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.

If we’re talking about acceptance of authority, right leaning folks are less likely to do so

Right-wingers love authority, especially if it's the kind they approve of. It's literally part of the ideology. A lot of them didn't wear masks because the right-wing grifters (like Tucker) told them not too.

Wearing masks during the pandemic was just smart, common sense and had nothing to do with authority, in spite of the right-wingers trying to make it seem like it was.
