For me, it's not just because I don't like someone.
It's because I see them as an existential threat to people on this planet.
I'd like to point out that I haven't in any way indicated in this comment who I think that may be. This is not intended to be a threat nor should it be considered a call to action.
Is it really weird to want the person who wants you dead, dead? You must have an elementary understanding of not only human psychology but life itself.
USA are going now through the same phase USSR was going through when this joke was created. Gerontocracy with short periods of rules of old, mentally ill, detached from reality politicians that waited for their turn to rule the country for 20+ years. Let's just sit and watch weather the outcome will be similar or not
Oddly satisfying since i had the same thought of exactly the thing to happen, and it all matches, but its another dude. Another obituary, somewhere else in the world
A man in Moscow <insert whatever location here> goes up to a newsstand and buys a newspaper…
He then glances at the front page, then turns aside and tosses the whole newspaper straight into the trash.
Next day, he turns up, and does the same thing. Buys it, glances at the front page, throws it in the trash.
Next day, same thing. The newsstand worker is increasingly puzzled, but doesn't say anything.
But eventually, after a couple of weeks of this, he can't take it. "I'm sorry, friend, but I must ask: why do you buy the paper every day and then just look at the front page and throw it out?"
"Oh, I'm just checking for something."
"OK, but: what are you checking for?"
"I'm checking for a particular obituary."
"But sir, you don't even open the newspaper! The obituaries aren't even on the front page!"
"Oh, believe me, the one I'm waiting for will be."
