No Speaking Spanish in the USA

In 2016 there were a few "faithless electors" as they're called. Actually more of them voted against their popular vote against H Clinton than Trump.

Yes, it keeps NYC and LA from choosing the President for all of us just because they fuck more. "They" are trying to usurp that by trucking in all kinds of immigrants to vote or at least be counted in the census.

Yes. In California, non-citizens can vote in state and local elections, but can not vote in federal elections. Also, (as of this writing), they can be counted in the census, which of course is used to apportion congressional representation, and various taxpayer funded initiatives and handouts.

That's because California fucks up everything.

Here in Florida, where maybe 3/5 of the population speaks Spanish, McDonalds Restaurant menu boards are labeled in Spanish. Even the little sugar packets. Err, I mean "azĂşcar".

GTFO.

Maybe that's because in Florida 9/10 of their clientele are Hispanic?

McDonalds is a down-market eating place, and Hispanics tend to be under-represented in the US upper class, but it would take a remarkably steep social gradient to make 95% of the customers Hispanic in a state where only 60% of the population speak Spanish.

Cursitor Doom doesn't invent particularly plausible fake statistics.
