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.

They didn't exist before the 2016 election. They were mostly astroturf. The original Donald sub was entirely bashing him and intentionally killed off.

They very much existed and were active. The donald wasn't the first or the only one.
