Reactions to the shocking news that swept Romania the day after the first round of voting – Georgescu, as after any ruckus, brought mixed reactions: embarrassment, sometimes even anger – you know how it is.
But among the voters of the energy vampire Călin Georgescu, who enters your house from everywhere, not only through the wonders of cutting-edge technology—the Internet—but also through TV, walls, the hood, and the elevator shaft, some people voted by mistake.
Not those people who stumble upon the Internet with a vengeance, Mark Zuckerberg himself believes that he will limit the storage bandwidth of each member after the endless spam of posts in Georgescu’s place, memes, jokes, insults, and, in general, the continuous roll of virtual toilet paper.
That’s how it happened, that’s how ruthless fate wanted it, that’s how Susan Miller’s horoscope wanted it, or maybe the current went out when Georgescu was put on the ballot, his name sounded better: more of the people and also rhymes with Iliescu.
And just like that, the world was divided: not even the homeless people were arguing over that soggy cardboard anymore; now they’re arguing over who voted for the dirtier candidate. Suddenly, sanitary alcohol is no longer necessary, nor the cigarette butts or the squabble.
What did Georgescu’s voters say in the first round of voting?

He defended himself: “Bro’, I voted for him because my band and the girl who gave me the seen vote for him with Georgescu, I can’t vote for anyone else, because not only do I no longer kiss the pussy, I don’t even kiss the cuckoo, for that matter!“

The two, still hungover, one says: “We made a bet after we got drunk the night before the party: whoever finishes first and last had to vote for Georgescu. So I finished without announcing it – first, my friend said, ‘Go and vote for whoever you want.’ Whenever I come home, a neighbor chases me up the stairs, and I have no idea why!“
A high-ranking member of the Romanian Orthodox Church
Theodosie, the pre-abyss, endless source of meaningless pseudo-parables and conspiracy theories, defends himself by declaring that he would have voted for Lasconi, but that he didn’t have a headscarf and, anyway, he wouldn’t have bowed to a man.
He also adds that: “A woman who doesn’t bow to a man is not really a woman.” Although, ironically, Lasconi would have a minus rib but who knows, what’s true is that I didn’t even look for eggs, as Năstase Ten-Houses would say:, no – Ten-Houses is Iohannis, – you understand.

A pensioner staring sourly in a shop window in Târgoviște, walking around with an empty net, firmly declares: “-I voted with Iliescu for as long as I can remember and I’m voting with Iliescu now.
Faced with the fact that Georgescu is not Iliescu, he appears: Isn’t that Iliescu?! But what year are we in? 1996?”
