So I'm not the only one with images of The Road popping into my head reading this apocalyptic bragfest.

Yes I know, and no I'm not going to knock it off, when you can post something from the right, I'll maybe believe you.
How the hell is that? We haven't discussed duration or severity.
It was only a general statement!
I've never said I was a right winger either. Pay attention. I'm an armed Buddhist. My first DD214 was carved on tree bark with a sharp rock, and I've enlisted twice to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
Narrow minded binary party-idolatry is not an ideological framework for grownup thinking, it's letting others do your thinking for you. I don't stand on enery plank in the republican platform, or the democratic platform. I registered Green for Gore as a low value statistical protest, then registered Republican for McCain, same logic.
Now if you don't mind, I'll report you the next time you call me a *********** leftist.
I never said you were, but most moderates agree with some things on the right and some things on the left.
Being grownup is being strong in core beliefs, if you can go from Gore to McCain and back to Hillary, you're a bit out of focus.
McCain and Gore don't really agree on much, it shows your beliefs blow with the wind.
I double dog dare you!

I guess Trump is not a grownup according to your standards. Got it. And the personal attacks continue.
How about Trump's little stormtroopers?
Signed,
A Conservative. And strong in my core beliefs.

TrumpTrooper Update:
As mentioned upthread I answered Trump's clarion call to get out and watch the polls. I started by contacting team Trump, who sent my data to the chair of of the Republican Party office in my county. They provided a training session, plus we, official Poll Watchers, are required to take an online course from the Colorado Secretary of State. The GOP office then scheduled us to Watch in various locations.
On Saturday I took my two certifications to the county clerk and recorder building where the actual vote counting process takes place. Not much action, a few boxes of ballots trickling in from collection stations, but I was able to observe the entire process from full box of ballots coming in to counted and resolved ballots upstairs.
I will be observing the count Tuesday evening. It will be very boring. I looked at the entire operation with the remnants of my 12-year-old master shoplifter skills and found very few places in this system to inject shenanigans. And the ones I found would be easily caught by the mechanics of the system.
I feel confident declaring this county difficult to rig, at the ballot boxes or the counting. Every step of the way the system uses two-person control with bipartisan teams to physically handle boxes, unlock sealed boxes, run the sealed mailed-in ballots through signature verification, open the envelopes and unfold them, prep them for optical scanners, run the scanners, adjudicate any ballots the scanner cannot read, and tabulate to final results.

Quite a few assumptions in there. Not the thread to unpack your confusion, so let's just put a pin in that for later, shall we?

Thanks for this, Jrrarglblarg.
Interesting and educational.
Keep making the arguments for the other side, maybe someday someone will think you're conservative.

Warehouses and dealerships full of parts, and other cars.
How is favouring someone who aims to violate the fourth to eighth amendments, as well as the first "conservative"?
Despite what you might think, Clinton is not going to violate the second amendment.

I am a critical thinker, not a slave to whatever some poster on the internet thinks a conservative is.
ETA: no defense of Trump's lack of being a grownup, due to his waffling?

Is Trump closer to your politics than Clinton?

I observed a count in the UK once, when my little brother was running for local office (he knew he would lose overall, but he wanted to beat UKIP to third place and did, just). It was as all UK elections, pencil on paper. I found it quite fun, rather than boring. Whenever a questionable mark was found, the 'teller' would show the assembled observers the ballot paper and explain his reasons for accepting or rejecting a vote for one of the candidates; if anyone disputed this it would be left to the end to see if the total number of weird votes could affect the result.
The number of people who put a circle in the box rather than a cross was staggering. It's been a cross for the history of elections! However it still counts.
How is it that you can make things up out of thin air?
Yes, because she doesn't have the congress. If Obama had the congress, wouldn't he have severely restricted guns? Just like hills would.

Trump's politics are whatever he thinks the people he's talking to at that moment want to hear.
Kind of hard to pin that down, isn't it?

Presumably, the Jews and Muslims don't want to make a Christian symbol.

Trump is a Trumpian. I am a conservative, so no. He is whatever he needs to be to get attention and power.

Heh. And maybe English people don't want to use a Scottish symbol.
Might make it hard to e ercise their democratic rights, though.
