholly agree.

    LOL, but actually given the horrible state the world is in, let alone The USA, politically, if your not at least once a week, then what is wrong with you?

    It is like one Bill Maher’s jokes that are bad political wise, but funny. Keep in mind years ago, I stopped sitting & watching his LAMESTREAM BLANK. But my roommates still watch him, & passing by to the kitchen or back to the bedroom, I still here his BLANKING BS.

      Think about whatever you want, I just get bummed when showerthoughts is used to push politics instead of silly shit you think of in the shower.

        if you dont think about politics in the shower youre detached from reality and burying your head in the sand

        and your statement is political. youre thinking politics in the shower.

          Im thinking about wanting to see more silly thoughts not be reminded of the same shit I see every day in every other community here and on every social media platform/irl conversation.
