Well, these are some interesting poll questions... [View all]

I just finished a political poll and it's a little concerning that the following items are on the survey:

The question is about whether the respondent supports or how appropriate are the following

-We should suspend Congress for a few years so a strong leader can clean up the mess made by politicians in Washington.

-The government should suspend Americans’ rights until the situation is under control in the case of another terrorist attack in the US like September 11th

POTUS should be able to suspend laws previously passed by Congress and enact new laws that the President believes the country needs if the Congress cannot agree to act on important issues:

Trump should ignore laws & the Constitution if:
-A large majority of the American people believe that President Trump should act
-He has sought a compromise with Congress but the other party is playing partisan games.
- USA is facing an immediate military threat.
-He knows it is the right thing to do for the American people.

In some countries, military leaders have suspended elections, closed down the legislature, and temporarily taken charge of the government in order to address extreme corruption. What would be your view if the military took these steps in the United States?


What if the Republicans win the 2020 presidential election? How much do you feel violence would be justified then?

Edit to note:
The poll is from this organization. I'm a panel member and regularly participate.
