I wonder how far away this country is from its own version of the Spanish Civil War?

Probably quite a ways off, what with the lack of Spaniards.

A long way, well at least half the country needs to learn spanish before your analogue would work.


edit:
Alternatively once the trouble kicks off, the sensible Spanish speakers seek refuge elsewhere on the continent and then it becomes an entirely English speaking civil war.   :cool:

Given who owns guns in this country, if the culture war turns hot, I suspect we will all be saying "merry christmas" by christmas.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

So far in my family I have one brother all in for Trump, one who may hold his nose and vote Trump, a sister in law who is with me on voting Gary Johnson, and a wife who would vote Trump if I let her (I still haven't gotten guidance from Languish on what I should do).  Not sure who my parents are voting for-- they've voted in every election since the early 60s but I could see them both sitting this one out.

You have an excellent strategy for voting for Trump while pretending like you are not voting for Trump. Color me: Not Surprised.

I plan to vote for Gary Johnson. My question to Languish is: Do I continue with the arrangement so many of you despise and cast my wife's vote for Gary Johnson or do I have her vote her conscience and allow a vote for Trump?

So far Mono is the only one to (sort of) answer. And on behalf of West Virginia coal miners I salute him.

As a Republican whose income and assets actually justifies my being in the party I feel I'm in a position of authority over you (the redneck servile class), at this time  I've decided you'll be voting for Hillary to insulate the GOP establishment from the consequences of a Trump presidency.

No.

Speesh, remind me what your voting decision tree is.  I remember it differently than what sbr said.

I think speesh was voting Johnson unless it was extremely tight, in which case he'd vote Trump.

Why would he adopt such a bizarre and illogical strategy? :unsure:

Closet Trump fan. This way he gets to "vote" for who he wants while pretending like his isn't enchanted with Trumps racism and bigotry.

Keep replying to yourself and you'll go blind.

I interpreted as he really doesn't like Trump and doesn't want his vote to be registered as support for Trump, but in the end thinks Trump is a "lesser evil" than Hillary.
