Judging past civilizations while living in today's times and thinking everyone should have been this enlightened is true idiocy. 

Columbus and his brother Diego were actually arrested by the crown in 1500 under the charge of tyranny.  Even in his time people were like, this guy is a murderous asshole.

and gave him a more lofty title (I think he was promoted to admiral of the high seas, or something like that).

the problem is the mixing of your personal opinions with your professional responsibilities.

if I go to buy shoes at foot locker, I don't want the clerk telling me I should buy lebron's nikes because black lives matter and we have too much systemic racism in this country.

In not trying to be a jerk, but just answer this:  is your wife really opinionated and vocal and do most of the positions you take on here mirror those opinions?  I’m usually right about shit like this and this is what my gut is telling me.  And please be honest.

My wife and I are very similar in our views. When we got married, I was more progressive than she was (believe it or not), and she has since "caught up" as we've evolved in our worldviews.

I'm much more vocally opinionated that she is. She'll shy away from political conversations with friends and family, while I often find it hard to resist. She also thinks it's stupid that I argue about this stuff on AngelsWin.

I said you're a weird one because you seem to have a Blarg perspective on Christopher F'ing Columbus.

There are many things I don’t agree with Trump on but I’ll take him over Biden all day everyday.

Yeah but you're celebrating the dude like you're excited for him. This isn't a case of "I don't really like him but I'll take him over X". It's more like you really like him but don't quite want to admit it so you call yourself a libertarian to pretend you're not just another cocksucking Trumper.

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure that in about three and a half years we'll be arguing in this thread about things like whether or not Christopher Columbus was a murderous c*nt.

Don't believe me?

Wait and see.

Also, we'll see a Clippers title in 2020. Book it, @m0nkey and @Tank. The Lakers are presently too terrible to possibly compete for one by them. LA will be a Clippers city. Clips for liiiiiife.

uncanny!

boy, you (almost) nailed it.

Trump will still get about 35% of the vote in California, which is about 7.35 million people. But he'll lose by about 7.5 million votes.
