I just did a poll! To increase sample size, I put a lot of mirrors in my room. [View all]

The first question was: Should the US bring back the traditional English punishment for treason?

In case you have forgotten, that was where the traitor got dragged through the streets for a few hours while excited crowds threw garbage and stones, then was hanged by the neck until half-dead before being cut down and having various bodily parts whacked off or pulled out and burned, and then finally was knackered into somewhat of a bloody mess

No respondents would commit to the proposal but a majority said maybe the idea deserved further consideration

I think this poll should be as newsworthy as lunatics demanding civil war or the discovery that that most Republicans think Biden is too old
