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.

- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Eventually a family member of a Republican will be shot in one of these. Maybe then we can do something about it.
I can't recall exactly but I thought it's already happened, and if nothing else Dick Chaney shot someone in the face, and continued on to shoot others in other ways in other trips.
Totally unconnected (yeah right! and if you believe that...), some of this money supposedly from "the NRA" actually is funnelled through from Russia. Not all, but it seems a common pipeline by which, shall we say "certain politicians" are ~~bribed~~ no wait yeah that's what I meant there. At least it's a factor that complicates things, but since it's money it complicates it a lot.
In some other country that might even be thought of as something worth doing about, and similarly with the sacrifice of our literal and actual children. But here we cannot, bc you know, we are instead "Pro-Life".
Wasn't an R shot at the congressional baseball game a few years ago. Didn't seem to do shit.
Why'd they stop at one?
