1. The kind of utopia where their lifestyles and personal preferences
are completely IGNORED, but the lifestyles and personal preferences that they disapprove of are roundly stomped out.

2. 1870
Child labor, debtor's prison for entire families, no healthcare, no unions, no namby-pamby civil rights, no workplace safety, little public education, college for the rich only, grinding poverty...ahhhh, the GOOD life.

5. White men rule everything, everyone in their station.
And have the good sense to stay in it and abide by it, damn it!

6. Scrooge McDuck's utopia.
Where they've got this big pit of gold coins they can swim around in like water and go on adventures on a weekly basis.

This is right wingers we're talking about.

8. Other: The kind presented in the Stepford Wives
Where women all think exactly alike, are pretty much faceless, forced to do the will of their husbands, and all dont ask any questions whatsoever.

9. Whoever clicked "Star Trek"...
...You're just a damn liar, and you KNOW it. There is nothing the right hates more than the notion of a world without poverty or money, where people are equal and science takes precedence over military adventures.

What a cowardly POS liar you are. Come on out and blow your wad now, then brag to your little turd pals about how you got TS'ed. C'mon, now's as good a time as any.

Freaking freeper scum. Every one of you deserves to be curb-stomped.

16. Star Trek is a Leftist ideal - the polar opposite to Right wing ideals...
Why vote for it, let alone put it up as an option?

19. It's there as an option for that very reason.
The one appealing vision of the future is the one they are least interested in achieving.

22. Should have kept it within that theme...
If so, I choose other, the Ferengi Alliance, Libertarian paradise, basically.

12.  a world where nothing ever challenges them...not people, not ideas
where they can live around those who are just like them and they never have to question why anything is the way it is...it just is

They want their world to be a mirror of their own selves...it's safer and more secure that way for them.

14. The Fifth Reich.
Where everyone talks about freedom, but no one but the wealthy and powerful have any. Where rights are narrowly defined to suit the needs of the party. Where everyone supports fighting for "freedom", but the rest of the world sees it for the aggression that it is. Where no one has to be concerned in the least about the poor, the discriminated against, and the feeble. And where everything is named after St. Ronald of Reagan.

17. Voted other
They want to return to a "kinder simpler time" like the the late 1940's or early 1950's when Ward and June knew how to raise good boys and Senator Joe knew how to deal with leftists and there weren't any problems like poverty or race or unwed mothers (or if there was they knew their place)

21. close call between Handmaid and Gone with the Wind
Wealthy want Gone with the Wind, crackers want Handmaid. Those aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.
