Simple question. Would you have a Democratic government but higher crime, or a dictatorship and lower crime?

Norway, Sweden, and Finland enjoy some of the lowest violent crime rates on Earth under a democratic government.

Do YOU want authoritarianism?
 
Under authoritarianism, crime just get redefined in such a way that any corruption/murder/etc at the top is taken out of the legal statutes. I am not sure you can truly have authoritarianism and low crime under any common understanding of the word.

Practically everyone on Truth Social is clamouring for a despot, and it will be benevolent for red hats like you and me, but the DEI wokesters like Allan will suffer horribly.

MAGA.

I think most of the world agrees that Americans need to be more closely supervised. I'm just not sure if Donald is the right authoritarian for the job.

I agree that Americans are largely unsupervisable due to the fractious lib-progs, wayward Libertarians and back-stabbing RINOs, but if anyone can supervise those three, it has to be Donald J Trump.

Stupid poll. The world is not a choice of those two.

Sort of a heads I win, tails you lose, poll.

But you do exemplify the public stupidity. Facts are one thing. Perception is another.

I am not talking about facts. I gave a hypothetical. Pick one or don't. Either way, you took the time to respond to something you just said was stupid.

It's not about crime.

It's about Trump keeping the conversation off of the Epstein list.

Thanks to you, it isn't working, so I'd be very grateful if you had a heart and stopped using the 'E' word before we are all treading in bovine sewage:



MAGA.

ok so it was just trolling got it

No trolling at all. I don't think discussing our preferred form of government is trolling. At least @BitterPill had the testicular fortitude to vote. I disagree with him, but he had the balls to vote... unlike someone?

False analogy and false dichotomy. He's trying to corner the market on logical fallacies in one post.

Not at all. I just want to know who truly prefers democracy and who has a price to move to a dictatorship. We all sell out every day. It just depends who or what we all sell out to. This poll has to do if we are willing to pay a specific price to throw away our Constitution. I am not talking about what is happening in DC (because we won't know if crime truly goes down until the NG leaves).

Probably has something to do with them actually enforcing their laws consistently.
