Poll: 94% Of Nation Would Rather Live In Authoritarian Dictatorship Than Wait 10 More Minutes

For Results

The Onion




WASHINGTON—With almost all respondents claiming there is no agony greater than anticipation, a new Gallup poll released Tuesday found that 94% of the nation would rather live in an authoritarian dictatorship than wait 10 more minutes for election results. “I would much prefer to be subjected to the cruel whims of an autocratic megalomaniac than wait any longer for the final election outcome,” said Georgia resident Chris Mitchell, who, along with a nearly unanimous majority of Americans, expressed a willingness to be dragged from his house by government agents in the dead of night and disappeared if it would result in a shorter period of uncertainty. “Being forced to do hard labor in a concentration camp? Sign me up if it means I could finally find out who won this damn thing. Feed me propaganda, shoot dissidents in the street, do away with elections altogether, I don’t care! I’ll accept anything at this point. I just want to know.” At press time, the other 6% of respondents confirmed that they were willing to wait another five minutes maximum.

The difference between the Trump voters and us is we know who he is and what he represents and they don’t. Just a bunch of dumbasses in a very important issue like a would be Hitler is trying to take over the country. With Moscow Mitch’s help and other knuckle dragging Republican Congress people of course.

... who have argued against democracy.

It's always obvious to me that they don't like minorities voting against their side.

One of them was a history-buff and actually argued for a return to kings "ordained by God" because of the supposed stability!

the lowly women, POC, etc., who slave away for the king. They don't read enough history to know that plenty of serfs digging potatoes were white men . . . and they never rose any higher in the hierarchy than that.

He bragged about his supposed Norman ancestors who conquered England, deluding himself into thinking his nasty-ass would be royalty if there was a return to feudalism.
