I wonder what would happen if he suddenly wouldn’t be reelected. Like just as a joke, to see his face, while everybody is laughing and in the background, they get the guillotine ready.

The ballot only has him on it, so any vote is for him. Pretty sure voting is compulsory too. But I doubt they actually tabulate the results like a real election.

This robotic clapping that they do for dear leader. Somehow it's just... haunting.

Americans should watch closely... and learn.

Not just Americans.
I'm starting to wonder what percentage of the human population is even capable of learning from example.

Yes, they would need this knowledge soon. How long before Trump starts demanding mandatory clapping at his speeches?

Didn't he have a whinge about military generals not laughing and applauding him during a speech?

They already do it whenever anyone mentions “the troops”

Every time I see something like this I think of Loki's speech in Avengers where he says humans basically want to be ruled and treated like crap, and I wonder if it doesn't hit a bit too close to home for some people.

Well of course! He is the best!

The best out of the given choices at least
osanna@thebrainbin.org · 3 pts · 211d
Ofc. he only wants the best for his people!

He inspires Trump and the GOP on how they want to run elections

I "elect" the leader I've been brainwashed by a nationwide cult of personality to believe is infallible, all powerful, all knowing, and completely benevolent... or else...
