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

The best part will be if he wins, those in power will just sit around with their thumbs up their butts waiting for fascism to take over on Jan. 20th.
EDIT: It's thumbs up their butts time for 2 and a half months.
Can't the president do anything he wants right now???? ๐ง
If only he wasn't a fucking coward
No, only what the SCOTUS allows him to. Democrats aren't allowed to do anything.
Well, he probably could initiate anything he wanted on the grounds that they said that any official act is immune. He could probably get away with quite a bit before they managed to get together and stop him saying it wasn't an official act.
Yes, and they get to decide what an "official" act is. But it's moot. Biden doesn't have the stones to do what it takes to save the US from fascism. Not even close.
The first time he was elected, it was still inexcusable to vote for a known racist, rapist asshole, but nobody thought he'd actually make a serious effort to destroy democracy. It's been a well-known fact ever since.
The Democrats love him because he invigorates voters in the midterms and the next presidential election.
This will be the last presidential election.
