Option 5. And the only reason I'd support taking Jake out is if we didn't he'd just launch an auto-coup and install himself as dictator anyway, based on his ideology.

YES so then after the coup succeeds, I will censor all media, abolish all strip clubs, feed atheists to their own lions, and give the SW back to mainland Mexico. I will then form a totalitarian regime that makes the Khmer Rouge look like heaven.
There'll be only 1 nationwide radio station in which I scream things like.. THIIIIS IIS WHHYYYYY YOOOOUU NEED US!!! WE ARE GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY. WE ARE FOR THE PEOPLE.. and also like... ALL TRAITORS SHALL MEET A CERTAIN FAITH. EVEN THOSE WHO DARE EVEN SPEAK BAD ABOUT MY CAT SHALLL BE KILLED ON THE SPOT! I will also institute military personell to watch over every single individual.
All car trips will be traced, everyone will be forced to wear GPS homing devices, stars of David, and pink triangles.
On every city there'll be a Jumbotron broadcasting me screaming the law. I WILL BAN AAAALLLLLL MUSIC, ANYONE AAANNNYYYOOOONNNEEEE who DAAARRRREES even TOUCH a person SUPERIOR TO A CIVILIAN WILL BE SPRAYED WITH AN ENTIRE MAGAZINE OF AN AK-47.

THE PUNISHMENT FOR BREACHING AAAALLLLL LAAAWWWS will be the same: death by machine gun.
You can EVEN be shot for speeding. Shoplifters will be sprayed with bullets from an M-4 tactical assault rifle. etc, etc.

that's all Tongue

I'll be invincible HAHAHAHAHAHA [/troll]

Yes only to opebo. Jake would be fine and as personally controversial as LBJ. BRTD would be harmless.

If opebo was elected in America, I think it's safe to say that there would have been so much electoral fraud that he could not be considered anywhere close to a democratically elected president.

The same is probably true of BRTD.  No offense, but it's true.

No

Unless they overstepped the boundaries of their office and became a tyranist/dicator, I'd recognize their being democratically election and oppose a coup.

Of course, it's extremely unlikely any of them would win an election.

I misread the question.  I voted that I would not support a millitary coup installing any of the three as president.

Though, excepting extreme circumstances I would not support a coup against any democratically elected leader.

Jake wouldn't be much worse than GW Bush (the president, not the poster).  Opebo would probably be similar to former governor Jerry "moonbeam" Brown (who I understand may be planning a run for CA AG) coupled with the womanizing of Kennedy.   You might be a would probably be about the same politically as opebo, and just slightly less hedonistic.

Jake is the only one who would have more than a snowballs chance in hades of winning an election.

option 6, but I would likely change party affiliation to Republican as a result.

If Jake became Dictator the world would be a better place. Jake is the man. He isn't afraid to share his opinions, such as the god like wonder which is myself.

Don't attempt to complement me.

41.6% would want to overthrow me
58.3% would want to overthrow opebo
29.2% would want to overthrow Jake

More than half if opebo was elected president. That's shocking.

Interesting that few people - even the so-called 'liberatarians' - seem to mind Jake's fascism.  Of course I admit a Jake regime would not be very different from the status quo in America.
