Kim says his party is focused on the tasks of 'boosting economic construction and the people's standard of living'.

"elected"

When words lose meaning

• there is one candidate on the ballot
• you are in Big Trouble if you do not vote for Dear Leader

🤔

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

Well of course! He is the best!

Ofc. he only wants the best for his people!

Americans should watch closely... and learn.

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

Workers party is best party

They already do it whenever anyone mentions “the troops”

Not just Americans.

I'm starting to wonder what percentage of the human population is even capable of learning from example.

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

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.

Oh! What luck!

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

Here's my surprised face. 😶

The best out of the given choices at least

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...

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.

No no, un reelected

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.
