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.

Politics has always been b******* and will always be b*******, and actually that's one way that s***** politicians exploit people. They make the whole topic irritating or frustrating, and then a lot of people either stay home or become single issue voters because it's just too frustrating to even think about any of the issues or politicians.
No matter what you do, politics will affect your life. How engaged you want to get really depends on where you think your energy is well spent and what makes you happy.
